We study the divisibility of the sums of the odd power of consecutive integers, $S(m,k)=1^{mk}+2^{mk}+\cdots+k^{mk}$ and $1^k+2^k+\cdots+n^k$ for odd integers $m$ and $k$, by using the Girard-Waring identity. Faulhaber's approach for the…

We prove an important property of the binomial transform: it converts multiplication by the discrete variable into a certain difference operator. We also consider the case of dividing by the discrete variable. The properties presented here…

A definition is offered of the factorial characters of the general linear group, the symplectic group and the orthogonal group in an odd dimensional space. It is shown that these characters satisfy certain flagged Jacobi-Trudi identities.…

A {\em snark} is a cubic cyclically 4-edge connected graph with edge chromatic number four and girth at least five. We say that a graph $G$ is {\em odd 2-factored} if for each 2-factor F of G each cycle of F is odd. In this paper, we…

In this article we prove an algebraic identity which significantly generalizes the formula for sum of powers of consecutive integers involving Stirling numbers of the second kind. Also we have obtained a generalization of Newton-Girard…

We apply a seemingly forgotten series expression of N\"orlund for the psi function to express infinite series involving inverse factorials in closed form. Many of such series contain products of Catalan numbers and (odd) harmonic numbers.…

An odd prime $p$ is called irregular with respect to Euler polynomials if it divides the numerator of one of the numbers $$E_1(0),E_{3}(0),\ldots,E_{p-2}(0),$$ where $E_n(x)$ is the $n$-th Euler polynomial. As in the classical case, we link…

We study odd numbers through a straightforward indexing. We focus in particular on odd prime and composite numbers and their distribution. With a counting argument, we calculate the limit of two sums and compare their convergence rate.

For odd square-free n > 1 the n-th cyclotomic polynomial satisfies an identity of Gauss. There are similar identity of Aurifeuille, Le Lasseur and Lucas. These identities all involve certain polynomials with integer coefficients. We show…

In the paper, the author presents diagonal recurrence relations for the Stirling numbers of the first kind. As by-products, the author also recovers three explicit formulas for special values of the Bell polynomials of the second kind.
