In the present paper we prove some interesting congruences for central factorial numbers. Keywords: Central factorial numbers of the first kind, Central factorial numbers of the second kind, Congruence, Stirling numbers Mathematics Subject Classification: 11B68, 11B73, 05A10, 11B83 Introduction and definitions Central factorial numbers are more closely related to the Stirling numbers than the other well-known special numbers, such as Bernoulli numbers, Euler numbers, trigonometric functions and their inverses. Properties of these numbers have been studied in different perspectives see Butzer et al. 1989; Comtet 1974; Liu 2011; Merca 2012; Riordan Central factorial numbers play a major role in a variety of branches of mathematics see Butzer et al. 1989; Chang and Ha 2009; Vogt 1989: to finite difference calculus, to approximation theory, to numerical analysis, to interpolation theory, in particular to Voronovskaja and Komleva-type expansions of trigonometric convolution integrals. The central factorial numbers tn, k k Z of the first kind and Tn, k k Z of the second kind are given by the following expansion formulas see Butzer et al. 1989; Liu 2011; Riordan 1968 n x [n] tn, kx k k0 1 and n x n Tn, kx [k], k0 2 respectively, where x [n] xx + n 2 1x + n 2 2 x + n 2 n + 1, n N 0 : N {0}, N being the set of positive integers, Z being the set of integers Wang and Liu.

In Congruences for Tap m 1 p 1 + r, k modulo powers of prime p section, some congruence relations for Tap m 1 p 1 + r, k modulo powers of prime p are established. For a is odd, m, k N and k 2 m 1 a, we prove that { k!t2 m 1 2 k 1 mod 2 a, k m, k 0 mod 4, 2 k 1 mod 2 m, k 2 mod 4. For p is odd prime, m, a, k N, r N 0, k p 1 and r < p m 1 p 1, in Congruences for Tap m 1 p 1 + r, k modulo powers of prime p section we also show that Tap m 1 p 1 + r, k Tr, k mod p m, 1 r < p m 1 p 1
3 Page 3 of 14 and k!tap m 1 p 1, k 1 k 2 +1 k k 2 mod p m, k is even. In Congruences for t2ap m,2k and T2n,2ap m modulo powers of p section, congruences on t2ap m,2k and T2n,2ap m modulo powers of p are derived. Moreover, the following results are obtained: 1 for a, k, m N, b N 0 and 2 m 1 a k 2 m a, we prove a congruence for t2 m+1 a + 2b,2k mod 2 m ; 2 for a, n, m N, b N 0 and n 2 m a, we prove a congruence for T2n,2 m+1 a + 2b mod 2 m ; 3 for p is a odd prime number and a, k, m N, b N 0, we deduce a congruence for t2ap m + 2b,2k mod p m ; 4 for p is a odd prime number, a, n, m N, b N 0, we deduce a congruence for T2n,2ap m + 2b mod p m. Congruences for Tap m 1 p 1 + r, k modulo powers of prime p Theorem 1 For a is odd, m, k N and k 2 m 1 a, we have k!t2 m 1 a, k { 2 k 1 mod 2 m, k 0 mod 4, 2 k 1 mod 2 m, k 2 mod Proof Using Euler s Theorem, ϕ2 m 2 m 1. Therefore, by Fermat s Little Theorem, we get c ϕ2m c 2m 1 1 mod 2 m if c is odd. Observe that, when c is even, c 2m 1 0 mod 2 m. Then by 7, if k 0 mod 4, we yield k!t2 m 1 a, k i0 If k 2 mod 4, we have k k 2 m 1 1 i a i 2 i This completes the proof of Theorem 1. k!t2 m 1 a, k, i odd 1 i k i 2 k 1 mod 2 m. k k 2 m 1 1 i a i 2 i i0 i0, i even 1 i k i 2 k 1 mod 2 m.
