Multinomial Catalan Numbers and Lucas Analogues

Abstract

We define a new generalization of Catalan numbers to multinomial coefficients. With arithmetic methods, we study their integrality and the integrality of their Lucasnomial generalization. We give a complete characterization of regular Lucas sequences for which they yield integers up to finitely many cases.
