The partial Stirling numbers T_n(k) used here are defined as the sum over odd values of i of (n choose i) i^k. Their 2-exponents nu(T_n(k)) are important in algebraic topology. We provide many specific results, applying to all values of n,…

Let $b^{k}_{\ell,m}(n)$ denotes the number of $k-$colored partitions of $n$ into parts that are not multiples of $\ell$ or $m$. We establish several congruence relations for $b_{\ell,m}(n)$. For instance, for any nonnegative integer $n$…

The generalized Erd\H{o}s-Straus conjecture, proposed by Wac\l{}aw Sierpi\'{n}ski in 1956, asks whether the Diophantine equation \[ \frac{5}{a} = \frac{1}{b} + \frac{1}{c} + \frac{1}{d} \] admits positive integer solutions $b,c,d \in…

For any non-negative integer $n$ and non-zero integer $r$, let $p_r(n)$ denote Ramanujan's general partition function. By employing $q$-identities, we prove some new Ramanujan-type congruences modulo 5 for $p_r(n)$ for $r=-(5\lambda+1),…

For $m$ an even positive integer and $p$ a prime, we show that the generalized Euler polynomial $E_{mp}^{(mp)}(x)$ is in Eisenstein form with respect to $p$ if and only if $p$ does not divide $m (2^m-1)B_m$. As a consequence, we deduce that…

In this paper we study recurrences concerning the combinatorial sum $[n,r]_m=\sum_{k\equiv r (mod m)}\binom {n}{k}$ and the alternate sum $\sum_{k\equiv r (mod m)}(-1)^{(k-r)/m}\binom{n}{k}$, where m>0, $n\ge 0$ and r are integers. For…

We enumerate total cyclic orders on $\left\{1,\ldots,n\right\}$ where we prescribe the relative cyclic order of consecutive triples $(i,{i+1},{i+2})$, these integers being taken modulo $n$. In some cases, the problem reduces to the…

In this paper, we investigate the Euler sums $$ G_{n+2}(p,q)=\sum_{1\leq k_1<k_2<\cdots<k_{p+1}}\frac1{k_1k_2\cdots k_pk_{p+1}^{n+2}} \sum_{1\leq\ell_1\leq\ell_2\leq\cdots\leq\ell_q\leq k_{p+1}}\frac1{\ell_1\ell_2\cdots\ell_q}. $$ We give…

Let $p$ be a large prime number and $g$ be any integer of multiplicative order $T$ modulo $p$. We obtain a new estimate of the double exponential sum $$ S=\sum_{n\in \mathcal{N}}\left|\sum_{m\in \mathcal{M} }e_p(an g^{m})\right|, \quad \gcd…

This paper concerns the values of the Euler phi-function evaluated simultaneously on k arithmetic progressions a_1 n + b_1, a_2 n + b_2, ..., a_k n + b_k. Assuming the necessary condition that no two of the polynomials a_i x + b_i are…

Let $m\ge 2$ be a fixed positive integer. Suppose that $m^j \leq n< m^{j+1}$ is a positive integer for some $j\ge 0$. Denote $b_{m}(n)$ the number of $m$-ary partitions of $n$, where each part of the partition is a power of $m$. In this…

Let $\sigma(n)$ denote the sum of the positive divisors of $n$. We prove that for any positive integer $k$, there is a number $m$ for which the equation $\sigma(x)=m$ has exactly $k$ solutions, settling a conjecture of Sierpi\'nski from…

Let $k\geq 2$ be a positive integer. We study concentration results for the ordered representation functions $r^{\leq}_k(A,n) = \# \big\{ (a_1 \leq \dots \leq a_k) \in A^k : a_1+\dots+a_k = n \big\}$ and $r^{<}_k(A,n) = \# \big\{ (a_1 <…

By applying the Newton-Gregory expansion to the polynomial associated with the sum of powers of integers $S_k(n) = 1^k + 2^k + \cdots + n^k$, we derive a couple of infinite families of explicit formulas for $S_k(n)$. One of the families…

Our work is motivated by the fact that the norms of the Eulerian integers are related to the sums of form $a^2-ab+b^2$, providing a natural generalization for problems concerning products over sums or differences of integers. Let $E$ be the…

Certain generalization of Euler numbers was defined in 1935 by Lehmer using cubic roots of unity, as a natural generalization of Bernoulli and Euler numbers. In this paper, Lehmer's generalized Euler numbers are studied to give certain…

For an integer $k$, define poly-Euler numbers of the second kind $\widehat E_n^{(k)}$ ($n=0,1,\dots$) by $$ \frac{{\rm Li}_k(1-e^{-4 t})}{4\sinh t}=\sum_{n=0}^\infty\widehat E_n^{(k)}\frac{t^n}{n!}\,. $$ When $k=1$, $\widehat E_n=\widehat…
