Singmaster-type results for Stirling numbers and some related diophantine equations
Motivated by the work of David Singmaster, we study the number of times an
integer can appear among the Stirling numbers of both kinds. We provide an
upper bound for the occurrences of all the positive integers, and present
certain questions for further study. Some numerical results and conjectures
concerning the related diohantine equations are collected
On equal values of products and power sums of consecutive elements in an arithmetic progression
In this paper we study the Diophantine equation \begin{align*} b^k +
\left(a+b\right)^k + &\left(2a+b\right)^k + \ldots + \left(a\left(x-1\right) +
b\right)^k = \\ &y\left(y+c\right) \left(y+2c\right) \ldots \left(y+
\left(\ell-1\right)c\right), \end{align*} where are given
integers under natural conditions. We prove some effective results for special
values for and and obtain a general ineffective result based on
Bilu-Tichy method
On the coefficients of power sums of arithmetic progressions
We investigate the coefficients of the polynomial We prove that
these can be given in terms of Stirling numbers of the first kind and
-Whitney numbers of the second kind. Moreover, we prove a necessary and
sufficient condition for the integrity of these coefficients
