Let R, represent the set of all rational numbers which are integral (mod m ) . We recall that a/b is integral (mod m) if m and b are relatively prime. If {a,L} is a sequence of numbers in R,, where p is a fixed rational prime, it is customary to say that a, satisfies KUMMER'S congruence when for al

In this paper, we find simple 2-adic congruences mod 2 [nΓ2]+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
The object of this paper is to present a systematic introduction to (and several interesting applications of) a general result on generating functions (associated with the Stirling numbers of the second kind) for a fairly wide variety of special functions and polynomials in one, two, and more variab
## Introduction. That every integrally closed subring of the field of algebraic numbers is a ring of quotients of its subring of algebraic integers is a remark of 131. The purpose of the present note is to prove this assertion without the hypothesis of integral closure (Theorem A). The proof rests
We prove congruences of shape E kΓΎh E k Γ E h Γ°mod NΓ modulo powers N of small prime numbers p; thereby refining the well-known Kummer-type congruences modulo these p of the normalized Eisenstein series E k : The method uses Serre's theory of Iwasawa functions and p-adic Eisenstein series; it presen
