Motzkin paths of order-$\ell$ are a generalization of Motzkin paths that use steps $U=(1,1)$, $L=(1,0)$, and $D_i=(1,-i)$ for every positive integer $i \leq \ell$. We further generalize order-$\ell$ Motzkin paths by allowing for various…
Motzkin paths consist of up-steps, down-steps, level-steps, and never go below the $x$-axis. They return to the $x$-axis at the end. The concept of skew Dyck path \cite{Deutsch-italy} is transferred to skew Motzkin paths, namely, a left…
The objective of this paper is to describe the structure of Zariski closed algebras, which provide a useful generalization to finite dimensional algebras in the study of representable algebras over finite fields. Our results include a…
This paper is divided into two parts. In the first part, we develop a general method for expressing ranks of matrix expressions that involve Moore-Penrose inverses, group inverses, Drazin inverses, as well as weighted Moore-Penrose inverses…
We introduce a generalization of Pascal triangle based on binomial coefficients of finite words. These coefficients count the number of times a word appears as a subsequence of another finite word. Similarly to the Sierpi\'nski gasket that…
We derive formulae for the number of set-valued standard tableaux of two-rowed shapes, keeping track of the total number of entries, the number of entries in the first row, and the number of entries in the second row. Key in the proofs is a…
The notion of a cyclic map g: A -> X is a natural generalization of a Gottlieb element in pi_n(X). We investigate cyclic maps from a rational homotopy theory point of view. We show a number of results for rationalized cyclic maps which…
We show how Andrews' generating functions for generalized Frobenius partitions can be understood within the theory of Eichler and Zagier as specific coefficients of certain Jacobi forms. This reformulation leads to a recursive process which…
A combinatorial theory for type $R_I$ orthogonal polynomials is given. The ingredients include weighted generalized Motzkin paths, moments, continued fractions, determinants, and histories. Several explicit examples in the Askey scheme are…
In this paper, closed formulas for the eigenvectors of a particular class of matrices generated by generalized permutation matrices, named generalized circulant matrices, are presented.
Simple random walks are a basic staple of the foundation of probability theory and form the building block of many useful and complex stochastic processes. In this paper we study a natural generalization of the random walk to a process in…
The idea is to identify certain path algebra elements with symmetric functions. We propose such a morphism by solving the quiver relations, which describe the Plucker-type embedding for quiver grassmannians.
Rational Dyck paths are the rational generalization of classical Dyck paths. They play an important role in Catalan combinatorics, and have multiple applications in algebra and geometry. Two statistics over rational Dyck paths called run…
A general closed interval matrix is a matrix whose entries are closed connected nonempty subsets of the set of the real numbers, while an interval matrix is defined to be a matrix whose entries are closed bounded nonempty intervals in the…
The reciprocal Pascal matrix has entries $\binom{i+j}{j}^{-1}$. Explicit formullae for its LU-decomposition, the LU-decomposition of its inverse, and some related matrices are obtained. For all results, $q$-analogues are also presented.
Generalized probabilistic theories (GPT) provide a general framework that includes classical and quantum theories. It is described by a cone $C$ and its dual $C^*$. We show that whether some one-way communication complexity problems can be…
In this note, we explore links between Riordan arrays and lattice paths. We begin by describing Riordan arrays, and some of their generalizations, including rectifications and triangulations. We the consider Riordan array links to lattice…
We prove Koszulity of certain linear path categories obtained from connected graphs with some infinite directed walk. These categories can be viewed as locally quadratic dual to preprojective algebras.
This study examines the properties of an r-circulant matrix whose entries are defined by the generalized k-Pell-Tribonacci sequence {P_k,n}. Explicit expressions are derived for the Frobenius (Euclidean) norm and the entrywise \ell_1-norm,…
The Coulomb gas partition sum is rewritten in terms of the path integrals formalism. It is shown that perturbation theories based on the Mayer expansion and on the path integrals method lead to the identical results. The well known…
