The Lucas congruence for Stirling numbers of the second kind

Roberto Sánchez-Peregrino (2000)

Acta Arithmetica

0. Introduction. The numbers introduced by Stirling in 1730 in his Methodus differentialis [11], subsequently called “Stirling numbers” of the first and second kind, are of the greatest utility in the calculus of finite differences, in number theory, in the summation of series, in the theory of algorithms, in the calculation of the Bernstein polynomials [9]. In this study, we demonstrate some properties of Stirling numbers of the second kind similar to those satisfied by binomial coefficients; in...

The monotone Poisson process

Alexander C. R. Belton (2006)

Banach Center Publications

The coefficients of the moments of the monotone Poisson law are shown to be a type of Stirling number of the first kind; certain combinatorial identities relating to these numbers are proved and a new derivation of the Cauchy transform of this law is given. An investigation is begun into the classical Azéma-type martingale which corresponds to the compensated monotone Poisson process; it is shown to have the chaotic-representation property and its sample paths are described.

The positivity problem for fourth order linear recurrence sequences is decidable

Pinthira Tangsupphathawat, Narong Punnim, Vichian Laohakosol (2012)

Colloquium Mathematicae

The problem whether each element of a sequence satisfying a fourth order linear recurrence with integer coefficients is nonnegative, referred to as the Positivity Problem for fourth order linear recurrence sequence, is shown to be decidable.
