While examples of Ramanujan-type congruences are amply available via their relation to Hecke operators, it remains unclear which of them should be considered of combinatorial origin and which of them are mere artifacts of the connection…

In this paper we study recurrences concerning the combinatorial sum $[n,r]_m=\sum_{k\equiv r (mod m)}\binom {n}{k}$ and the alternate sum $\sum_{k\equiv r (mod m)}(-1)^{(k-r)/m}\binom{n}{k}$, where m>0, $n\ge 0$ and r are integers. For…

We examine the rationality conjecture which states that (a) the formal power series $\sum_{r\ge 1} \tc_{r+1}(X)\cdot x^r$ represents a rational function of $x$ with a single pole of order 2 at $x=1$ and (b) the leading coefficient of the…

We prove that every integer $n \geq 10$ such that $n \not\equiv 1 \text{mod} 4$ can be written as the sum of the square of a prime and a square-free number. This makes explicit a theorem of Erd\H{o}s that every sufficiently large integer of…
