相关论文: The Ap\'ery Numbers as a Stieltjes Moment Sequence
The main motivation for this article is to explore the connections between the existence of certain combinatorial patterns (as in van der Corputs's theorem on arithmetic progressions of length $3$) with well-known tools and theorems for…
In this paper we find an identity that gives a representation for the logarithm of any two irrational numbers $a, b >1$ in terms of a series whose terms are ratios of elements from the Beatty Sequences generated by these two numbers. We…
We prove some theorems which give sufficient conditions for the existence of prime numbers among the terms of a sequence which has pairwise relatively prime terms.
In this paper, we prove two conjectural supercongruences on the $(p-1)$th Ap\'ery number, which were recently proposed by Z.-H. Sun.
By using Schur transformed sequences and Dyukarev-Stieltjes parameters we obtain a new representation of the resolvent matrix corresponding to the truncated matricial Stieltjes moment problem. Explicit relations between orthogonal matrix…
The aim of this paper is to prove conjectures concerning $p$-adic valuations of Stirling numbers of the second kind $S(n,k)$, $n,k\in\mathbb{N}_+$, stated by Amdeberhan, Manna and Moll and Berrizbeitia et al., where $p$ is a prime number.…
We study the Ap\'ery set of good subsemigoups of $\mathbb N^2$, a class of semigroups containing the value semigroups of curve singularities with two branches. Even if this set in infinite, we show that, for the Ap\'ery set of such…
The Stern diatomic sequence is closely linked to continued fractions via the Gauss map on the unit interval, which in turn can be understood via systematic subdivisions of the unit interval. Higher dimensional analogues of continued…
Let w be a binary string and let a_w (n) be the number of occurrences of the word w in the binary expansion of n. As usual we let s(n) denote the Stern sequence; that is, s(0)=0, s(1)=1, and for n >= 1, s(2n)=s(n) and s(2n+1)=s(n)+s(n+1).…
One of the many remarkable properties of the Ap\'ery numbers $A (n)$, introduced in Ap\'ery's proof of the irrationality of $\zeta (3)$, is that they satisfy the two-term supercongruences \begin{equation*} A (p^r m) \equiv A (p^{r - 1} m)…
Associated to each random variable $Y$ having a finite moment generating function, we introduce a different generalization of the Stirling numbers of the second kind. Some characterizations and specific examples of such generalized numbers…
Extending earlier work of R. Donaghey and P. J. Cameron, we investigate some canonical "eigen-sequences" associated with transformations of integer sequences. Several known sequences appear in a new setting: for instance the sequences (such…
We prove that five ways to define entry A086377 in the On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences do lead to the same integer sequence.
This paper presents a number of identities for Dirichlet series and series with Stirling numbers of the first kind. As coefficients for the Dirichlet series we use Cauchy numbers of the first and second kinds, hyperharmonic numbers,…
The self-similar functions of zero spectral degree are defined. The singular points of these functions are investigated and full classification of points is given. The connection with spectral problems (Stieltjes string) is pointed out.
We propose sum rules for permutations $p_n(k)$ of the ensemble $\left\{1,2,\cdots,n\right\}$ with $k$ fixed points, in the form of partial sums of their moments. The corresponding identities involve Stirling numbers of the first kind…
Nilsequences arose in the study of the multiple ergodic averages associated to Furstenberg's proof of Szemer\'edi's Theorem and have since played a role in problems in additive combinatorics. Nilsequences are a generalization of almost…
We present new proofs for some summation identities involving Stirling numbers of both first and second kind. The two main identities show a connection between Stirling numbers and Bessel numbers. Our method is based on solving a particular…
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…
Orthogonal polynomials of several variables have a vector-valued three-term recurrence relation, much like the corresponding one-dimensional relation. This relation requires only knowledge of certain recurrence matrices, and allows simple…
