Reciprocity for multirestricted Stirling numbers
Multirestricted Stirling numbers of the second kind count the number of partitions of a given set into a given number of parts, each part being restricted to at most a fixed number...

On a conjecture of Wilf
Abstract. Let n and k be natural numbers and let S(n, k) denote the Stirling numbers of the second kind. It is a conjecture of Wilf that the alternating sum nX j=0 (−1)j S(n, j) ...

Partitions and Clifford algebras
Given the set [n] = {1, . . . , n} for positive integer n, combinatorial properties of Clifford algebras are exploited to count partitions and nonoverlapping partitions of [n]. Th...
