Sums of products of Cauchy numbers

In this paper, we consider a kind of sums involving Cauchy numbers, which have not been studied in the literature. By means of the method of coefficients, we give some properties of the sums. We further derive some recurrence relations and establish a series of identities involving the sums, Stirling numbers, generalized Bernoulli numbers, generalized Euler numbers, Lah numbers, and harmonic numbers. In particular, we generalize some relations between two kinds of Cauchy numbers and some identities for Cauchy numbers and Stirling numbers.

2500年研究探寻相亲数

设σ(n)为n的所有正因子(包括1和n本身在内)之和.正整数对(m,n)被称之为相亲数(或双亲数,因为这种数总是成双成对出现的)如果他们满足 σ(m)=σ(n) = m + n.如果n=n, σ(m)=2m,则m被称之为完全数(或单亲数,因为这种数总是单独出现的).更一般的,如果κ个(κ＞2)正整数(m1,m2,…mmk)满足下列条件σ(m1)=m1+m2,σ(m2)=m2+m3,σ(mk)=mκ+m1.则这κ个正整数被称之为多亲数.第一对相亲数(220,284)是在2500年前的古希腊数学家毕达哥拉斯发现的.不过迄今为止,人们对相亲数的情况、尤其对相亲数的分布情况仍然知之甚少.与相亲数有关的难题、尤其是悬而未决千百年的难题还很多就是在今夭,我们仍然不知道是不是有无穷多对相亲数,我们甚至连一个生成相亲数的充分必要条件(定义除外)都没有.在这篇文章中,我们试图给出人类在2500年的漫长历史长河中研究、探寻相亲数的大致情况与重要结果,并着重介绍从古至今生成相亲数的各种数值方法与代数方法.完全数的研究探寻史几乎与相亲数的研究探寻史是一样长的.比如2350年前的古希腊数学家欧几理德就在其数学名著<几何原本>中列出了前四个完全数,不过迄今为止,人们总共也只找到39个完全数,并且这些完全数还都是偶完全数.至于有没有奇完全数的存在,则是一个悬而未决两千多年的著名数学难题.最早的两串多亲数(一串为5个.另一串为28个),则是由法国数学家Poulet于1918年发现的.多亲数的研究探寻史虽然比相亲数的研究探寻史要短得多,但目前人们对它们的注意力与日俱增.由于相亲数与完全数及多亲数密切相关、紧密相连(我们可以将其统一称之为亲和数,因为它们都与相关数的因子和有关),因此在本文中,我们除了要讨论介绍相亲数外,也将顺便介绍完全数与多亲数的研究与探寻简史、以及人们在研究探寻这些数时所获得的一些重要结果.附注截止2004年3月25日作者校勘清样时,人们已经发现了共40个完全数和6262871对相亲数.     

Introduction to Fibonacci and Lucas hybrinomials

ABSTRACT

The hybrid numbers are generalization of complex, hyperbolic and dual numbers. In this paper, we introduce and study the Fibonacci and Lucas hybrinomials, i.e. polynomials, which are a generalization of the Fibonacci hybrid numbers and the Lucas hybrid numbers, respectively.     

Shortened recurrence relations for Bernoulli numbers

Starting with two little-known results of Saalschütz, we derive a number of general recurrence relations for Bernoulli numbers. These relations involve an arbitrarily small number of terms and have Stirling numbers of both kinds as coefficients. As special cases we obtain explicit formulas for Bernoulli numbers, as well as several known identities.     

New convolutions for complete and elementary symmetric functions

In this paper, we give new relationships between complete and elementary symmetric functions. These results can be used to discover and prove some identities involving r-Whitney numbers, Jacobi–Stirling numbers, Bernoulli numbers and other numbers that are specializations of complete and elementary symmetric functions.     

Generalized harmonic numbers,Jacobi numbers and a Hankel determinant evaluation

In this paper we will introduce a sequence of complex numbers that are called the Jacobi numbers. This sequence generalizes in a natural way several sequences that are known in the literature, such as Catalan numbers, central binomial numbers, generalized catalan numbers, the coefficient of the Hilbert matrix and others. Subsequently, using a study of the polynomial of Jacobi, we give an evaluation of the Hankel determinants that associated with the sequence of Jacobi numbers. Finally, by finding a relationship between the Jacobi numbers and generalized harmonic numbers, we determine the evaluation of the Hankel determinants that are associated with generalized harmonic numbers.     

