Recently, A. Deines, J. Fuselier, L. Long, H. Swisher and F. Tu posed some open problems on supercongruences in \\cite{DFLST} based on numeric observations. We prove two of the supercongruences posed in \\cite{DFLST}. Our results also generalize certain supercongruences proved in \\cite{DFLST}. One of our supercongruence is similar to a supercongruence proved by L. Long and R. Ramakrishna in \\cite{long}. The supercongruence conjectured by Rodriguez-Villegas and proved by E. Mortenson \\cite{mortenson2} using the theory of Gaussian hypergeometric series follows from one of our more general supercongruence.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2015-07-27T12:57:34.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "33E50", "33C20", "33C99", "11S80" ], "keywords": [ "truncated hypergeometric series", "p-adic gamma function", "gaussian hypergeometric series", "numeric observations", "general supercongruence" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2015arXiv150707391B" } } }
