We show how Andrews' generating functions for generalized Frobenius partitions can be understood within the theory of Eichler and Zagier as specific coefficients of certain Jacobi forms. This reformulation leads to a recursive process which…
In this paper we introduce mixed coloured permutation, permutations with certain coloured cycles, and study the enumerative properties of these combinatorial objects. We derive the generating function, closed forms, recursions and…
The main goal of this paper is to study the different definitions of generating sequences appearing in the literature. We present these definitions and show that under certain situations they are equivalent. We also present an example that…
The Motzkin numbers $M_n=\sum_{k=0}^n\binom n{2k}\binom{2k}k/(k+1)$ $(n=0,1,2,\ldots)$ and the central trinomial coefficients $T_n$ ($n=0,1,2,\ldots)$ given by the constant term of $(1+x+x^{-1})^n$, have many combinatorial interpretations.…
A proof for a conjecture by Shadrin and Zvonkine, relating the entries of a matrix arising in the study of Hurwitz numbers to a certain sequence of rational numbers, is given. The main tools used are iteration matrices of formal power…
In this paper, we extend the notion of labeled partitions with ordinary permutations to colored permutations in the sense that the colors are endowed with a cyclic structure. We use labeled partitions with colored permutations to derive the…
The aim of this paper is by using generating functions to further study some identities and properties on the degenerate Stirling numbers of the second kind, the degenerate $r$-Stirling numbers of the second kind, the degenerate Stirling…
We study systematically groups whose marked finite quotients form a recursive set. We give several definitions, and prove basic properties of this class of groups, and in particular emphasize the link between the growth of the depth…
We present new methods for the study of a class of generating functions introduced by the second author which carry some formal similarities with the Hurwitz zeta function. We prove functional identities which establish an explicit…
We derive the P-finite recurrences for classes of sequences with ordinary generating function containing roots of polynomials. The focus is on establishing the D-finite differential equations such that the familiar steps of reducing their…
In this paper, we define the generalized r-Whitney numbers of the first and second kind. Moreover, we drive the generalized Whitney numbers of the first and second kind. The recurrence relations and the generating functions of these numbers…
In this article, we consider the problem of determining formulas for the number of representations of a natural number $n$ by a sum of figurate numbers with certain positive integer coefficients. To achieve this, we prove that the…
The idea of generating integrals analogous to generating functions is first introduced in this paper. A new proof of the well-known Finite Harmonic Series Theorem in Analysis and Analytical Number Theory is then obtained by the method of…
Zarhin showed that a matrix constructed from a polynomial with distinct roots has co-rank one. Some striking properties of this matrix are used to give a direct proof of his result. An account is given of calculations carried out to try to…
For use in calculating higher-order coherent- and squeezed- state quantities, we derive generalized generating functions for the Hermite polynomials. They are given by $\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}z^{jn+k}H_{jn+k}(x)/(jn+k)!$, for arbitrary integers…
A generating function of the number of homomorphisms from the fundamental group of a compact oriented or non-orientable surface without boundary into a finite group is obtained in terms of an integral over a real group algebra. We calculate…
To distinguish the contributions to the generalized Hurwitz number of the source Riemann surface with different genus, we define the genus expanded cut-and-join operators by observing carefully the symplectic surgery and the gluing formulas…
We define a functor which gives the "global rank of a quiver representation" and prove that it has nice properties which make it a generalization of the rank of a linear map. We demonstrate how to construct other "rank functors" for a…
We enumerate several classes of pattern-avoiding rectangulations. We establish new bijective links with pattern-avoiding permutations, prove that their generating functions are algebraic, and confirm several conjectures by Merino and…
A well-known bijection between Motzkin paths and ordered trees with outdegree always $\le2$, is lifted to Grand Motzkin paths (the nonnegativity is dropped) and an ordered list of an odd number of such $\{0,1,2\}$ trees. This offers an…
