We prove a central limit theorem for the joint distribution of $s_q(A_jn)$, $1\le j \le d$, where $s_q$ denotes the sum-of-digits function in base~$q$ and the $A_j$'s are positive integers relatively prime to $q$. We do this in fact within…
The Stieltjes constants $\gamma_k(a)$ appear as the coefficients in the regular part of the Laurent expansion of the Hurwitz zeta function $\zeta(s,a)$ about $s=1$. We generalize the integral and Stirling number series results of [4] for…
In this paper we present some applications of the Stieltjes constants including, for example, new derivations of Binet's formulae for the log gamma function and the evaluation of some integrals related to the Barnes multiple gamma…
Using techniques from the theories of convex polytopes, lattice paths, and indirect influences on directed manifolds, we construct continuous analogues for the binomial coefficients and the Catalan numbers. Our approach for constructing…
In this note we use the analogy between the Catalan sequence and the Rueppel sequence to derive a variety of conjectures surrounding the Hankel transforms of a number of sequences closely related to the Rueppel sequence. Use is made of the…
The Stieltjes moment problem is studied in a new framework within the general Gelfand-Shilov spaces defined via weight sequences. The novelty consists of allowing for a naturally larger target space for the moment mapping, which sends a…
We show that the formula recently derived by Coffey for the Stieltjes constants in terms of the Bernoulli numbers is mathematically equivalent to the much earlier representation derived by Briggs and Chowla.
In this paper we shall survey the various methods of evaluating Hankel determinants and as an illustration we evaluate some Hankel determinants of a q-analogue of Catalan numbers. Here we consider $\frac{(aq;q)_{n}}{(abq^{2};q)_{n}}$ as a…
We show that the Catalan-Schroeder convolution recurrences and their higher order generalizations can be solved using Riordan arrays and the Catalan numbers. We investigate the Hankel transforms of many of the recurrence solutions, and…
We introduce the $q,t$-Catalan measures, a sequence of piece-wise polynomial measures on $\mathbb{R}^2$. These measures are defined in terms of suitable area, dinv, and bounce statistics on continuous families of paths in the plane, and…
This paper aims at finding conditions on a Hamburger or Stieltjes moment sequence, under which the change of at most a finite number of its entries produces another sequence of the same type. It turns out that a moment sequence allows all…
In this note, we study two generalizations of the Catalan numbers, namely the $s$-Catalan numbers and the spin $s$-Catalan numbers. These numbers first appeared in relation to quantum physics problems about spin multiplicities. We give a…
This paper gives via Stieltjes transform a complete description of the solution set of a matricial truncated Stieltjes-type power moment problem in the non-degenerate and degenerate cases. The approach is based on the Schur type algorithm…
In this paper we study the strong matrix Stieltjes moment problem. We obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for its solvability. An analytic description of all solutions of the moment problem is derived. Necessary and sufficient…
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…
We introduce a transformation of finite integer sequences, show that every sequence eventually stabilizes under this transformation and that the number of fixed points is counted by the Catalan numbers. The sequences that are fixed are…
In this short note, we describe a problem in algebraic geometry where the solution involves Catalan numbers. More specifically, we consider the derived category of coherent sheaves on an elliptic surface, and the action of its…
We introduce new refinements of the Bell, factorial, and unsigned Stirling numbers of the first and second kind that unite the derangement, involution, associated factorial, associated Bell, incomplete Stirling, restricted factorial,…
The Stieltjes classes play a significant role in the moment problem allowing to exhibit explicitly an infinite family of probability densities with the same sequence of moments. In this paper, the notion of $q$-moment…
Nondegenerate truncated indefinite Stieltjes moment problem in the class $\mathbf{N}_{\kappa}^{k}$ of generalized Stieltjes functions is considered. To describe the set of solutions of this problem we apply the Schur step-by-step algorythm,…
