Pascal matrices and Stirling numbers

Stirling Numbers and Generalized Zagreb Indices

We show how generalized Zagreb indices $M_1^k(G)$ can be computed by using a simple graph polynomial and Stirling numbers of the second kind. In that way we explain and clarify the meaning of a triangle of numbers used to establish the same result in an earlier reference.

Pascal Matrices

Every polynomial of degree n has n roots; every continuous function on [0, 1] attains its maximum; every real symmetric matrix has a complete set of orthonormal eigenvectors. “General theorems” are a big part of the mathematics we know. We can hardly resist the urge to generalize further! Remove hypotheses, make the theorem tighter and more difficult, include more functions, move into Hilbert s...

Congruences on Stirling Numbers and Eulerian Numbers

In this paper, we establish some Fleck-Weisman type congruences for the Stirling numbers and the Eulerian numbers.

Multi-Restrained Stirling Numbers

Given positive integers n, k, and m, the (n, k)-th mrestrained Stirling number of the first kind is the number of permutations of an n-set with k disjoint cycles of length ≤ m. Inverting the matrix consisting of the (n, k)-th m-restrained Stirling number of the first kind as the (n+1, k +1)-th entry, the (n, k)-th m-restrained Stirling number of the second kind is defined. In this paper, the mu...
