We discuss some problems in number theory posed by Djuro Kurepa (1907-1993), including his classical left factorial hypothesis that an odd prime $p$ does not divide $0! + 1! + ... + (p-1)!$.

Some remarks on Kurepa's left factorial
We establish a connection between the subfactorial function S(n) and the left factorial function of Kurepa K(n). Some elementary properties and congruences of both functions are described. Finally,Expand
Some considerations in connection with alternating Kurepa's function
In this paper, we consider the functional equation for alternating factorial sum and some of its particular solutions alternating Kurepa's function A(z) and function A 1(z). We determine an extensionExpand

Kurepa's conjecture states that there is no odd prime $p$ that divides $!p=0!+1!+\cdots+(p-1)!$. We search for a counterexample to this conjecture for all $p<2^{34}$. We introduce new optimizationExpand
The function v M m ( s ; a , z ) and some well-known sequences
In this paper we define the function vMm(s; a, z), and we study the special cases 1Mm(s; a, z) and nM−1(1; 1, n + 1). We prove some new equivalents of Kurepa’s hypothesis for the left factorial.Expand

The summation formula $$\sum^{n-1}_{i=0}\epsilon^i i! (i^k+u_k) = v_k+\epsilon^{n-1} n! A_{k-1}(n)$$ $(\epsilon=\pm 1; k=1,2,...; u_k, v_k\in \msbm\hbox{Z}; A_{k-1}$ is a polynomial) is derived andExpand
The Kurepa-Vandermonde matrices arising from Kurepa's left factorial hypothesis
Kurepa's (left factorial) hypothesis asserts that for each integer $n\ge 2$ the greatest common divisor of $!n:=\sum_{k=0}^{n-1}k!$ and $n!$ is $2$. It is known that Kurepa's hypothesis is equivalentExpand
