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

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
We give an easy proof of a recently published recurrence for the Bernoulli numbers and we present some applications of the recurrence. One of the applications is a simple proof of the well-known Staudt-Clausen Theorem. Proofs are also given for theorems of Carlitz. Frobenius, and Ramanujan. An analo
We found the asymptotics, p Γ , for the number of cycles for iteration of monomial functions in the fields of p-adic numbers. This asymptotics is closely connected with classical results on the distribution of prime numbers.
