Let $M_n$ and $T_n$ denote the $n$th Motzkin number and the $n$th central trinomial coefficient respectively. We prove that for any prime $p\ge 5$, \begin{align*} &\sum_{k=0}^{p-1}M_k^2\equiv…

We establish supercongruences for two kinds of Ap\'ery-like numbers, which involve Bernoulli numbers and Bernoulli polynomials. Conjectural supercongruences of the same type for another four kinds of Ap\'ery-like numbers are also proposed.

The aim of this work is to establish congruences $\left( \operatorname{mod}p^{2}\right) $ involving the trinomial coefficients $\binom{np-1}{p-1}_{2}$ and $\binom{np-1}{\left( p-1\right)/2}_{2}$ arising from the expansion of the powers of…

The numbers $R_n$ and $W_n$ are defined as \begin{align*} R_n=\sum_{k=0}^{n}{n+k\choose 2k}{2k\choose k}\frac{1}{2k-1},\ \text{and}\ W_n=\sum_{k=0}^{n}{n+k\choose 2k}{2k\choose k}\frac{3}{2k-3}. \end{align*} We prove that, for any positive…

Let p be any odd prime. We mainly show that $$\sum_{k=1}^{p-1}binomial(3k,k)*2^k/k=0 (mod p)$$ and $$\sum_{k=1}^{p-1}2^{k-1}C_k^{(2)}=(-1)^{(p-1)/2}-1 (mod p),$$ where $C_k^{(2)}=binomial(3k,k)/(2k+1)$ is the $k$th Catalan number of order…

Let $p$ be a prime and ${\mathcal{P}_{p}}$ the set of positive integers which are prime to $p$. We establish the following interesting congruence \[\sum\limits_{\begin{smallmatrix} i+j+k={{p}^{r}} i,j,k\in {\mathcal{P}_{p}}…

In this paper we prove three conjectures on congruences involving central binomial coefficients or Lucas sequences. Let $p$ be an odd prime and let $a$ be a positive integer. We show that if $p\equiv 1\pmod{4}$ or $a>1$ then $$…

Let p be any prime, and let a and n be nonnegative integers. Let $r\in Z$ and $f(x)\in Z[x]$. We establish the congruence $$p^{\deg f}\sum_{k=r(mod p^a)}\binom{n}{k}(-1)^k f((k-r)/p^a) =0 (mod p^{\sum_{i=a}^{\infty}[n/p^i]})$$ (motivated by…

In this paper, we mainly prove two conjectural supercongruences of Sun by using the following identity $$ \sum_{k=0}^n\binom{2k}{k}^2\binom{2n-2k}{n-k}^2=16^n\sum_{k=0}^n\frac{\binom{n+k}{k}\binom{n}{k}\binom{2k}{k}^2}{(-16)^k} $$ which…

Let $p>3$ be a prime, and let $R_p$ be the set of rational numbers whose denominator is coprime to $p$. Let $\{P_n(x)\}$ be the Legendre polynomials. In this paper we mainly show that for $m,n,t\in R_p$ with $m\not\e 0\pmod p$, $$\align…

We give q-analogues of the following congruences by Z.-W. Sun: \sum_{k=1}^{p-1}\frac{D_k}{k} \equiv -\frac{2^{p-1}-1}{p} \pmod p,\\ \sum_{k=1}^{p-1}\frac{H_k}{k 2^k}\equiv 0 \pmod{p},\quad p\geqslant 5, where p is a prime,…

In recent years, the congruence $$ \sum_{\substack{i+j+k=p\\ i,j,k>0}} \frac1{ijk} \equiv -2 B_{p-3} \pmod{p}, $$ first discovered by the last author have been generalized by either increasing the number of indices and considering the…

We prove some supercongruence and divisibility results on sums involving Domb numbers, which confirm four conjectures of Z.-W. Sun and Z.-H. Sun. For instance, by using a transformation formula due to Chan and Zudilin, we show that for any…

In this paper, we mainly prove the following conjectures of Z.-W. Sun \cite{S13}: Let $p>2$ be a prime. If $p=x^2+3y^2$ with $x,y\in\mathbb{Z}$ and $x\equiv1\pmod 3$, then $$x\equiv\frac14\sum_{k=0}^{p-1}(3k+4)\frac{f_k}…

Many combinatorial sequences (for example, the Catalan and Motzkin numbers) may be expressed as the constant term of $P(x)^k Q(x)$, for some Laurent polynomials $P(x)$ and $Q(x)$ in the variable $x$ with integer coefficients. Denoting such…

In this paper we present many congruences for several Ap\'ery-like sequences.

In this paper, we establish congruences (mod $p^2$) involving the quadrinomial coefficients $\dbinom{np-1}{p-1}_{3}$ and $\dbinom{np-1}{\frac{p-1}{2}}_{3}$. This is an analogue of congruences involving the trinomial coefficients…

Let $m$, $r$ and $n$ be positive integers. We denote by ${\bf k}\vdash n$ any tuple of odd positive integers ${\bf k}=(k_1,\dots,k_t)$ such that $k_1+\dots+k_t=n$ and $k_j\ge 3$ for all $j$. In this paper we prove that for every…

For various positive integers $k$, the sums of $k$th powers of the first $n$ positive integers, $S_k(n+1)=1^k+2^k+...+n^k$, have got to be some of the most popular sums in all of mathematics. In this note we prove that for each $k\ge 2 $$…

For $A,B\in\mathbb Z$, the Lucas sequence $u_n(A,B)\ (n=0,1,2,\ldots)$ are defined by $u_0(A,B)=0$, $u_1(A,B)=1$, and $u_{n+1}(A,B) = Au_n(A,B)-Bu_{n-1}(A,B)$ $(n=1,2,3,\ldots).$ For any odd prime $p$ and positive integer $n$, we establish…
