Abstract. The modular relations between the Ramanujan-Selberg continued fractions H (q ), H (q 5 ), H (q n ), and H (q 5n ) for n = 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 11, and 13 are established as an application to several new Jacobi-Sohncke type mixed modular equations for composite degrees 1, 5, n, and 5n. We also obtain congruence properties for color overpartition of n with odd parts.

Introduction
The theory of modular equations commenced when A. M. Legendre [12], in his paper derived a modular equation of degree 3 in 1825. In fact prior to this, Landen records Landen's transformation in his papers [10], [11] in 1771 and 1775. After Legendre, Jacobi established modular equations of degree 3 and 5 in his famous book [8]. Sohncke [22, 23] established modular equations of degrees 7, 11, 13, 17, and 19. Subsequently many mathematicians have contributed to the theory of modular equations. Some of them are Guetzlaff, Schröter, Schläi, Klein, Cayley, Russell, Weber. Ramanujan's contributions in the area of modular equations are immense. Perhaps, Ramanujan found more modular equations than all of his predecessors discovered together. For more on modular equations one can refer [7, 9, 13, 14, 18]. The complete elliptic integral of rst kind is dened as K (k ) :=

where 0 < k < 1 and 2 F1 is the ordinary or Gaussian hypergeometric function dened by 2 F1 (a, b; c; z )
:=
∞ ∑ (a)n (b)n n z , 0 ≤ |z| < 1, (c)n n! n=0
(a)0 = 1, (a)n = a(a + 1) · · · (a + n − 1) for n a positive integer
and a, b, c are complex numbers such that c ̸= 0, −1, −2, . . . . The number k is called the √ modulus of K , and k′ := 1 − k2 is called the complementary modulus. Now we dene modular equation in brief. Let K , K ′ , L, and L′ denote the complete elliptic integrals of the rst kind associated with the moduli k, k′ , l, and l′ , respectively. Suppose that the equality n
K′ L′ = K L

holds for some positive integer n. Then a modular equation of degree n is a relation between the moduli k and l which is induced by (1.2). Following Ramanujan, set α = k2 and β = l2 . Then we say β is of degree n over α. The multiplier m is dened by m=
However, if we set
K . L
(1.3)
q = exp{−πK ′ /K}
and q ′ = exp{−πL′ /L} (1.4) n ′ we see that (1.2) is equivalent to the relation q = q . Thus a modular equation can be viewed as an identity involving theta-functions at the arguments q and q n . Let K , K ′ , L1 , L′1 , L2 , L′2 , L3 , and L′3 denote complete √ elliptic integrals of the rst kind √ √ √ corresponding, in pairs, to the moduli α, β , γ , and δ , and their complementary moduli, respectively. Let n1 , n2 , and n3 be positive integers such that n3 = n1 n2 . Suppose that the equalities n1

hold. Then a mixed modular equation is a relation between the moduli α, β , γ , and δ that is induced by (1.5). We say that β , γ , and δ are of degrees n1 , n2 , and n3 , respectively over α. The multipliers m and m′ are associated with α, β and γ , δ . The equations involving α1/8 and β 1/8 are referred to them as Jacobi-Sohncke type modular equations. Remark 1.1.
Recently, M. S. Mahadeva Naika, K. Sushan Bairy and C. Shivashankar [17] have obtained Jacobi-Sohncke type mixed modular equations of degrees 1, 3, n and 3n. In [21, eq.(54)], Selberg rst proved the continued fraction identity 1

which appears as Formula 5 [20, p. 290]. Other proofs have been given by Ramanathan [19] and Andrews, Berndt, Jacobsen and Lamphere [2]. Recently , two integral representations for H (q ), a relation between H (q ) and H (q n ) and some explicit evaluations of H (q ) have been obtained by Adiga, Mahadeva Naika and Ramya Rao [1]. Mahadeva Naika et al. [15, 16], have obtained several integral representations and also Rogers-Ramanujan type functions for H (q ). In section 2, we collect the identities which helps us to prove our main results. In sections 3, we establish several new mixed modular equations. In section 4, we establish modular relations for Ramanujan-Selberg continued fraction with four moduli. In section 5, we establish some congruence properties for overpartitions of n in p−colors with odd parts. 2

Color partition identities for overpartition with odd parts
An overpartition of n is a non increasing sequence of natural numbers whose sum is n in which the rst occurrence of a number may be overlined. Let p(n) denote the number of overpartitions of an integer n. For convenience, we set p(0) = 1. For example, there are eight overpartitions of 3 are 3, 3, 2 + 1, 2 + 1, 2 + 1, 2 + 1, 1 + 1 + 1, 1 + 1 + 1. The generating function for p(n) is given by Corteel and Lovejoy [6] as ∞ ∑
p(n)q n =

Similarly, let P(n) be the number of overpartitions of n in which only odd parts are considered. ∞ ∑
P(n)q n =

where Rpl,m (n) denotes the number of overpartitions of n in 2p colors in which p colors appears only in odd parts that are not multiples of l, and another p colors appears only in odd parts that are multiples of m but are not multiples of lm. For l, m relatively prime, let Tpl,m (n) denotes the number of overpartitions of n into odd parts with p colors that are not multiples of l or m. The generating function for Tpl,m (n) is dened as, ∞ ∑ n=0 Theorem 5.1.

Using (5.3)(5.5), (5.11) can be expressed as χ(q )χ(−q 5 )χ(−q 3 )χ(q 15 ) χ(−q )χ(q 5 )χ(q 3 )χ(−q 15 ) + ( χ(−q )χ(q 5 )χ(q 3 )χ(−q 15 ) χ q )χ(−q 5 )χ(−q 3 )χ(q 15 ) χ2 (q )χ2 (−q 5 )χ2 (q 3 )χ2 (−q 15 ) χ2 (−q )χ2 (q 5 )χ2 (−q 3 )χ2 (q 15 ) ≡ 2 + χ (−q )χ2 (q 5 )χ2 (−q 3 )χ2 (q 15 ) χ2 (q )χ2 (−q 5 )χ2 (q 3 )χ2 (−q 15 )
(5.12) (mod 3).
With the aid of (5.6) and (5.7), we arrive at (5.8). Proofs of (5.9) and (5.10) are similar to that of (5.8), but rather than (3.7), we use (3.13) and (3.15). References
