Using elementary methods, we determine the highest power of 2 dividing a power sum 1^n + 2^n + . . . + m^n, generalizing Lengyel's formula for the case where m is itself a power of 2. An application is a simple proof of Moree's result that,…

In this work, we study the generalized k-th power symbol (a/n)_k and present a comprehensive collection of its algebraic properties. The results are classified according to their dependence on the three main parameters a, n, and k. In…
Research on power values of power sums has gained much attention of late, partially due to the explosion of refinements in multiple advanced tools in (computational) Number Theory in recent years. In this survey, we present the key tools…
Let $\mathfrak{B}$ denote the collection of odd primitive Gaussian integers and $n\mapsto b(n)$ denote the characteristic function of elements of $\mathfrak{B}$. We prove that the exponential sum $ S(\alpha; N)=\sum_{n\le…
The powers of generating functions and its properties are analyzed. A new class of functions is introduced, based on the application of compositions of an integer $n$, called composita. The methods for obtaining reciprocal and reverse…
We transformed the generalized exponential power series to another functional form suitable for further analysis. By applying the Cauchy-Euler differential operator in the form of an exponential operator, the series became a sum of…
In this paper we give Kummer's original type congruence relation modulo a prime power for the universal Bernoulli numbers. Although the index of the power is half of original congruence, this estimate is best possible.
