Abstract
In 2010, Sun and Tauraso proved the combinatorial congruence
Later, Guo and Zeng gave a q-analogue of this congruence: for any positive odd integer n,
where \(\Phi _n(q)\) represents the n-th cyclotomic polynomial in q and \((a,q)_n\) is the q-shifted factorial. In this paper, we shall provide some generalizations of Guo and Zeng’s q-congruences.
