Abstract

For any integer r2r\ge2, define a sequence of numbers {ck(r)}k=0\{c_k^{(r)}\}_{k=0}^\infty, independent of the parameter nn, by k=0n(nk)r(n+kk)r=k=0n(nk)(n+kk)ck(r),n=0,1,2,...c. \sum_{k=0}^n{\binom nk}^r{\binom{n+k}k}^r =\sum_{k=0}^n\binom nk\binom{n+k}kc_k^{(r)}, \qquad n=0,1,2,...c. We prove that all the numbers ck(r)c_k^{(r)} are integers.
