Maximum value of the binomial coefficient as a polynomial

I'll post a sketch for now, and fill it in later. I use C(x) for $\binom{x}{k}$. Taking derivative wrt x, I get C(x)(sum 1/(x-i)). Thus local extrema occur when one subsum of fractions equals the …

Simplest form for sum of Binomial Expressions

Addendum: I misread the problem, not paying attention to the for all s and r. Thus the trivial answer to the second more general question trivially misses the intent. However, one can change the pro …

Estimating a sum involving binomial coefficients [refined]

You can rewrite it as $$\frac{(m+q)!}{(m-q)!(q!)^2} \sum_{0\leq i \leq m-q} \frac{\binom{m}{i+q}\binom{m-q}{i}}{\binom{m+q}{i+q}}$$, but if W-Z gives a hypergeometric result as in Dima Pasechnik's an …