Yet another way of calculating moments of the Kesten's distribution and its consequences for Catalan numbers and Catalan triangles

We calculate moments of the so-called Kesten distribution by means of the expansion of the denominator of the density of this distribution and then integrate all summands with respect to the semicircle distribution. By comparing this expression with the formulae for the moments of Kesten's distribution obtained by other means, we find identities involving polynomials whose power coefficients are closely related to Catalan numbers, Catalan triangles, binomial coefficients. Finally, as applications of these identities we obtain various interesting relations between the aforementioned numbers, also concerning Lucas, Fibonacci and Fine numbers.     

On some polynomial values of repdigit numbers

We study the equal values of repdigit numbers and the k dimensional polygonal numbers. We state some effective finiteness theorems, and for small parameter values we completely solve the corresponding equations.     

Peters type polynomials and numbers and their generating functions: Approach with p‐adic integral method

The aim of this paper is to introduce and investigate some of the primary generalizations and unifications of the Peters polynomials and numbers by means of convenient generating functions and p‐adic integrals method. Various fundamental properties of these polynomials and numbers involving some explicit series and integral representations in terms of the generalized Stirling numbers, generalized harmonic sums, and some well‐known special numbers and polynomials are presented. By using p‐adic integrals, we construct generating functions for Peters type polynomials and numbers (Apostol‐type Peters numbers and polynomials). By using these functions with their partial derivative eqautions and functional equations, we derive many properties, relations, explicit formulas, and identities including the Apostol‐Bernoulli polynomials, the Apostol‐Euler polynomials, the Boole polynomials, the Bernoulli polynomials, and numbers of the second kind, generalized harmonic sums. A brief revealing and historical information for the Peters type polynomials are given. Some of the formulas given in this article are given critiques and comments between previously well‐known formulas. Finally, two open problems for interpolation functions for Apostol‐type Peters numbers and polynomials are revealed.     

Prime and composite numbers as integer parts of powers

We study prime and composite numbers in the sequence of integer parts of powers of a fixed real number. We first prove a result which implies that there is a transcendental number ξ>1 for which the numbers [ξ^{n !}], n =2,3, ..., are all prime. Then, following an idea of Huxley who did it for cubics, we construct Pisot numbers of arbitrary degree such that all integer parts of their powers are composite. Finally, we give an example of an explicit transcendental number ζ (obtained as the limit of a certain recurrent sequence) for which the sequence [ζⁿ], n =1,2,..., has infinitely many elements in an arbitrary integer arithmetical progression. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Degenerate Bernoulli polynomials, generalized factorial sums, and their applications

We prove a general symmetric identity involving the degenerate Bernoulli polynomials and sums of generalized falling factorials, which unifies several known identities for Bernoulli and degenerate Bernoulli numbers and polynomials. We use this identity to describe some combinatorial relations between these polynomials and generalized factorial sums. As further applications we derive several identities, recurrences, and congruences involving the Bernoulli numbers, degenerate Bernoulli numbers, generalized factorial sums, Stirling numbers of the first kind, Bernoulli numbers of higher order, and Bernoulli numbers of the second kind.

Arithmetical properties of hypergeometric Bernoulli numbers

In a recent paper, Byrnes et al. (2014) have developed some recurrence relations for the hypergeometric zeta functions. Moreover, the authors made two conjectures for arithmetical properties of the denominators of the reduced fraction of the hypergeometric Bernoulli numbers. In this paper, we prove these conjectures using some recurrence relations. Furthermore, we assert that the above properties hold for both Carlitz and Howard numbers.     

Weighted covering numbers of convex sets

In this paper we define the notions of weighted covering number and weighted separation number for convex sets, and compare them to the classical covering and separation numbers. This sheds new light on the equivalence of classical covering and separation. We also provide a formula for computing these numbers via a limit of classical covering numbers in higher dimensions.

Euler-Seidel method for certain combinatorial numbers and a new characterization of Fibonacci sequence

In this paper we use the Euler-Seidel method for deriving new identities for hyperharmonic and r-Stirling numbers. The exponential generating function is determined for hyperharmonic numbers, which result is a generalization of Gosper’s identity. A classification of second order recurrence sequences is also given with the help of this method.

Morse inequalities for the Koszul complex of multi-persistence

In this paper, we define the homological Morse numbers of a filtered cell complex in terms of relative homology of nested filtration pieces, and derive inequalities relating these numbers to the Betti tables of the multi-parameter persistence modules of the considered filtration. Using the Mayer-Vietoris spectral sequence we first obtain strong and weak Morse inequalities involving the above quantities, and then we improve the weak inequalities achieving a sharp lower bound for homological Morse numbers. Furthermore, we prove a sharp upper bound for homological Morse numbers, expressed again in terms of the Betti tables.
