We provide q-generalizations of Spivey's Bell number formula in various settings by considering statistics on different combinatorial structures. This leads to new identities involving q-Stirling numbers of both kinds and q-Lah numbers. As…

We study set partitions with $r$ distinguished elements and block sizes found in an arbitrary index set $S$. The enumeration of these $(S,r)$-partitions leads to the introduction of $(S,r)$-Stirling numbers, an extremely wide-ranging…
Four new relations have been found between the Stirling numbers of first and second kind. They are derived directly from recently published relations.
This paper investigates the Stirling numbers of the first and second kind associated with a delta series f (t). These numbers provide a robust framework that satisfies the orthogonality and inverse relations, often lacking in recent…
In this paper, we study $\lambda$-analogues of the r-Stirling numbers of the first kind which have close connections with the r-Stirling numbers of the first kind and $\lambda$-Stirling numbers of the first kind. Specifically, we give the…
Exponentiating the hypergeometric series gives a recursion relation for integer sequences which are generalizations of conventional Bell numbers. The corresponding associated Stirling numbers of the second kind are also generated and…
Certain triples of power series, considered by I. Macdonald, give a natural framework for many combinatorial and number theoretic sequences, such as the Stirling, Bernoulli and harmonic numbers and partitions of different kinds. The power…

Extending earlier work of R. Donaghey and P. J. Cameron, we investigate some canonical "eigen-sequences" associated with transformations of integer sequences. Several known sequences appear in a new setting: for instance the sequences (such…
