The 2-adic valuations of differences of Stirling numbers of the second kind
Wei Zhao, Jianrong Zhao, Shaofang Hong
Let and be positive integers. Let be the 2-adic valuation of . By we denote the Stirling numbers of the second kind. In this paper, we first esta…
Divisibility by 2 of Stirling numbers of the second kind and their differences
Jianrong Zhao, Shaofang Hong, Wei Zhao
Let and be positive integers and be a nonnegative integer. Let and be the 2-adic valuation of and the sum of binary digits of , respectivel…
The 2-adic valuations of Stirling numbers of the second kind
Shaofang Hong, Jianrong Zhao, Wei Zhao
In this paper, we investigate the 2-adic valuations of the Stirling numbers of the second kind. We show that if and only if $i\not\equiv 7…
The universal Kummer congruences
Shaofang Hong, Jianrong Zhao, Wei Zhao
Let be a prime. In this paper, we present a detailed -adic analysis to factorials and double factorials and their congruences. We give good bounds for the -adic sizes of…
