Letdenote the number of overpartitions of. Hirschhorn and Sellers conjectured that for,. Recently, Chen and Xia have proven this conjecture using 2-dissection formulas of theta functions due to Ramanujan, and Hirschhorn and Sellers, as well as-parametrization of theta functions given by Alaca, Alaca and Williams. In this paper, we shall give a new proof of this conjecture using some identities of Ramanujan. We also show that Ramanujan type identity for partitions weighted by the parity of the crank due to Choi, Kang and Lovejoy is equivalent with Ramanujan’s “Most Beautiful Identity” on, wheredenotes the number of partitions of.
