In Combinatorics Stirling numbers may be defined in several ways. One such definition is given in [1], where an extensive consideration of Stirling numbers is presented. In this paper an alternative definition of Stirling numbers of both…
Let $m, n, k$ and $c$ be positive integers. Let $\nu_2(k)$ be the 2-adic valuation of $k$. By $S(n,k)$ we denote the Stirling numbers of the second kind. In this paper, we first establish a convolution identity of the Stirling numbers of…

This is a historical introduction to the theory of Stirling numbers of the second kind S(n,k) from the point of view of analysis. We tell the story of their birth in the book of James Stirling (1730) and show how they mature in the works of…
The multi-Stirling numbers of the second kind, the unsigned multi-Stirling numbers of the first kind, the multi-Lah numbers and the multi-Bernoulli numbers are all defined with the help of the multiple logarithm, and generalize respectively…
The degenerate Stirling numbers of the second kind and of the first kind, which are respectively degenerate versions of the Stirling numbers of the second kind and of the first kind, appear frequently when we study various degenerate…

Some applications of a result, which is proved recently, is considered. We first prove three determinantal identities concerning the binomial coefficient and Stirling numbers of the first and the second kind. We also easily obtain the…
An identity for binomial symbols modulo an odd positive integer $n$ relating to the least prime factor of $n$ is proved. The identity is discussed within the context of Pell conics.
During the course of an ongoing work on the small-$x$ behaviour of parton distribution functions, some identities have been found which involve Stirling numbers of the first and the second kind, as well as binomial coefficients. Without any…
Stirling numbers of both kinds are linked to each other via two combinatorial identities due to Schl\"afli and Gould. Using q-analogs of Stirling numbers defined as inversion generating functions, we provide q-analogs of the two identities.…

Factorial series played a major role in Stirling's classic book "Methodus Differentialis" (1730), but now only a few specialists still use them. This article wants to show that this neglect is unjustified, and that factorial series are…
In the paper, the author finds an explicit formula for computing Bernoulli numbers of the second kind in terms of Stirling numbers of the first kind.
In this short note we provide some algebraic identity with a proof exploiting its probabilistic interpretation. We show several consequences of the identity, in particular we obtain a new representation of a Stirling number of second kind,…
