Abstract

In this paper, we show the congruences \(\sum \limits _{k=m}^{p-1}q^{k}{k \brack m}_{q}\widetilde{H}_{k,2}(q)\) \(\pmod {\left[ p\right] _{q}^{2}}\) and \(\sum \limits _{k=m}^{p-1}q^{k}{k \brack m}_{q}\widetilde{H}_{k}^{2}(q)\) \(\pmod {\left[ p\right] _{q}^{2}}\) with a prime number \(p>2\) and \(m=0, 1, 2,.., p-1\).
