Congruences ofp-adic Integer Order Bernoulli Numbers

Congruences concerning Bernoulli numbers and Bernoulli polynomials

Let {Bn(x)} denote Bernoulli polynomials. In this paper we generalize Kummer’s congruences by determining Bk(p−1)+b(x)=(k(p − 1) + b) (modp), where p is an odd prime, x is a p-integral rational number and p − 1 b. As applications we obtain explicit formulae for ∑p−1 x=1 (1=x ) (modp ); ∑(p−1)=2 x=1 (1=x ) (modp ); (p − 1)! (modp ) and Ar(m;p) (modp), where k ∈ {1; 2; : : : ; p− 1} and Ar(m;p) i...

Congruences and Recurrences for Bernoulli Numbers of Higher Order

In particular, B^\0) = B^\ the Bernoulli number of order k, and BJp = Bn, the ordinary Bernoulli number. Note also that B^ = 0 for n > 0. The polynomials B^\z) and the numbers B^ were first defined and studied by Niels Norlund in the 1920s; later they were the subject of many papers by L. Carlitz and others. For the past twenty-five years not much has been done with them, although recently the ...

Congruences involving Bernoulli and Euler numbers

Let [x] be the integral part of x. Let p > 5 be a prime. In the paper we mainly determine P[p/4] x=1 1 xk (mod p2), p−1 [p/4] (mod p3), Pp−1 k=1 2 k (mod p3) and Pp−1 k=1 2 k2 (mod p2) in terms of Euler and Bernoulli numbers. For example, we have

General Congruences Involving the Bernoulli Numbers.

I The seed used was kindly supplied by the California Packing Corporation. 6 The assays for p-amino benzoic acid were carried out by Prof. G. W. Beadle and Prof. E. Tatum, Stanford University, using a mutant of Neurospora crassa for which p-amino benzoic acid is an essential supplement. 7In 5. experiments sulfanilamide or its derivatives were applied to intact tomato plants grown in the greenho...
