A short survey the game Bulgarian solitaire and related games
Romeo Meštrović
Let be an arbitrary positive integer and let be a partition of of length , i.e., with parts .…
The harmonic h-index: an impromevement of the Hirsch h-index and the Egghe g-index
Romeo Mestrovic
In order to characterize the scientific output of scientists, in this paper we define the harmonic har-index whose values are positive integers. It is proved that $h \leq har \leq…
How to estimate the total number of citations of a researcher using his h index and his h core?
Romeo Mestrovic, Branislav Dragovic
So far, many researchers have investigated the following question: Given total number of citations, what is the estimated range of the h index? Here we consider the converse questi…
Extensions of Egghe g-index: Improvements of Hirsch h-index
Romeo Mestrovic, Branislav Dragovic
A few new indices to characterize the scientific output of scientists are defined in the paper. These indices are compared with -index and its alternative indices using some proven…
Several generalizations and variations of Chu-Vandermonde identity
Romeo Meštrović
In this paper we prove some combinatorial identities which can be considered as generalizations and variations of remarkable Chu-Vandermonde identity. These identities are proved b…
Two curious inequalities involving different means of two arguments
Romeo Meštrović, Miomir Andjić
For two positive real numbers and let , , and be the harmonic mean, the geometric mean, the arithmetic mean and the quadratic mean of and , respectivel…
A primality criterion based on a Lucas' congruence
Romeo Mestrovic
Let be a prime. In 1878 É. Lucas proved that the congruence holds for any nonnegative integer . The converse st…
Variations of Lucas' Theorem Modulo Prime Powers
Romeo Mestrovic
Let be a prime, and let and be nonnegative integers such that , and and are both less than . K. Davis and W. Webb established that for a…
A search for primes such that Euler number is divisible by
Romeo Mestrovic
Let be a prime. Euler numbers first appeared in H. S. Vandiver's work (1940) in connection with the first case of Fermat Last Theorem. Vandiver proved that $x^p+y^p…
Wolstenholme's theorem: Its Generalizations and Extensions in the last hundred and fifty years (1862--2012)
Romeo Mestrovic
In 1862 Wolstenholme proved that for any prime the numerator of the fraction written in reduced form is divisible by , $(…
An Extension of a Congruence by Kohnen
Romeo Mestrovic
Let be a prime, and let be the Fermat quotient of to base 2. Recently, Z. H. Sun proved that \sum_{k=1}^{p-1}\frac{1}{k\cdot 2^k}\equiv q_p(2)-\fra…
Clarkson's type inequalities for positive sequences with
Romeo Mestrovic
For a fixed denote by the usual norm in the space (or ). In this paper we prove that for all real numbers and such that $2\l…
An Extension of a Congruence by Tauraso
Romeo Mestrovic
For a positive integer let be the th harmonic number. In this note we prove that for any prime , $$ \sum_{k=1}^{p-1}\frac{H_k}{k^2}\equiv \su…
Congruences for Wolstenholme primes
Romeo Mestrovic
A prime number is said to be a Wolstenholme prime if it satisfies the congruence . For such a prime , we establish the expre…
On the mod determination of : another proof of a conjecture by Sun
Romeo Mestrovic
For a positive integer let be the th harmonic number. Z. W. Sun conjectured that for any prime , $$ \sum_{k=1}^{p-1}\frac{H_k}{k\cdot 2^k} \e…
