Motivated by the search for an appropriate notion of a cluster superalgebra, incorporating Grassmann variables, Ovsienko and Tabachnikov considered the extension of various recurrence relations with the Laurent phenomenon to the ring of…

The aim of this paper is to construct general forms of ordinary generating functions for special numbers and polynomials involving Fibonacci type numbers and polynomials, Lucas numbers and polynomials, Chebyshev polynomials, Sextet…

The main objective of this paper is to present recurrence relations for the generalized poly-Cauchy numbers and polynomials. This is accomplished by introducing the concept of generalized m-poly-Cauchy numbers and polynomials. Additionally,…

We introduce a subclass of linear recurrence sequences which we call poly-rational sequences because they are denoted by rational expressions closed under sum and product. We show that this class is robust by giving several…

We consider two families of Pascal-like triangles that have all ones on the left side and ones separated by $m-1$ zeros on the right side. The $m=1$ cases are Pascal's triangle and the two families also coincide when $m=2$. Members of the…

Let $\{U(m)\}_{m\in \N}$ and $\{V(n)\}_{n\in \N}$ be linear recurrence sequences. It is a well-known Diophantine problem to determine the finiteness of the set of natural numbers $n$ such that the ratio $U(n)/V(n)$ is an integer. We study…

In recent papers we have introduced a method for the study of limit cycles of the Lienard system: dot{x}=y-F(x), dot{y}=-x, where F(x) is an odd polynomial. The method gives a sequence of polynomials R_n(x), whose roots are related to the…

In this paper we present a new proof of the following 2010 result of Dubickas, Novikas, and Siurys: Let $(a,b)\in \mathbb{Z}^2$ and let $(x_n)_{n\ge 0}$ be the sequence defined by some initial values $x_0$ and $x_1$ and the second order…

We investigate semi-classical generalizations of the Charlier and Meixner polynomials, which are discrete orthogonal polynomials that satisfy three-term recurrence relations. It is shown that the coefficients in these recurrence relations…

We present two infinite sequences of polynomial eigenfunctions of a Sturm-Liouville problem. As opposed to the classical orthogonal polynomial systems, these sequences start with a polynomial of degree one. We denote these polynomials as…

We consider random walk polynomial sequences $(P_n(x))_{n\in\mathbb{N}_0}\subseteq\mathbb{R}[x]$ given by recurrence relations of the form $P_0(x)=1$, $P_1(x)=x$ and $x P_n(x)=a_n P_{n+1}(x)+c_n P_{n-1}(x)\;(n\in\mathbb{N})$, where $a_n$…

By using the Newton interpolation formula, we generalize the recent identities on the Catalan triangle obtained by Miana and Romero as well as those of Chen and Chu. We further study divisibility properties of sums of products of binomial…

For a prime $p\ge 5$ let $q_0,q_1,\ldots,q_{(p-3)/2}$ be the quadratic residues modulo $p$ in increasing order. We study two $(p-3)/2$-periodic binary sequences $(d_n)$ and $(t_n)$ defined by $d_n=q_n+q_{n+1}\bmod 2$ and $t_n=1$ if…

Jacobi said "man muss immer umkehren". And indeed it takes a genius like Michael Somos to take a specific non-linear recurrence, like a(n)=(a(n-1)a(n-3)+a(n-2)^2)/a(n-4), subject to a(1)=1, a(2)=1, a(3)=1, a(4)=1, and observe that surprise,…

It was shown by Fomin, Shapiro and Thurston that some cluster algebras arise from orientable surfaces. Subsequently, Dupont and Palesi extended this construction to non-orientable surfaces. We link this framework to Lam and Pylyavskyy's…

In a recent beautiful but technical article, William Y.C. Chen, Qing-Hu Hou, and Doron Zeilberger developed an algorithm for finding and proving congruence identities (modulo primes) of indefinite sums of many combinatorial sequences,…

We develop a recursive scheme, as well as polynomial forms (polynomials in $n$ of degree $m$), for the evaluation of Ledin and Brousseau's Fibonacci sums of the form $S(m,n,r)=\sum_{k=1}^nk^mF_{k + r}$, $T(m,n,r)=\sum_{k=1}^nk^mL_{k + r}$…

We study linear recurrences of Eulerian type of the form \[ P_n(v) = (\alpha(v)n+\gamma(v))P_{n-1}(v) +\beta(v)(1-v)P_{n-1}'(v)\qquad(n\ge1), \] with $P_0(v)$ given, where $\alpha(v), \beta(v)$ and $\gamma(v)$ are in most cases polynomials…

Generalizing a sequence of Lambert, Cayley and Ramanujan, Chapoton has recently introduced a polynomial sequence Q_n:=Q_n(x,y,z,t) defined by Q_1=1, Q_{n+1}=[x+nz+(y+t)(n+y\partial_y)]Q_n. In this paper we prove Chapoton's conjecture on the…

Let $(P_n)_n$ and $(Q_n)_n$ be two sequences of monic polynomials linked by a type structure relation such as $$ Q_{n}(x)+r_nQ_{n-1}(x)=P_{n}(x)+s_nP_{n-1}(x)+t_nP_{n-2}(x)\;, $$ where $(r_n)_n$, $(s_n)_n$ and $(t_n)_n$ are sequences of…
