It is known that the numbers which occur in Apery's proof of the irrationality of zeta(2) have many interesting congruence properties while the associated generating function satisfies a second order differential equation. We prove…

Let $p$ be an odd prime. In this paper, by using the well-known Karlsson-Minton summation formula, we mainly prove two supercongruences as variants of a supercongruence of Deines-Fuselier-Long-Swisher-Tu, which confirm some recent…

Amdeberhan et al. (2024) introduced the notion of a generalized overcubic partition function $\overline a_c (n)$ and proved an infinite family of congruences modulo a prime $p\ge 3$ and some Ramanujan type congruences. In this paper, we…

We prove a conjecture that arose in the context of a subspace enumeration problem over finite fields. We prove, more generally, a bibasic, double-sum identity, which extends a $q$-analogue of the (terminating) binomial theorem.

We prove a $q$-analog of a classical binomial congruence due to Ljunggren which states that \[ \binom{a p}{b p} \equiv \binom{a}{b} \] modulo $p^3$ for primes $p\ge5$. This congruence subsumes and builds on earlier congruences by Babbage,…