4 Page 4 of 14 Remark By Theorem 1 and 5, we readily get k!t2 m 1 a + 2, k { k 2 k 3 mod 2 m, k 0 mod 4, k 2 k 3 mod 2 m, k 2 mod Theorem 2 For p is odd prime, m, a, k N, r N 0, k p 1 and r < p m 1 p 1, we have T ap m 1 p 1 + r, k Tr, k mod p m, 1 r < p m 1 p 1, 12 k!t ap m 1 p 1, k 1 k k 2 +1 k2 mod p m, k is even. 13 Proof By Euler s Theorem and Fermat s Little Theorem, we get a ϕpm a pm 1 1 mod p m if a, p 1, where a, p is the greatest common factor of a and p. Then by 7 and noting that k 2i, p 1, we get k!t ap m 1 p 1 + r, k k k ap m 1 1 i +r i 2 i i0 k k r 1 i i 2 i Observe that k!, p 1. Hence, T ap m 1 p 1 + r, k Tr, k mod p m. i0 k!tr, k mod p m. The proof of 12 is complete. If r 0, then k is even. Therefore, k!t ap m 1 p 1, k k k ap m 1 1 i i 2 i i0 k 1 i 1 k k 2 k i 2 i0 1 k 2 +1 k k 2 mod p m. The proof of 13 is complete. This completes the proof of Theorem 2. As a direct consequence of Theorem 2, we have the following corollary. Corollary 3 For p is odd prime, a, k N and r N 0, we have Tap 1 + r, p { 0 mod p, 3 r p 2, 1 mod p, r 1. 14

Proof By setting m 1 in 12 and using 5, we have Tap 1 + r, p Tap 1 + r 2, p 2 Tr 2, p 2 0 mod p, 3 r p 2, Tap 1 + 1, p Tap 1 1, p 2 Tp 2, p 2 1 The proof of 14 is complete. Setting m 1 and k p 1 in 12, we can readily get Tap 1 + r, p 1 0 Setting m 1 and k p 1 in 13, and noting that 1 j j 1 mod p j 0, 1, 2,..., p 1, p 1! 1 mod p, we have Tap 1, p 1 1 The proof of 15 is complete. If m 1 and a r in 12, then Trp, k Tr, k 18 Taking r 1, 2 in 18 and using 5, we immediately get 16 and 17. This completes the proof of Corollary 3. Congruences for t2ap m,2k and T2n,2ap m modulo powers of p To establish the main results in this section, we need to introduce the following lemmas. Lemma 4 If m N, then 2 m 1 1 2i 1x 2 1 x 2 2m 1 mod 2 m, 2 m 1 1 2ix 2 1 mod 2 m Proof We prove this lemma by induction on m. We see that 19 is true for m 1. Assume that it is true for m 1, 2,..., j 1. Then

For any polynomials Ax, Bx, we have Ax Bx mod 2 m Ax 2 Bx 2 mod 2 m+1, so we obtain the desired result. That is, 2 j 2 j 1 1 2i 1x 2 1 2i 1x 2 The proof of 19 is complete. Similarly, we can prove 20 as follows. 2 1 x 2 2j mod 2 j+1. 2 j 1 2ix 2 2 j 1 1 2ix j + 2ix 2 2 j 1 [ 1 2ix j+1 x 2 2 j 1 + 2i1 2ix 2] 2 j 1 1 2ix 2 1 mod 2 j+1. 2 mod 2 j+1 This completes the proof of Lemma 4. Similarly, we can get the following results. Lemma 5 If m N, then 2 m 1 2 m 1 x 2 2i 1 2 x 2 1 2m 1 mod 2 m, x 2 2i 2 x 2m mod 2 m. We are now ready to state the following theorems
7 Page 7 of 14 Theorem 6 Let a, b, k, m N and 2 m 1 a k 2 m a, then t2 m+1 a,2k 1 k 2m 1 a 2 m 1 a k 2 m 1 a mod 2 m, 23 t2 m+1 a + 2b,2k t2 m+1 a,2jt2b,2k 2j mod 2 m. j1 24 Proof By 4 and Lemma 5, we find that 2 m a t2 m+1 a,2kx 2k 2 x 2 2 m a 2 x x 2 2 m a 1 2 x 2 2 m a 2. Thus 2 m a 2 m t 2 m+1 a,2k x 2k x 2 i 2 2 m 1 a x 2 2i 1 2 x 2 m 1 a 1 x 2 m a 2 m 1 a k0 2 m a k2 m 1 a 1 k 2 m 1 a k x 2 2i 2 2 2m 1 x 2m a+2k 2 1 k m 1 a k 2 m 1 x 2k mod 2 m. a a This completes the proof of 23. For 24, we can prove this as follows. 2 m a+b t 2 m+1 a + 2b,2k x 2k 2 x x 2 2 m a 2 x 2 2 m a x 2 2 m a + b 1 2 x x 2 2 m a 2 x x 2 b m a b t 2 m+1 a,2k x 2k t2b,2kx 2k 2 2 m a+b k2 j1 t 2 m+1 a,2j t 2b,2k 2j x 2k 2 mod 2 m. This completes the proof of Theorem 6.
