定义为min(nu_p(S(k,j)j!)的数e_p(k,n):j >= n)在代数拓扑学中经常出现。这里S(k,j)是第二类斯特林数,nu_p(-)是p的指数.作者和孙文证明了:如果L足够大,则e_p((p-1)p^L + n-1,n)>= n-1+nu_p([n/p]!).在本文中,我们确定了一组整数n的等式成立的这个不等式时,p=2和3。条件大致是,在n的以p为底的展开式中,两个连续数字的和必须总是小于p。
The numbers e_p(k,n) defined as min(nu_p(S(k,j)j!): j >= n) appear frequently in algebraic topology. Here S(k,j) is the Stirling number of the second kind, and nu_p(-) the exponent of p. The author and Sun proved that if L is sufficiently large, then e_p((p-1)p^L + n -1, n) >= n-1+nu_p([n/p]!). In this paper, we determine the set of integers n for which equality holds in this inequality when p=2 and 3. The condition is roughly that, in the base-p expansion of n, the sum of two consecutive digits must always be less than p.
