In recent years, Z.-W. Sun proposed several sophisticated conjectures on congruences for finite sums with terms involving combinatorial sequences such as central trinomial coefficients, Domb numbers and Franel numbers. These sums are double…
We extend the criterion on the existence of telescopers for hypergeometric terms to the case of P-recursive sequences. This criterion is based on the concept of integral bases and the generalized Abramov-Petkovsek reduction for P-recursive…
We propose a way to split a given bivariate P-recursive sequence into a summable part and a non-summable part in such a way that the non-summable part is minimal in some sense. This decomposition gives rise to a new reduction-based creative…
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…
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…
Following the method of combinatorial telescoping for alternating sums given by Chen, Hou and Mu, we present a combinatorial telescoping approach to partition identities on sums of positive terms. By giving a classification of the…
According to the $q$-series method, a short proof for Hou and Sun's identity, which is the $q$-analogue of a known $\pi$-formula, is offered. Furthermore, $q$-analogues of several other $\pi$-formulas are also established in terms of the…
With the help of a summation of basic hypergeometric series, the creative microscoping method recently introduced by Guo and Zudilin, and the Chinese remainder theorem for coprime polynomials, we find some new $q$-supercongruences.…
In terms of the telescoping method, a simple binomial sum is given. By applying the derivative operators to the equation just mentioned, we establish several general harmonic number identities including some known results.
In their study of a binomial sum related to Wolstenholme's theorem, Chamberland and Dilcher prove that the corresponding sequence modulo primes $p$ satisfies congruences that are analogous to Lucas' theorem for the binomial coefficients…
We establish two binomial coefficient--generalized harmonic sum identities using the partial fraction decomposition method. These identities are a key ingredient in the proofs of numerous supercongruences. In particular, in other works of…
In this paper, we shall find a new connection between $n$th degree polynomial mod $p$ congruence with $n$ roots and higher-order Fibonacci and Lucas sequences. We shall first discuss the recent work been done in sequences and their…
We generalize the method of combinatorial telescoping to the case of multiple summations. We shall demonstrate this idea by giving combinatorial proofs for two identities of Andrews on parity indices of partitions.
In 2017, He [Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 145 (2017), 501--508] established two spuercongruences on truncated hypergeometric series and further proposed two related conjectures. Subsequently, Liu [Results Math. 72 (2017), 2057--2066] extended…
By examining asymptotic behavior of certain infinite basic ($q$-) hypergeometric sums at roots of unity (that is, at a "$q$-microscopic" level) we prove polynomial congruences for their truncations. The latter reduce to non-trivial…
A summation is a shift-invariant ${\rm R}$-module homomorphism from a submodule of ${\rm R}[[\sigma]]$ to ${\rm R}$ or another ring. [11] formalized a method for extending a summation to a larger domain by telescoping. In this paper, we…
In this paper, we investigate a number of $q$-supercongruences on double and triple sums. By means of a lemma devised by El Bachraoui and its generalization, we transform some $q$-supercongruences on double and triple sums into the…
In this paper, we mainly prove the following congruence conjectured by J.-C. Liu: $$ {}_6F_5\bigg[\begin{matrix}\frac{5}{4}&\frac{1}{2}&\frac{1}{2}&\frac{1}{2}&\frac{1}{2}&\frac{1}{2}\\&\frac{1}{4}&1&1&1&1\end{matrix}\bigg|\…
By combining the telescoping method with an algebraic relation, four classes of binomial moments are examined. Several explicit summation formulae are established.
Binomial coefficients and central trinomial coefficients play important roles in combinatorics. Let $p>3$ be a prime. We show that $$T_{p-1}\equiv\left(\frac p3\right)3^{p-1}\ \pmod{p^2},$$ where the central trinomial coefficient $T_n$ is…