8 Page 8 of 14 Remark t Taking a 1 and k 2 m 1,2 m 1 + 1, 2 m in 23, we readily get t 2 m+1,2 m 1 mod 2 m, 2 m+1,2 m m 1 mod 2 m, t 2 m+1,2 m m 2 mod 2 m, m 3. Theorem 7 Let a, b, n, m N and n 2 m a, then n 2 T 2n,2 m+1 m 1 a 1 a n 2 m a mod 2 m, 25 T 2n,2 m+1 a + 2b n j0 T 2j,2 m+1 a T2n 2j,2b mod 2 m. 26 Proof By 6 and Lemma 4, we have 2 m a T 2n,2 m+1 a x 2n x 2 1 ix 2 2 m a x 2 1 ix 2 x 2m+1 a 1 2 m 1 1 2i 1x2 2 m 1 1 2i2 x 2m+1 a 1 1 x 2 2m 1 a n + 2 m 1 a 1 n n 2 m 1 a 1 n 2 m a n2 m a x 2m+1 a+2n x 2n mod 2 m. This completes the proof of 25. For 26, we can prove this as follows. 2 m a+b T 2n,2 m+1 a + 2b x 2n x 2 1 ix 2 2 m a x 2 b 1 ix 2 x 2 1 ix 2 T 2n,2 m+1 a x 2n T2n,2bx 2n n j0 a T 2j,2 m+1 a T2n 2j,2bx 2n mod 2 m.
9 Page 9 of 14 This completes the proof of Theorem 7. Remark Taking a 1 and n 2 m + 1, 2 m + 2 in 25, we readily get T 2 m+1 + 2, 2 m+1 2 m 1 mod 2 m, T 2 m+1 + 4, 2 m+1 2 m 2 mod 2 m, m 3. Lemma 8 If p is a odd prime number and m N, then p m 1 ix 2 1 x 2p m 1 mod p m. 27 Proof Apparently, by Lagrange congruence, we have 1 x1 2x 1 p 1x1 px 1 x mod p and 1 + x1 + 2x 1 + p 1x1 + px 1 x Thus 1 x 2 1 2x 2 1 px 2 1 x 2 Hence 27 is true for the case m 1. Suppose that 27 is true for some m 1. Then for the case m + 1, p m+1 1 ix 2 p m p m 1 ix 2 1 p m + ix 2 1 2p m + ix 2 1 p 1p m + ix 2 1 ix 2 p 1 ix 2 jp m 2 + 2jp m ix j1 + terms involving powers of p 2m and higher ]. For any prime p and polynomials Ax, Bx, we have Ax Bx mod p m. This implies that Ax p Bx p mod p m+1. With j1 jpm 2 + 2jp m ix 0 mod p m+1, we obtain the desired result. That is, p m+1 1 ix 2 p m 1 ix 2 This completes the proof of Lemma 8. p 1 x 2p m mod p m+1.
