We study the congruences of cubic partition function modulo powers of 5. The
notion of cubic partitions is introduced by Chan and named by Kim in connection
with Ramanujan's cubic continued fractions.
Chan has shown that cubic partition function has several analogous properties
to the number $p(n)$ of partitions, including the generating function, and
congruence relations. We generalize the results of Chen-Lin and Xiong on the
congruences of cubic partition function modulo 5 and 5 to the all powers of 5.
Let $a(n)$ defined by $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}a(n)q^n :=
\prod_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{1}{(1-q^{3n})(1-q^n)^3}.$ In this note, we prove that
for every nonnegative integer $n$, a(15n+6) \equiv 0\pmod{5}, a(15n+12) \equiv
0\pmod{5}. As a corollary, we obtained some results of Ono
Motivated by a question of Lovejoy \cite{lovejoy}, we show that three-colored
Frobenius partition functions $\c3$ and related arithmetic fuction $\cc3$
vanishes modulo some powers of 5 in certain arithmetic progressions.
The cubic partitions, introduced by Chan and Kim, have generating function
$\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}a(n)= \frac{1}{(q; q)_{\infty}(q^2; q^2)}.$ In this paper,
we generalize some results of Chen-Lin, which suggest that $a(n)$ should have
analogous properties of the ordinary partition function. Specifically, we show
that for every nonnegative integer $n$, $a(5^4n+547)\equiv 0\pmod{5^2},
a(7^3n+190)\equiv 0\pmod{7^2}, a(7^3n+288 \equiv 0\pmod{7^2} and
a(7^3n+337)\equiv 0\pmod{7^2}.$
