Extended Bernoulli and Stirling matrices and related combinatorial identities

In this paper we establish plenty of number theoretic and combinatoric identities involving generalized Bernoulli and Stirling numbers of both kinds. These formulas are deduced from Pascal type matrix representations of Bernoulli and Stirling numbers. For this we define and factorize a modified Pascal matrix corresponding to Bernoulli and Stirling cases.Comment: Accepted for publication in Linear Algebra and its Application

A note on degenerate Bell numbers and polynomials

Recently, several authors have studied the degenerate Bernoulli and Euler polynomials and given some intersting identities of those polynomials. In this paper, we consider the degenerate Bell numbers and polynomials and derive some new identities of those numbers and polynomials associated with special numbers and polynomials. In addition, we investigate some properties of the degenerate Bell polynomials which are derived by using the notion of composita. From our investigation, we give some new relations between the degenerate Bell polynomials and the special polynomials.Comment: 12 page

Generalized Stirling Numbers and Generalized Stirling Functions

Here presented is a unified approach to Stirling numbers and their generalizations as well as generalized Stirling functions by using generalized factorial functions, $k$-Gamma functions, and generalized divided difference. Previous well-known extensions of Stirling numbers due to Riordan, Carlitz, Howard, Charalambides-Koutras, Gould-Hopper, Hsu-Shiue, Tsylova Todorov, Ahuja-Enneking, and Stirling functions introduced by Butzer and Hauss, Butzer, Kilbas, and Trujilloet and others are included as particular cases of our generalization. Some basic properties related to our general pattern such as their recursive relations and generating functions are discussed. Three algorithms for calculating the Stirling numbers based on our generalization are also given, which include a comprehensive algorithm using the characterization of Riordan arrays.Comment: 26 pages, Presented on May 30, 2011, at City University of Hong Kong, International Conference on Asymptotics and Special Functions, 30 May - 03 June, 201

On umbral extensions of Stirling numbers and Dobinski-like formulas

Umbral extensions of the stirling numbers of the second kind are considered and the resulting dobinski-like various formulas including new ones are presented. These extensions naturally encompass the two well known q-extensions. The further consecutive umbral extensions q-stirling numbers are therefore realized here in a two-fold way. The fact that the umbral q-extended dobinski formula may also be interpreted as the average of powers of random variable with the q-poisson distribution singles out the q-extensions which appear to be a kind of singular point in the domain of umbral extensions as expressed by corresponding two observations. Other relevant possibilities are tackled with the paper`s closing down questions and suggestions with respect to other already existing extensions while a brief limited survey of these other type extensions is being delivered. There the newton interpolation formula and divided differences appear helpful and inevitable along with umbra symbolic language in describing properties of general exponential polynomials of touchard and their possible generalizations. Exponential structures or algebraically equivalent prefabs with their exponential formula appear to be also naturally relevant.Comment: 40 page

A note on type 2 Changhee and Daehee polynomials

In recent years, many authors have studied Changhee and Dae- hee polynomials in connection with many special numbers and polynomials. In this paper, we investigate type 2 Changhee and Daehee numbers and polynomials and give some identities for these numbers and polynomials in relation to type 2 Euler and Bernoulli numbers and polynomials. In addition, we express the central factorial numbers of the second kind in terms of type 2 Bernoulli, type 2 Changhee and type 2 Daehee numbers of negative integral orders.Comment: 10 page

Some identities of degeenrate ordered Bell polynomials and numbers arising from umbral calculus

Some relations of two type 2 polymomilas and discrete harmonic numbers and polynomials

The aim of this paper is twofold. The first one is to find several relations between the type 2 higher-order degenerate Euler polynomials and the type 2 higher-order Changhee polynomials in connection with the degenerate stirling numbers of both kinds and Jindalrae-stirling numbers of both kinds. The second one is to introduce the discrete harmonic numbers and some related polynomials and numbers, and to derive their explicit expressions and an identity.Comment: 12 page

The pp-adic Analysis of Stirling Numbers via Higher Order Bernoulli Numbers

In this paper, we use our previous study of the higher order Bernoulli numbers $B_n^{(l)}$ to investigate the $p$-adic properties of the Stirling numbers of the second kind $S(n,k)$. For example, we give a new, greatly simplified proof of the formula $\nu_2(S(2^h,k))=d_2(k)-1$ if $1\le k \le 2^h$, and generalize this result to arbitrary primes $p$. We also consider the Stirling numbers of the first kind $s(n,k)$, with new results analogous to those for the Stirling numbers of the second kind. New mod $p$ congruences for Stirling numbers of both kinds are also given.Comment: 22 pages, under consideration by the International Journal of Number Theory. A new unified method of studying Stirling numbers of both kinds is developed. and classical theorems for the prime $2$ have new, simpler proofs. The results are generalized to arbitrary primes, with essentially the same proof
