Supercongruence for the sporadic sequences B and F
Let be a prime, and let be one of the sequences and , defined by
or
Here is the Legendre symbol, is the Bernoulli polynomial, and is an integer sequence. The supercongruence for and . For all positive integers , the sequence satisfies
The sequence is independent of . This is a numerical conjecture about supercongruences for two sporadic Apéry-like sequences, with the correction term expressed using a Bernoulli polynomial; the displayed values of in the source provide computational evidence but no proof or resolution is supplied.
