Abstract:

In this paper, we use q-binomial theorem to establish some new q-analogues of Granville and Sun’s congruence:

k=1p1xk
-k- 1 − xp − (x− 1)p
-------p------- (mod p),

and

k=1p1xk-
k2 1
p(                  p−1          )
  1+-(x-− 1)p −-xp ∑  (1−-x)k −-1
         p       −         k
                   k=1 (mod p),

where x is a variable and p is an odd prime.



Keywords:

q-analogue, q-binomial theorem, cyclotomic polynomials.
