A $k$-modal sequence is a sequence of real numbers that can be partitioned into $k+1$ (possibly empty) monotone sections such that adjacent sections have opposite monotonicities. For every positive integer $k$, we prove that any sequence of…
An technically interesting proof of a known theorem.
Suppose $A\subset \mathbb{R}$ of size $k$ has distinct consecutive $r$--differences, that is for $1 \leq i \leq k -r$, the $r$--tuples $$(a_{i+1} - a_i , \ldots , a_{i+r} - a_{i + r -1})$$ are distinct. Then for any finite $B \subset…
Les nombres r\'eels ou complexes forment un ensemble ayant la puissance du continu. Parmi eux, ceux qui sont int\'eressants, qui apparaissent naturellement, qui m\'eritent notre attention, forment un ensemble d\'enombrable. Dans cet \'etat…
Some new integrals involving the Stieltjes constants are developed in this paper.
We explore the notion of degree of asymmetry for integer sequences and related combinatorial objects. The degree of asymmetry is a new combinatorial statistic that measures how far an object is from being symmetric. We define this notion…
In many everyday categories (sets, spaces, modules, ...) objects can be both added and multiplied. The arithmetic of such objects is a challenge because there is usually no subtraction. We prove a family of cases of the following principle:…
This paper gives via Stieltjes transform a complete description of the solution set of a matricial truncated Stieltjes-type power moment problem in the non-degenerate and degenerate cases. The approach is based on the Schur type algorithm…
For each of the $15$ known sporadic Ap\'ery-like sequences, we prove congruences modulo $p^2$ that are natural extensions of the Lucas congruences modulo $p$. This extends a result of Gessel for the numbers used by Ap\'ery in his proof of…
Based on Euclid's algorithm, we find a kind of special sequences which play an interesting role in the study of primes. We call them W Sequences. They not only ties up the distribution of primes in short interval but also enables us to give…
Scattered sequences are a generalization of scattered polynomials. So far, only scattered sequences of order one and two have been constructed. In this paper an infinite family of scattered sequences of order three is obtained. Equivalence…
Associated to each complex-valued random variable satisfying appropriate integrability conditions, we introduce a different generalization of the Stirling numbers of the second kind. Various equivalent definitions are provided. Attention,…
Assume that the moment generating function of the random vari able Y exists in a neighborhood of the origin. We introduce the probabilistic multi-Stirling numbers of the second kind associated with Y and the proba bilistic multi-Lah numbers…
Since more than three centuries Kepler's equation continues to represents an important benchmark for testing new computational techniques. In the present paper, the classical Kapteyn series solution of Kepler's equation originally conceived…
The paperfolding sequences form an uncountable class of infinite sequences over the alphabet $\{ -1, 1 \}$ that describe the sequence of folds arising from iterated folding of a piece of paper, followed by unfolding. In this note we observe…
In this note we introduce several instructive examples of bijections found between several different combinatorially defined sequences of sets. Each sequence has cardinalities given by the Catalan numbers. Our results answer some questions…
Let Y be a random variable whose moment generating function exists in a neighborhood of the origin. Recently, probabilistic Stirling numbers of the first kind and of the second kind associated with Y have been introduced. However,…
We provide several simple recursive formulae for the moment sequence of infinite Bernoulli convolution. We relate moments of one infinite Bernoulli convolution with others having different but related parameters. We give examples relating…
For $n=0,1,2,\ldots$ let $W_n=\sum_{k=0}^{[n/3]}\binom{2k}k \binom{3k}k\binom n{3k}(-3)^{n-3k}$, where $[x]$ is the greatest integer not exceeding $x$. Then $\{W_n\}$ is an Ap\'ery-like sequence. In this paper we deduce many congruences…
We study the process of integration on time scales in the sense of Riemann-Stieltjes. Analogues of the classical properties are proved for a generic time scale, and examples are given.
