On Stanley's partition function.
Let p be an odd prime and let a be a positive integer. In this paper we investigate the sum , where h and m are p-adic integers with m ≢ 0 (mod p). For example, we show that if h ≢ 0 (mod p) and , then , where (·/·) denotes the Jacobi symbol. Here is another remarkable congruence: If then .
Recent model of lifetime after a heart attack involves some integer coefficients. Our goal is to get these coefficients in simple way and transparent form. To this aim we construct a schema according to a rule which combines the ideas used in the Pascal triangle and the generalized Fibonacci and Lucas numbers
