  1. In this paper, we investigate the existence of Sierpi´nski numbers and Riesel numbers as binomial coefficients. We show that for any odd positive integer r, there exist infinitely many Sierpi´nski numbers and Riesel numbers of the form kCr. Let S(x) be the number of positive integers r satisfying 1 ≤ r ≤ x for which kCr is a Sierpi´nski number for infinitely many k. We further show that the value S(x)/x gets arbitrarily close to 1 as x tends to infinity. Generalizations to base a-Sierpi´nski numbers and base a-Riesel numbers are also considered. In particular, we prove that there exist infinitely many positive integers r such that kCr is simultaneously a base a-Sierpi´nski and base a-Riesel number for infinitely many k.
