An infinite sequence $\langle{u_n}\rangle_{n\in\mathbb{N}}$ of real numbers is holonomic (also known as P-recursive or P-finite) if it satisfies a linear recurrence relation with polynomial coefficients. Such a sequence is said to be…
For any $m,n\in\mathbb{N}$ we first give new proofs for the following well known combinatorial identities \begin{equation*} S_n(m)=\sum\limits_{k=1}^n\binom{n}{k}\frac{(-1)^{k-1}}{k^m}=\sum\limits_{n\geq r_1\geq r_2\geq...\geq r_m\geq…

We consider certain generalized binomial sums $\mathcal{S}_{(r,n)}(\ell)$ and discuss the nonintegrality of their values for integral parameters $n,r \geq 1$ and $\ell \in \mathbb{Z}$ in several cases using $p$-adic methods. In particular,…

We prove formulas for the Bernoulli numbers by using the Newton-Girard identities to evaluate the Riemann zeta function at positive even integers. To do this, we define a sequence of positive integers, a sequence of polynomials, and a…
We consider properties of binomial series $\sum_{n=0}^\infty a_n z^{\underline{n}}$, where $z^{\underline{n}}=z(z-1)\cdots(z-n+1)$ and the convergence of binomial series in the complex domain. The order of growth of entire and meromorphic…
P(n,s) denotes the number of permutations of 1,2,...n that have exactly s sequences. Canfield and Wilf [math.CO/0609704] recently showed that P(n,s) can be written as a sum of s polynomials in n. We determine these polynomials explicitly…
For any measure preserving system $(X,\mathcal{X},\mu,T)$ and $A\in\mathcal{X}$ with $\mu(A)>0$, we show that there exist infinitely many primes $p$ such that $\mu\bigl(A\cap T^{-(p-1)}A\cap T^{-2(p-1)}A\bigr) > 0$ (the same holds with…
