Identities behind some congruences for r-Bell and derangement polynomials
@inproceedings{Serafin2020IdentitiesBS, title={Identities behind some congruences for r-Bell and derangement polynomials}, author={Grzegorz Serafin}, year={2020} }
We derive new congruences bounding r-Bell and derangement polynomials, which generalize the existing ones, while the presented approach is significantly simpler and, at the same time, more informative. Namely, we provide precise identities that imply the congruences and explain somehow their nature.

The celebrated Touchard congruence states that Bn+p ≡ Bn + Bn+1 modulo p, where p is a prime number and Bn denotes the Bell number. In this paper we study divisibility properties of Bn−p and their…

We give the dual of Spivey’s recent formula for Bell numbers. The dual involves factorials and Stirling numbers of the first kind. We point out that Spivey’s formula immediately yields the famous…
