Abstract

Andrews [‘Binary and semi-Fibonacci partitions’, J. Ramanujan Soc. Math. Math. Sci.7(1) (2019), 1–6] recently proved a new identity between the cardinalities of the set of semi-Fibonacci partitions and the set of partitions into powers of 2 with all parts appearing an odd number of times. We extend the identity to the set of semi-$m$-Fibonacci partitions of $n$ and the set of partitions of $n$ into powers of $m$ in which all parts appear with multiplicity not divisible by $m$. We also give a new characterisation of semi-$m$-Fibonacci partitions and some congruences satisfied by the associated number sequence.
