TLDR
For any prime p, the sequence of Catalan numbers a n = 1 n 2n−2 n−1 is divided by the an prime to p into blocks Bk(k > 0) of an divisible by p, whose lengths and positions are determined.

On the Congruences of Some Combinatorial Numbers

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors apply Lucas' theorem to evaluate the congruences of several combinatorial numbers, including the central Delannoy numbers and a class of Apery-like numbers.

On the Parity of Certain Coefficients for a $q$-Analogue of the Catalan Numbers

TL;DR: This paper shows how one can characterize the charge-Wilf equivalence classes for subsets of $S_3$ and uses a bijection between the charge statistic and the major index to prove a conjecture of Dokos, Dwyer, Johnson, Sagan and Selsor regarding powers of 2 and theMajor index.

A combinatorial approach to the power of 2 in the number of involutions

TL;DR: This work provides a combinatorial approach to the largest power of p in the number of permutations @p with @p^p=1, for a fixed prime number p, and finds the largestPower of 2 in theNumber of involutions, in the signed sum of involuntaryutions and in the numbers of even or odd involutions.

Inversion polynomials for 321-avoiding permutations

TL;DR: A generalization of a conjecture giving a recursion for the inversion polynomial of 321-avoiding permutations is proved, giving a Recursion of Dokos, Dwyer, Johnson, Sagan, and Selsor's conjecture.

Thin Sets with Fat Shadows: Projections of Cantor Sets

TL;DR: In this note, a simple construction of a Cantor subset of the unit square whose projection in every direction is a line segment is given, which can easily be generalized to n dimensions.
