Abstract

The Riordan group is a set of infinite lower-triangular matrices defined by two generating functions, gg and ff. The elements of the group are called Riordan arrays, denoted by (g,f)(g,f), and the kkth column of a Riordan array is given by the function gfkgf^k. The Double Riordan group is defined similarly using three generating functions gg, f1f_1, and f2f_2, where gg is an even function and f1f_1 and f2f_2 are odd functions. This group generalizes the Checkerboard subgroup of the Riordan group, where gg is even and ff is odd. An open question posed by Davenport, Shapiro, and Woodson was if there exists an isomorphism between the Riordan group and a subgroup of the Double Riordan group. This question is answered in this article.
