We construct a combinatorial model that is described by the cube recurrence, a nonlinear recurrence relation introduced by Propp, which generates families of Laurent polynomials indexed by points in $\mathbb{Z}^3$. In the process, we prove…

Let $r(n,k)$ (resp. $s(n,k)$) be the number of Schr\"oder paths (resp. little Schr\"oder paths) of length $2n$ with $k$ hills, and set $r(0,0)=s(0,0)=1$. We bijectively establish the following recurrence relations: \begin{align*}…

Let $(x_n)_{n\geq0}$ be a linear recurrence sequence of order $k\geq2$ satisfying $$x_n=a_1x_{n-1}+a_2x_{n-2}+\dots+a_kx_{n-k}$$ for all integers $n\geq k$, where $a_1,\dots,a_k,x_0,\dots, x_{k-1}\in \mathbb{Z},$ with $a_k\neq0$. In 2017,…

The Brenke type generating functions are the polynomial generating functions of the form $$\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}{P_n(x )\over n!}t^n=A(t)B(xt), $$ where $A$ and $B$ are two formal power series subject to the conditions…

This paper studies the distribution of the component spectrum of combinatorial structures such as uniform random forests, in which the classical generating function for the numbers of (irreducible) elements of the different sizes converges…

Polynomial ensembles are determinantal point processes associated with (non necessarily orthogonal) projections onto polynomial subspaces. The aim of this survey article is to put forward the use of recurrence coefficients to obtain the…

Polynomials $Q_n(z)$, $n=0,1,\ldots,$ that are multi-orthogonal with respect to a Nikishin system of $p\geq 1$ compactly supported measures over the star-like set of $p+1$ rays $S_+:=\{z\in \mathbb{C}: z^{p+1}\geq 0 \}$ are investigated. We…

The Ap\'ery numbers may be defined by a cubic three-term recurrence relation, that is, a three-term relation where the coefficients are polynomials in the index of degree $3$. In this work, we first provide a systematic review of Ap\'ery…

We consider the family $\mathcal P$ of $n$-tuples $P$ consisting of polynomials $P_1, \ldots, P_n$ with nonnegative coefficients which satisfy $\partial_i P_j(0) = \delta_{i, j},$ $i, j=1, \ldots, n.$ With any such $P,$ we associate a…

In a recent work Killip and Nenciu gave random recurrences for the characteristic polynomials of certain unitary and real orthogonal upper Hessenberg matrices. The corresponding eigenvalue p.d.f.'s are beta-generalizations of the classical…

For an arbitrary homogeneous linear recurrence sequence of order d with constant coefficients, we derive recurrence relations for all subsequences with indices in arithmetic progression. The coefficients of these recurrences are given…

Recurrence coefficients of semi-classical orthogonal polynomials (orthogonal polynomials related to a weight function $w$ such that $w'/w$ is a rational function) are shown to be solutions of non linear differential equations with respect…

We consider a stochastic recurrence equation of the form $Z_{n+1} = A_{n+1} Z_n+B_{n+1}$, where $\mathbb{E}[\log A_1]<0$, $\mathbb{E}[\log^+ B_1]<\infty$ and $\{(A_n,B_n)\}_{n\in\mathbb{N}}$ is an i.i.d. sequence of positive random vectors.…

We study the pairing between zeros and critical points of the polynomial $p_n(z) = \prod_{j=1}^n(z-X_j)$, whose roots $X_1, \ldots, X_n$ are complex-valued random variables. Under a regularity assumption, we show that if the roots are…

The recurrence for the $k$-Fibonacci polynomials is usually iterated upwards to positive values of $n$ only. When the recurrence is iterated downwards to $n<0$, there are indices where the polynomials vanish identically. This fact does not…

Let $P=\{p_{1},\ld,p_{r}\}\subset\Q[n_{1},\ld,n_{m}]$ be a family of polynomials such that $p_{i}(\Z^{m})\sle\Z$, $i=1,\ld,r$. We say that the family $P$ has {\it PSZ property} if for any set $E\sle\Z$ with…
