The conjectures on valuations for non-prime-power colored partition functions

From papers

Let Sk,m(n)S_{k,m}(n) be the nnth coefficient in the power-series expansion defining the mm-colored kk-ary partition function, and let

φk(n)=max{sN:ksn},φk(0)=+.\varphi_k(n)=\max\{s\in\mathbb{N}:k^s\mid n\},\qquad \varphi_k(0)=+\infty.

Non-prime-power valuation conjectures. If kk is not a power of a prime number, then for every mN+m\in\mathbb{N}_{+}, the sequence (φk(Sk,m(n)))nN(\varphi_k(S_{k,m}(n)))_{n\in\mathbb{N}} is unbounded and is not kk-regular. These claims are based on numerical computations and remain open.
