This paper introduces a novel generalization of Stirling and Lah numbers, termed ``heterogeneous Stirling numbers," which smoothly interpolate between these classical combinatorial sequences. Specifically, we define heterogeneous Stirling…
In this paper, generalized Bell polynomials $(\Be_n^\phi)_n$ associated to a sequence of real numbers $\phi=(\phi_i)_{i=1}^\infty$ are introduced. Bell polynomials correspond to $\phi_i=0$, $i\ge 1$. We prove that when $\phi_i\ge 0$, $i\ge…
We present two related conjectures, arising in work on i-matchings in random r-regular bipartite graphs. The conjectures themselves are easily stated and involve only basic properties of convergent power series. One formulation involves…
Given an ordered set partition, when one insert a number of bars in-between the blocks of the ordered set partition the result is a barred preferential arrangement. In this study, using the notion of barred preferential arrangements we…

Partial multivariate Bell polynomials have been defined by E.T. Bell in 1934. These polynomials have numerous applications in Combinatorics, Analysis, Algebra, Probabilities, etc. Many of the formulae on Bell polynomials involve…

When one inserts a number of identical bars in between blocks of an ordered set partition, they get a barred preferential arrangement. In this study we define a new generalization of barred preferential arrangements, by considering barred…
Set partitions and permutations with restrictions on the size of the blocks and cycles are important combinatorial sequences. Counting these objects lead to the sequences generalizing the classical Stirling and Bell numbers. The main focus…
