Some new congruences modulo 5 for the general partition function (Q2225880)

In this paper, the authors investigate the generalized partition function \(p_r(n)\) given by \[ \sum_{n=0}^\infty p_r(n) q^n = \frac{1}{(q;q)_\infty^r}. \] They show that the function \(p_r(n)\) satisfies several new congruences modulo \(5\) for \( r\in\{-(5\lambda+a),-(25\lambda+b)\}, \) where \(\lambda\) is any non-negative integer, \(a\in\{1,2,3,6,9\}\) and \(b\in\{1,2\}\).
