In this note, we provide bijective proofs of some identities involving the Bell number, as previously requested. Our arguments may be extended to yield a generalization in terms of complete Bell polynomials. We also provide a further…
In this paper, we introduce the Lah-Bell numbers and their natural extensions, namely the Lah-Bell polynomials, and derive some basic properties of such numbers and polynomials by using elementary methods. In addition, we consider the…
We introduce several statistics on ordered partitions of sets, that is, set partitions where the blocks are permuted arbitrarily. The distribution of these statistics is closely related to the q-Stirling numbers of the second kind. Some of…
The number partitioning problem consists of partitioning a sequence of positive numbers ${a_1,a_2,..., a_N}$ into two disjoint sets, ${\cal A}$ and ${\cal B}$, such that the absolute value of the difference of the sums of $a_j$ over the two…
The Mersenne primes are primes which can be written as some prime power of 2 minus 1. These primes were studied from antiquity in that their close connection with perfect numbers and even to present day in that their easiness for primality…
Recently, Kim-Kim introduced the lambda-umbral calculus, in which the lambda-Sheffer sequences occupy the central position. In this paper, we introduce the fully degenerate Bell and the fully degenerate Dowling polynomials, and investigate…
Generalizations of Bell polynomials, Bell numbers, and Stirling numbers of the second kind have been introduced and their generating functions were evaluated.
An ordered partition of [n]:={1,2,..., n} is a sequence of its disjoint subsets whose union is [n]. The number of ordered partitions of [n] with k blocks is k!S(n,k), where S(n,k) is the Stirling number of second kind. In this paper we…
We question the commonly accepted statement that random numbers certified by Bell's theorem carry some special sort of randomness, so to say, quantum randomness or intrinsic randomness. We show that such numbers can be easily generated by…
We study a generalization of the classical Pentagonal Number Theorem and its applications. We derive new identities for certain infinite series, recurrence relations and convolution sums for certain restricted partitions and divisor sums.…
Let \(\mathcal{P}(n)\) be the set of partitions of the positive integer \(n\). For \(\alpha=(\alpha_1,...,\alpha_t) \in \mathcal{P}(n)\) define the diagonal sequence \(\delta(\alpha)=(d_k(\alpha))_{k \geq 1}\) via \( d_k(\alpha) =…
The aim of this paper is to further study some properties and identities on the degenerate Fubini and the degenerate Bell polynomials which are degenerate versions of the Fubini and the Bell polynomials, respectively. Especially, we find…
First, we present a Bell type inequality for n qubits, assuming that m out of the n qubits are independent. Quantum mechanics violates this inequality by a ratio that increases exponentially with m. Hence an experiment on n qubits violating…
This paper introduces a novel generalization of Stirling and Lah numbers, termed ``heterogeneous Stirling numbers," which smoothly interpolate between these classical combinatorial sequences. Specifically, we define heterogeneous Stirling…
In this expository article, the real numbers are defined as infinite decimals. After defining an ordering relation and the arithmetic operations, it is shown that the set of real numbers is a complete ordered field. It is further shown that…
The Bell inequality is derived under the assumption of three physical data sets, random or deterministic. The data sets represent a laboratory realization of the three probability based variables used by Bell. For physical data as can be…
Given an ordered set partition, when one insert a number of bars in-between the blocks of the ordered set partition the result is a barred preferential arrangement. In this study, using the notion of barred preferential arrangements we…
In a series of papers, P. Blasiak et al. developed a wide-ranging generalization of Bell numbers (and of Stirling numbers of the second kind) that appears to be relevant to the so-called Boson normal ordering problem. They provided a…
The problem of counting derangements was initiated by Pierre Remonde de Motmort in 1708. A derangement is a permutation that has no fixed points and the derangement number Dn is the number of fixed point free permutations on an n element…
In the paper, the author finds an explicit formula for computing Bell numbers in terms of Lah numbers and Stirling numbers of the second kind.
