Abstract

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