SOME REMARKS ABOUT STIRLING NUMBERS OF THE SECOND KIND
In this paper we give a representation of Stirling numbers of the second kind, we obtain explicit formulas for some cases of Stirling numbers of the second kind and illustrate a method for founding other such formulas.

The Lucas congruence for Stirling numbers of the second kind [PDF]
Let \(\{{t \atop s}\}\) for not negative natural numbers \(t, s\) denote the Stirling number of the second kind. In the note under review the authors shows how to compute the Stirling number modulo \(p\) if one knows the \(p\)-adic expansions of \(s\) and \(t\).

Probabilistic Stirling Numbers of the Second Kind and Applications [PDF]
AbstractAssociated with each complex-valued random variable satisfying appropriate integrability conditions, we introduce a different generalization of the Stirling numbers of the second kind. Various equivalent definitions are provided. Attention, however, is focused on applications. Indeed, such numbers describe the moments of sums of i.i.d.

Probabilistic multi-Stirling numbers of the second kind associated with random variables [PDF]
This paper investigates a probabilistic extension of the multi-Stirling numbers of the second kind and a ‘poly' version of the probabilistic degenerate Lah-Bell polynomials.

A probabilistic generalization of the Stirling numbers of the second kind [PDF]
Associated to each random variable $Y$ having a finite moment generating function, we introduce a different generalization of the Stirling numbers of the second kind. Some characterizations and specific examples of such generalized numbers are provided.

On the Uniqueness Conjecture for the Maximum Stirling Numbers of the Second Kind [PDF]
The Stirling numbers of the second kind S(n, k) satisfy S(n, 0)<¿<S(n, kn)=S(n, kn+1)>¿>S(n, n).A long standing conjecture asserts that there exists no n= 3 such that S(n, kn) = S(n, kn+ 1). In this note, we give a characterization of this conjecture in terms of multinomial probabilities, as well as sufficient conditions on n ensuring that

On the 2-adic order of Stirling numbers of the second kind and their differences [PDF]
Let $n$ and $k$ be positive integers, $d(k)$ and $\nu_2(k)$ denote the number of ones in the binary representation of $k$ and the highest power of two dividing $k$, respectively.

Counting of finite topologies and a dissection of Stirling numbers of the second kind [PDF]
Certain new combinatorial numbers which arise in the counting of finite topologies are introduced and formulae obtained. These numbers are used to obtain a known formula for tn, the number of labelled topologies on n points in terms of the Stirling numbers S(n, p) and dn, the number of labelled T0-topologies on n points. The numbers dn are computed for
