Lah numbers and Lindstr\"om's lemma

Combinatorics 2017-11-15 v1

Abstract

We provide a combinatorial interpretation of Lah numbers by means of planar networks. Henceforth, as a conesquence of Lindstr\"om's lemma, we conclude that the related Lah matrix possesses a remarkable property of total non-negativity.
