Congruences and relations for r-Fishburn numbers

Number Theory 2014-06-24 v1 Combinatorics

Abstract

Recently Andrews and Sellers proved some amazing congruences for the Fishburn numbers. We extend their results to a more general sequence of numbers. As a result we prove a new congruence mod 23 for the Fishburn numbers and prove their conjectured mod 5 congruence for a related sequence. We also extend and prove some unpublished conjectures of Garthwaite and Rhoades.
