λ-Analogues of Stirling polynomials of the first kind and their applications
Journal of Inequalities and Applications, 2019 Recently, λ-analogues of Stirling numbers of the first kind were studied. In this paper, we introduce, as natural extensions of these numbers, λ-Stirling polynomials of the first kind and r-truncated λ-Stirling polynomials of the first kind.

On stirling numbers of the second kind
Journal of Combinatorial Theory, 1969 AbstractWe first find inequalities between the Stirling numbers S(n, r) for fixed n, then introduce functions L and U such that L(n, r)≤S(n, r)≤U(n, r), and finally obtain the asymptotic value n/log n for the value of r for which S(n, r) is maximal.

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We are interested in investigating whether firms use political donations as a license to neglect environmental sustainability. We further deepen the examination by exploring the role of executive contracting. Drawing on a wide range of data between 2002 and 2021 and a global sample, our findings confirm that firms use political contributions ...

Asymptotic Estimates for Second Kind Generalized Stirling Numbers
Journal of Applied Mathematics, 2013 Asymptotic formulas for the generalized Stirling numbers of the second kind with integer and real parameters are obtained and ranges of validity of the formulas are established.

On a Recurrence involving Stirling Numbers
European Journal of Combinatorics, 1984 Let \(Z(n)=\sum^{n-1}_{k=1}S(n,k) Z(k)\), where S(n,k) denotes the Stirling numbers of the second kind. The author proves the asymptotic order of magnitude of Z(n), i.e. \(c_ 1\leq Z(n)/f(n)\leq c_ 2\) where \(c_ 1\), \(c_ 2\) are positive constants, and \(f(n)=(n!)^ 2(n \log 2)^{-n} n^{-1-(\log 2)/3}.\)
