Title: Congruences for Stirling numbers of the second kind
Author/Creator: Chan, O-Yeat; Manna, Dante
Institution: The University of Newcastle. Faculty of Science & Information Technology, School of Mathematical and Physical Sciences
Description: We characterize the Stirling numbers of the second kind S(n, k) modulo prime powers in terms of binomial coefficients. Our results are surprisingly simple when k is a multiple of the modulus.
