The binomial coefficients and Catalan triangle numbers appear as weight multiplicities of the finite-dimensional simple Lie algebras and affine Kac--Moody algebras. We prove that any binomial coefficient can be written as weighted sums…
In this paper we determine the parity of some sequences which are related to Catalan numbers. Also we introduce a combinatorical object called, \Catalan tree", and discuss its properties.
We consider a two-parameter family of triangles whose $(n,k)$-th entry (counting the initial entry as the $(0,0)$-th entry) is the number of tilings of $N$-boards (which are linear arrays of $N$ unit square cells for any nonnegative integer…
We show that Laurent biorthogonal polynomials whose defining three-term recurrence have constant coefficients have coefficient arrays that are Riordan arrays. For each such family of Laurent biorthogonal polynomials we associate in a…
We give recurrence relations for any family of generalized Appell polynomials unifying so some known recurrences of many classical sequences of polynomials. Our main tool to get our goal is the Riordan group. We use the product of Riordan…
Using the language of Riordan arrays, we study a one-parameter family of orthogonal polynomials that we call the restricted Chebyshev-Boubaker polynomials. We characterize these polynomials in terms of the three term recurrences that they…
We propose and investigate a bi-infinite matrix approach to the multiplication and composition of formal Laurent series. We generalize the concept of Riordan matrix to this bi-infinite context, obtaining matrices that are not necessarily…
The Fibonacci sequence is obtained as weighted sum along the rows in the Pascal triangle by choosing a periodic up-and-down pattern of weights from the set $\{-1,-\frac{1}{2},0, \frac{1}{2}, 1\}$. A graphical illustration of this identity…
We study a family of Riordan arrays whose square symmetrizations lead to the Robbins numbers as well as numbers associated to the $20$ vertex model. We provide closed-form expressions for the elements of these arrays, and also give a…
We introduce a method for describing Riordan matrices via recurrence relations along their diagonals. This provides a new structural description that complements the classical row-wise and column-wise constructions via the A-sequence. As an…
We provide a context around a conjectured closed form for the Hankel transform of linear combinations of consecutive pairs of Catalan numbers. This generalizes the formula for the Hankel transforms of the shifted Catalan numbers and the…
We study the Hankel transforms of sequences related to the central coefficients of a family of Pascal-like triangles. The mechanism of Riordan arrays is used to elucidate the structure of these transforms.
We study a certain family of infinite series with reciprocal Catalan numbers. We first evaluate two special candidates of the family in closed form, where we also present some Catalan-Fibonacci relations. Then we focus on the general…
Every ordinary Riordan array contains two naturally embedded Riordan arrays. We explore this phenomenon, and we compare it to the situation for certain moment matrices of families of orthogonal polynomials.
A Catalan word is one on the alphabet of positive integers starting with $1$ in which each subsequent letter is at most one more than its predecessor. Let $\mathcal{C}_n$ denote the set of Catalan words of length $n$. In this paper, we give…
In the paper, with the aid of the series expansions of the square or cubic of the arcsine function, the authors establish several possibly new combinatorial identities containing the ratio of two central binomial coefficients which are…
We consider Catalan-pair graphs, a family of graphs that can be viewed as representing certain interactions between pairs of objects which are enumerated by the Catalan numbers. In this paper we study random Catalan-pair graphs and deduce…
In this paper, we use the theory of Riordan matrices to introduce the notion of a Riordan graph. The Riordan graphs are a far-reaching generalization of the well known and well studied Pascal graphs and Toeplitz graphs, and also some other…
Catalan numbers and their interpretations in terms of Dyck paths are widely used in different topics of applied mathematics and computer science. Here, we consider a general approach for constrained Dyck paths. In particular, we study Dyck…
For an integer $p\geq 2$ we construct vertical and horizontal one-pth Riordan arrays from a Riordan array. When $p=2$, one-pth Riordan arrays reduced to well known half Riordan arrays. The generating functions of the $A$-sequences of…
