Let ``Faulhaber's formula'' refer to an expression for the sum of powers of integers written with terms in n(n+1)/2. Initially, the author used Faulhaber's formula to explain why odd Bernoulli numbers are equal to zero. Next, Cereceda gave…
We present generalisations of Wilson's theorem for double factorials, hyperfactorials, subfactorials and superfactorials.
We observe that the classical Faulhaber's theorem on sums of odd powers also holds for an arbitrary arithmetic progression, namely, the odd power sums of any arithmetic progression $a+b, a+2b, ..., a+nb$ is a polynomial in $na+n(n+1)b/2$.…
Lucas' theorem describes how to reduce a binomial coefficient $\binom{a}{b}$ modulo $p$ by breaking off the least significant digits of $a$ and $b$ in base $p$. We characterize the pairs of these digits for which Lucas' theorem holds modulo…
We show that the cyclotomic Iwasawa--Greenberg Main Conjecture holds for a large class of modular forms with multiplicative reduction at $p$, extending previous results for the good ordinary case. In fact, the multiplicative case is deduced…
The main result of this paper is a new version of Newton-Hensel lifting that relates to interpolation questions. It allows one to lift polynomials in $Z[x]$ from information modulo a prime number $p\ne 2$ to a power $p^k$ for any $k$, and…
The aim of this paper is to study the fully degenerate Bernoulli polynomials and numbers, which are a degenerate version of Bernoulli polynomials and numbers and arise naturally from the Volkenborn integral of the degenerate exponential…
The classical division algorithm for polynomials requires $O(n^2)$ operations for inputs of size $n$. Using reversal technique and Newton iteration, it can be improved to $O({M}(n))$, where ${M}$ is a multiplication time. But the method…
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…
In this paper, we investigate Fuglede's conjecture for $\mathbb{Z}_{p^2q^2r}$ and provide a proof under the condition $p^2q^2 \leq r$. We develop a new technique by analyzing the divisibility of the mask polynomial of a given set by a…
Let $p>3$ be a prime, and let $a$ be a rational p-adic integer with $a\not\equiv 0\pmod p$. In this paper we establish congruences for $$\sum_{k=1}^{(p-1)/2}\frac{\binom ak\binom{-1-a}k}k, \quad\sum_{k=0}^{(p-1)/2}k\binom ak\binom{-1-a}k…

In this paper, we consider the poly-Bernoulli numbers and polynomials of the second kind and presents new and explicit formulae for calculating the poly-Bernoulli numbers of the second kind and the Stirling numbers of the second kind.
The main purpose of this paper is using a very simple constructive method to study an old number theory problem related to the Legendre symbol modulo p, and completely solved it. The proving method of the result is purely elementary and has…
For integer $k \geq 1$, let $S_k(n)$ denote the sum of the $k$th powers of the first $n$ positive integers. In this paper, we derive a new formula expressing $2^{2k}$ times $S_{2k}(n)$ as a sum of $k$ terms involving the numbers in the…
Using the theory of Stienstra and Beukers, we prove various elementary congruences for the numbers \sum \binom{2i_1}{i_1}^2\binom{2i_2}{i_2}^2...\binom{2i_k}{i_k}^2, where k,n \in N, and the summation is over the integers i_1, i_2, ...i_k…
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…
For all positive powers of primes $p\geq 5$, we prove the existence of infinitely many linear congruences between the exponents of twisted Borcherds products arising from a suitable scalar-valued weight $1/2$ weakly holomorphic modular form…
For each of the groups PSL2(F25), PSL2(F32), PSL2(F49), PGL2(F25), and PGL2(F27), we display the first explicitly known polynomials over Q having that group as Galois group. Each polynomial is related to a Galois representation associated…
