Abstract
Rowland found a matrix product formula for generating functions counting binomial coefficients by their -adic valuations. A natural generalization of binomial coefficients was introduced by Knuth and Wilf defined by a sequence . We obtain analogous matrix product formulas counting these -nomial coefficients when is a strong divisibility sequence. Surprisingly, the matrices are universal in the sense that they are independent of . We further extend this product to -multinomial coefficients.
