چکیده
In 2001 Luca proved that no Fermat number can be a nontrivial binomial coefficient. We extend this result to multinomial coefficients.

Unimodality Problems of Multinomial Coefficients and Symmetric Functions
In this note we consider unimodality problems of sequences of multinomial coefficients and symmetric functions. The results presented here generalize our early results for binomial coefficients. We also give an answer to a question of Sagan about strong q-log-concavity of certain sequences of symmetric functions, which can unify many known results for q-binomial coefficients and q-Stirling numb...
متن کاملMultivariate Rogers-Szegö polynomials and flags in finite vector spaces
We give a recursion for the multivariate Rogers-Szegö polynomials, along with another recursive functional equation, and apply them to compute special values. We also consider the sum of all q-multinomial coefficients of some fixed degree and length, and give a recursion for this sum which follows from the recursion of the multivariate Rogers-Szegö polynomials, and generalizes the recursion for...
متن کاملBaxter Algebras, Stirling Numbers and Partitions
Recent developments of Baxter algebras have lead to applications to combinatorics, number theory and mathematical physics. We relate Baxter algebras to Stirling numbers of the first kind and the second kind, partitions and multinomial coefficients. This allows us to apply congruences from number theory to obtain congruences in Baxter algebras.
متن کاملFamilies of Sequences From a Class of Multinomial Sums
In this paper we obtain formulas for certain sums of products involving multinomial coefficients and Fibonacci numbers. The sums studied here may be regarded as generalizations of the binomial transform of the sequence comprising the even-numbered terms of the Fibonacci sequence. The general formulas, involving both Fibonacci and Lucas numbers, give rise to infinite sequences that are parameter...
متن کاملFactors of the Gaussian coefficients
We present some simple observations on factors of the qbinomial coefficients, the q-Catalan numbers, and the q-multinomial coefficients. Writing the Gaussian coefficient with numerator n and denominator k in a form such that 2k ≤ n by the symmetry in k, we show that this coefficient has at least k factors. Some divisibility results of Andrews, Brunetti and Del Lungo are also discussed.
