Fuss-Catalan Triangles

Abstract

For each p>0p>0 we define by recurrence a triangle Tp(n,k)T^p(n,k) whose rows sum to the Fuss-Catalan numbers 1pn+1(pn+1n) \frac{1}{p n+1}\binom{pn+1}{n}, generalizing the known Catalan triangle corresponding to the case p=2p=2. (In fact, Tp(n,k)T^p(n,k) has an explicit formula counting simple lattice paths). Moreover, for some small values of pp, the signed sums turn out to be known sequences. \end{abstract}
