We introduce the subsum polynomial of a partition $\lambda=(\lambda_1, \lambda_2, \ldots, \lambda_k)$ defined by $\mathrm{sp}(\lambda, x)=\prod_{i=1}^k(1+x^{\lambda_i})$. We study the sum of reciprocals of $\mathrm{sp}(\lambda, x)$ over all…

In this paper we establish some congruences involving the Ap\'ery numbers $\beta_{n}=\sum_{k=0}^{n}\binom{n}{k}^2\binom{n+k}{k}$ $(n=0,1,2,\ldots)$. For example, we show that $$\sum_{k=0}^{n-1}(11k^2+13k+4)\beta_k\equiv0\pmod{2n^2}$$ for…

In this paper, by constructing some identities, we prove some $q$-analogues of some congruences. For example, for any odd integer $n>1$, we show that \begin{gather*} \sum_{k=0}^{n-1} \frac{(q^{-1};q^2)_k}{(q;q)_k} q^k \equiv (-1)^{(n+1)/2}…
