Employing the $q$-Lucas theorem and some known $q$-supercongruences, we give some Dwork-type $q$-congruences, confirming three conjectures in [J. Combin. Theory, Ser. A 178 (2021), Art.~105362]. As conclusions, we obtain the following…

Using Zeilberger's algorithm, we here give a proof of the supercongruence $$ \sum_{n=0}^{\frac{p^r-3}{4}}(8n+1)\frac{\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)_n^4}{(1)_n^4}\equiv -p^3…

For a non-negative integer $m$, let $S(m)$ denote the sum given by $$S(m):=\sum_{n=0}^{m}\frac{(-1)^n(8n+1)}{n!^3}\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)_n^3.$$ Using the powerful WZ-method, for a prime $p\equiv 3$ $($mod $4)$ and an odd integer $r>1$, we…

We establish some supercongruences related to a supercongruence of Van Hamme, such as \begin{align*} \sum_{k=0}^{(p+1)/2} (-1)^k (4k-1)\frac{(-\frac{1}{2})_k^3}{k!^3} &\equiv p(-1)^{(p+1)/2}+p^3(2-E_{p-3})\pmod{p^{4}},\\…

Using the $q$-Wilf--Zeilberger method and a $q$-analogue of a "divergent" Ramanujan-type supercongruence, we give several $q$-supercongruences modulo the fourth power of a cyclotomic polynomial. One of them is a $q$-analogue of a…
