On Sums Related to Central Binomial and Trinomial Coefficients
نویسنده
چکیده
A generalized central trinomial coefficient Tn(b, c) is the coefficient of x in the expansion of (x+bx+c) with b, c ∈ Z. In this paper we investigate congruences and series for sums of terms related to central binomial coefficients and generalized central trinomial coefficients. The paper contains many conjectures on congruences related to representations of primes by certain binary quadratic forms, and 62 proposed new series for 1/π motivated by congruences and related dualities.

Some Congruences Involving Binomial Coefficients
Binomial coefficients and central trinomial coefficients play important roles in combinatorics. Let p > 3 be a prime. We show that Tp−1 ≡ (p 3 ) 3p−1 (mod p), where the central trinomial coefficient Tn is the constant term in the expansion of (1 + x + x−1)n. We also prove three congruences modulo p conjectured by Sun, one of which is p−1 ∑ k=0 ( p− 1 k )( 2k k ) ((−1) − (−3)−k) ≡ (p 3 ) (3p−1 −...
متن کاملQ-trinomial Identities
We obtain connection coefficients between q-binomial and q-trinomial coefficients. Using these, one can transform q-binomial identities into a q-trinomial identities and back again. To demonstrate the usefulness of this procedure we rederive some known trinomial identities related to partition theory and prove many of the conjectures of Berkovich, McCoy and Pearce, which have recently arisen in...
متن کاملOn Divisibility concerning Binomial Coefficients
Binomial coefficients arise naturally in combinatorics. Recently the speaker initiated the study of certain divisibility properties of binomial coefficients, and products or sums of binomial coefficients. In this talk we introduce the speaker’s related results and various conjectures. The materials come from the author’s two preprints: 1. Z. W. Sun, Products and sums divisible by central binomi...
متن کاملCertain Sums Involving Inverses of Binomial Coefficients and Some Integrals
In this paper, we are concerned with sums involving inverses of binomial coefficients. We study certain sums involving reciprocals of binomial coefficients by using some integrals. Some recurrence relations related to inverses of binomial coefficients are obtained. In addition, we give the approximate values of certain sums involving the inverses of binomial coefficients.
متن کاملSums of Reciprocals of the Central Binomial Coefficients
We consider a set of combinatorial sums involving the reciprocals of the central binomial coefficients and try to solve (or close) them by means of generating functions. We obtain a number of results for infinite sums, in some of which the golden ratio φ appears. Besides, we close some finite sums by applying the method of coefficients to the generating functions previously obtained.
