We establish a q-analogue of Sun-Zhao's congruence on harmonic sums. Based on this q-congruence and a q-series identity, we prove a congruence conjecture on sums of central q-binomial coefficients, which was recently proposed by Guo. We also deduce a q-analogue of a congruence due to Apagodu and Zeilberger from Guo's q-congruence.
In 1997, van Hamme conjectured 13 Ramanujan-type supercongruences labeled (A.2)-(M.2). Using some combinatorial identities discovered by Sigma, we extend (A.2) and (H.2) to supercongruences modulo p 4 for primes p ≡ 3 (mod 4), which appear to be new.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
