Coefficientwise total positivity of some matrices defined by linear recurrences

Combinatorics 2021-12-09 v1

Abstract

We exhibit a lower-triangular matrix of polynomials T(a,c,d,e,f,g)T(a,c,d,e,f,g) in six indeterminates that appears empirically to be coefficientwise totally positive, and which includes as a special case the Eulerian triangle. We prove the coefficientwise total positivity of T(a,c,0,e,0,0)T(a,c,0,e,0,0), which includes the reversed Stirling subset triangle.
