Odd unimodal sequeneces

Abstract

In this paper we study odd unimodal and odd strongly unimodal sequences. We use $q$-series methods to find several fundamental generating functions. Employing the Euler--Maclaurin summation formula we obtain the asymptotic main term for both types of sequences. We also find families of congruences modulo $4$ for the number of odd strongly unimodal sequences.
