Abstract:
For any positive integer r, the r-Fubini number with parameter n,
denoted by Fn,r, is equal to the number of ways that the elements of a
set with n + r elements can be weakly ordered such that the r least
elements are in distinct orders. In this article we focus on the
sequence of residues of the r-Fubini numbers modulo an arbitrary
positive integer s and show that this sequence is periodic and then,
exhibit how to calculate its period length.
