In this paper, we establish the existence of moments and moment estimates for L\'evy-type processes. We discuss whether the existence of moments is a time dependent distributional property, give sufficient conditions for the existence of…

The connection between derivatives of $L(s,f)$ for periodic arithmetical functions $f$ at $s=1$ and generalized Stieltjes constants has been noted earlier. In this paper, we utilize this link to throw light on the arithmetic nature of…

Polytope numbers for a given polytope are an integer sequence defined by the combinatorics of the polytope. Recent work by H. K. Kim and J. Y. Lee has focused on writing polytope number sequences as sums of simplex number sequences. We…

We establish supercongruences for two kinds of Ap\'ery-like numbers, which involve Bernoulli numbers and Bernoulli polynomials. Conjectural supercongruences of the same type for another four kinds of Ap\'ery-like numbers are also proposed.

We show that the closure of the value set of a real linear recurrence sequence is the union of a countable set and a finite collection of intervals. Conversely, any finite collection of closed intervals is the closure of the value set of…

We define impulse response sequence in the set of all linear recurring sequences satisfying a linear recurrence relation of order $r$. The generating function and expression of the impulse response sequence are presented. Some identities of…

Regular sequences are natural generalisations of fixed points of constant-length substitutions on finite alphabets, that is, of automatic sequences. Using the harmonic analysis of measures associated with substitutions as motivation, we…

1 : We use properties of the Stern Sequence for numerical computations of moments $\int^1_0 t^n d?(t)$ associated to Minkowski's Question Mark function.

In 1978, Apery has given sequences of rational approximations to $\zeta(2)$ and $\zeta(3)$ yielding the irrationality of each of these numbers. One of the key ingredient of Apery's proof are second-order difference equations with polynomial…

Under very general conditions the hitting time of a set by a stochastic process is a stopping time. We give a new simple proof of this fact. The section theorems for optional and predictable sets are easy corollaries of the proof.

In this paper we introduce and investigate moment generating Stirling numbers of the first kind, "`MSN1"'. They are inverses of MSN2's, which make the representation of the moments for a lot of statistical distributions in closed formulas…

We give a very brief introduction to the machinery of spectral sequences, including the spectral sequence of a bicomplex. We then briefly introduce a generalisation of the spectral sequences of a bicomplex to the spectral sequences of…

Let $n, k$ and $a$ be positive integers. The Stirling numbers of the first kind, denoted by $s(n,k)$, count the number of permutations of $n$ elements with $k$ disjoint cycles. Let $p$ be a prime. In recent years, Lengyel, Komatsu and…

In this note, we show the existence of integer sequences of lengths at least 3 (except 7) such that for every integer in position $i\equiv 1\pmod{4}$ (respectively position $j\equiv 3\pmod{4}$), counting from left to right, the sum of the…

In this paper, we pose lots of challenging conjectures on congruences for the sums involving binomial coefficients and Ap\'ery-like numbers modulo $p^3$, where $p$ is an odd prime.

It is known that the $S(n,k)$ Stirling numbers as well as the ordered Stirling numbers $k!S(n,k)$ form log-concave sequences. Although in the first case there are many estimations about the mode, for the ordered Stirling numbers such…

In this paper we present many results and conjectures on congruences involving two types of Ap\'ery-like sequences $\{G_n(x)\}$ and $\{V_n(x)\}$.

A series of physically motivated operations appearing in the study of composite materials are interpreted in terms of elementary continued fraction transforms of matrix valued, rational Stieltjes functions.

Operators on probability distributions can be expressed as operators on the associated moment sequences, and so correspond to operators on integer sequences. Thus, there is an opportunity to apply each theory to the other. Moreover,…

In this paper, we mainly establish a congruence for a sum involving Ap\'{e}ry numbers, which was conjectured by Z.-W. Sun. Namely, for any prime $p>3$ and positive odd integer $m$, we prove that there is a $p$-adic integer $c_m$ only…