10 Page 10 of 14 Similarly, we get the following results. Lemma 9 If p is a odd prime number and m N, then p m Theorem 10 x 2 i 2 x p x 2pm 1 mod p m. Let p is a odd prime number and a, b, k, m N, then t2ap m,2k 1 2k 2apm 1 2ap m 1 2k 2ap m 1 mod p m, t2ap m + 2b,2k t2ap m,2jt2b,2k 2j mod p m, j1 30 where 2k 2ap m 1 mod p 1. Proof By 4 and Lemma 9, we find that ap m t2ap m,2kx 2k 2 x 2 ap m 2 x x 2 ap m 1 2 x 2 ap m 2. Thus ap m t2ap m,2kx 2k p m x 2 i 2 x p x 2apm 1 2ap m 1 k0 ap m where 2k 2ap m 1 mod p 1. This completes the proof of 29. By 4 we get ap m +b a 1 k 2ap m 1 kap m 1 1 t2ap m + 2b,2kx 2k 2 k x 2apm 1 +k 2k 2ap m 1 2ap m 1 2k 2ap m 1 x 2k mod p m, x x 2 ap m 2 x 2 ap m x 2 ap m + b 1 2 x x 2 ap m 2 x x 2 b 1 2 ap m t2ap m,2kx 2k ap m +b k2 b t2b,2kx 2k 2 t2ap m,2jt2b,2k 2jx 2k 2 mod p m. j1
11 Page 11 of 14 This completes the proof of Theorem 10. Remark Taking a 1 and 2k 2p m 1,2p m 1 + p 1,2p m 1 + 2p 1 in 29, we readily get t2p m,2p m 1 1 mod p m, t2p m,2p m 1 + p 1 2p m 1 mod p m, t2p m,2p m 1 + 2p 1 2p 2m 2 p m 1 mod p m Obviously, t2p,2 1 mod p, 34 t2p, p If u, v N,1 u < 2p v. By setting m 1, a p v,2k 2p v + up 1 in 29, and noting that p j 1 mod p j 0, 1, 2,..., p 1 with ip+r jp+s i r j s mod p i j, we have 2p t2p v+1,2p v + up 1 1 u v 0 36 u The following corollary is a direct consequence of Theorem 10. Corollary 11 Let p be a odd prime and α be a positive integer. Then for any 1 k p α p 1, we have tp α p 1,2k { 1 mod p, 2k 0 mod p α 1 p 1, 0 mod p, otherwise. 37 Proof Let m 1, 2a p α 1 p 1 in 29 of Theorem 10. Then we have p α 2 tp α p 1,2kx 2k p α 1 j0 p 1 j α 1 p 1 j x pα 1 +j By the Lucas congruence, we obtain p α 1 p 1 p 1 j mod p, j 0 mod p α 1, j p α 1 0 mod p, otherwise. With p 1 1 j 1 j mod p j 0, 1, 2,..., p 1,
12 Page 12 of 14 we can deduce p α 2 tp α p 1,2kx 2k j0 p j1 p j1 1 j p α 1 p 1 p α 1 j p 1 1 j 1 j 1 x pα 1 j which is obviously equivalent to 37. The following theorem includes the congruence relations for T2n,2ap m and T2n,2ap m + 2b. x pα 1 j+1 x pα 1 j mod p, Theorem 12 If p is a odd prime number, a, b, n, m N, then T2n,2ap m 2n 2ap m 1 1 2n 2ap m mod p m 38 and n T2n,2ap m + 2b T2j,2ap m T2n 2j,2b mod p m, j0 39 where 2n 2ap m mod p 1. Proof By 6 and Lemma 8, we have T2n,2ap m x 2n ap m p m x 2 1 ix 2 x 2 1 ix 2 a x 1 2apm 1 x 2apm 1 n + 2ap m 1 1 x 2apm +n n 2n 2ap m 1 1 x 2n mod p m. 2n 2ap m nap m This completes the proof of 38. For 39, we can prove this as follows.
