In this paper we revisit the work of E.T. Bell concerning partition polynomials in order to introduce the reciprocal partition polynomials. We give their explicit formulas and apply the result to compute closed formulae for some well-known…
We introduce a refinement of Boolean-Catalan numbers and call them Boolean-Narayana numbers. We provide an explicit formula for these numbers, and prove unimodality, log-concavity, and real-roots-only results for their sequences. We also…

We define q-Catalan bases which are a generalization of the q-polynomials z^n(z,q)_n. The determination of their dual bases involves some q-power series termed dual coefficients. We show how these dual coefficients occur in the solution of…

By a very simple argument, we prove that if $l,m,n$ are nonnegative integers then $$\sum_{k=0}^l(-1)^{m-k}\binom{l}{k}\binom{m-k}{n}\binom{2k}{k-2l+m} =\sum_{k=0}^l\binom{l}{k}\binom{2k}{n}\binom{n-l}{m+n-3k-l}. On the basis of this…
We introduce and study a `level two' generalization of the poly-Bernoulli numbers, which may also be regarded as a generalization of the cosecant numbers. We prove a recurrence relation, two exact formulas, and a duality relation for…
