In this note we show a simple formula for the coefficients of the polynomial associated with the sums of powers of the terms of an arbitrary arithmetic progression. This formula consists of a double sum involving only ordinary binomial…

We study generalized sums of linear orders. These are binary operations that, given linear orders $A$ and $B$, return an order $A \oplus B$ that can be decomposed as an isomorphic copy of $A$ interleaved with a copy of $B$. We show that…

For each integer $m\ge3$, let $P_m(x)$ denote the generalized $m$-gonal number $\frac{(m-2)x^2-(m-4)x}{2}$ with $x\in\mathbb{Z}$. Given positive integers $a,b,c,k$ and an odd prime number $p$ with $p\nmid c$, we employ the theory of ternary…

In this paper, we study the combinatorial sum $$\sum_{k\equiv r(\mbox{mod }m)}{n\choose k}a^k.$$ By studying this sum, we obtain new congruences for Lucas quotients of two infinite families of Lucas sequences. Only for three Lucas…

In this paper we consider combinatorial numbers $C_{m, k}$ for $m\ge 1$ and $k\ge 0$ which unifies the entries of the Catalan triangles $ B_{n, k}$ and $ A_{n, k}$ for appropriate values of parameters $m$ and $k$, i.e., $B_{n,…

In this paper we initiate the study of products and sums divisible by central binomial coefficients. We show that 2(2n+1)binom(2n,n)| binom(6n,3n)binom(3n,n) for every n=1,2,3,... Also, for any nonnegative integers $k$ and $n$ we have…

In this paper, we study some combinations of the degenerate and incomplete Stirling numbers of the second kind. We use a combinatorial approach and provide some asymptotic results.

In this paper, we shall study A\'{e}ry-type series in which the central binomial coefficient appears as part of the summand. Let $b_n=4^n/\binom{2n}{n}$. Let $s_1,\dots,s_d$ be positive integers with $s_1\ge 2$. We consider the series…

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.

We compute the sum and the alternating sum of the reciprocals of triangular numbers using two standard methods from calculus: a telescoping series approach and a power series approach. We then extend these results to generalized…

We describe a classification of degree n complex coefficient polynomials with respect to combinatorial patterns that arise from the two real algebraic curves obtained as the zero sets for their real and imaginary part. In particular, we…

In terms of the derivative operator and three hypergeometric series identities, several interesting summation formulas involving generalized harmonic numbers are established.

In this work we prove a new combinatorial identity and applying it we establish many finite harmonic sum identities. Among many others, we prove that \begin{equation*}…

In the present article we introduce two new combinatorial interpretations of the $r$-Whitney numbers of the second kind obtained from the combinatorics of the differential operators associated to the grammar $G:=\{ y\rightarrow yx^{m},…

We give explicit evaluations of the linear and non-linear Euler sums of hyperharmonic numbers $h_{n}^{\left( r\right) }$ with reciprocal binomial coefficients. These evaluations enable us to extend closed form formula of Euler sums of…

Many combinatorial sequences (for example, the Catalan and Motzkin numbers) may be expressed as the constant term of $P(x)^k Q(x)$, for some Laurent polynomials $P(x)$ and $Q(x)$ in the variable $x$ with integer coefficients. Denoting such…

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…
