We use properties of p-adic integrals and measures to obtain congruences for higher-order Bernoulli and Euler numbers and polynomials, as well as for certain generalizations and for Stirling numbers of the second kind. These congruences are analogues and generalizations of the usual Kummer congruenc

✦ Synopsis
Let B m be the mth Bernoulli number in the even suffix notation and let q(a, n)=(a j(n) -1)/n be the Fermat-Euler quotient, where a, n \ 2 are relatively prime positive integers and j is the Euler totient function. The main purpose of this paper is to devise a certain congruence involving the Bernoulli number and Fermat-Euler quotient, which leads to several important arithmetic properties of Bernoulli numbers.

We define higher or arbitrary order universal Bernoulli numbers and higher order universal Bernoulli Hurwitz numbers. We deduce a universal first-order Kummer congruence and a congruence for the higher order universal Bernoulli Hurwitz numbers from Clarke's universal von Staudt theorem. We also esta

In this paper, we find simple 2-adic congruences mod 2 [nÂ2]+1 for the No rlund numbers B (n) n and for the Bernoulli numbers of the second kind b n . These congruences improve F. T. Howard's mod 8 congruences (in ``Applications of Fibonacci Numbers, '' Vol. 5, pp. 355 366, Kluwer Academic, Dordrech
