Some combinatorial arrays related to the Lotka-Volterra system

Combinatorics 2014-04-04 v1

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the connection between the Lotka-Volterra system and combinatorics. We study several context-free grammars associated with the Lotka-Volterra system. Some combinatorial arrays, involving the Stirling numbers of the second kind and Eulerian numbers, are generated by these context-free grammars. In particular, we present grammatical characterization of some statistics on cyclically ordered partitions.
