This note presents some results about Hankel determinants of backwards shifted Catalan-like numbers and related sequences.
The notion of a mesh pattern was introduced recently, but it has already proved to be a useful tool for description purposes related to sets of permutations. In this paper we study eight mesh patterns of small lengths. In particular, we…
We introduce the notion of infinitely log-monotonic sequences. By establishing a connection between completely monotonic functions and infinitely log-monotonic sequences, we show that the sequences of the Bernoulli numbers, the Catalan…
We show that Stieltjes moment sequences are infinitely log-convex, which parallels a famous result that (finite) P\'olya frequency sequences are infinitely log-concave. We introduce the concept of $q$-Stieltjes moment sequences of…
We recall some basic properties of the Beta distribution and some of its modifications. We identified around $20$ of the moment sequences of Beta distributions as important integer sequences in the OEIS base of integer sequences. Among…
This (partly expository) paper originated from the study of Hankel determinants of convolution powers of Catalan numbers and of Narayana polynomials. This led to some Hankel determinants of signed Catalan numbers whose values are multiples…
Let $K\subseteq\mathbb{R}$ be the unique attractor of an iterated function system. We consider the case where $K$ is an interval and study those elements of $K$ with a unique coding. We prove under mild conditions that the set of points…
In this paper we study moment sequences of matrix-valued measures on compact intervals. A complete parametrization of such sequences is obtained via a symmetric version of matricial canonical moments. Furthermore, distinguished extensions…
In this note we give a survey about polynomials whose moments are multiples of super Catalan numbers and explore two different kinds of q-analogues.
A small set of combinatorial sequences have coefficients that can be represented as moments of a nonnegative measure on $[0, \infty)$. Such sequences are known as Stieltjes moment sequences. This article focuses on some classical sequences…
We calculate moments of the so-called Kesten distribution by means of the expansion of the denominator of the density of this distribution and then integrate all summands with respect to the semicircle distribution. By comparing this…
The moments of the Lucas polynomials and of the Chebyshev polynomials of the first kind are (multiples of) central binomial coefficients and the moments of the Fibonacci polynomials and of the Chebyshev polynomials of the second kind are…
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…
We define a new generalization of Catalan numbers to multinomial coefficients. With arithmetic methods, we study their integrality and the integrality of their Lucasnomial generalization. We give a complete characterization of regular Lucas…
Recent works have shown that the family of probability distributions with moments given by the Fuss-Catalan numbers permit a simple parameterized form for their density. We extend this result to the Raney distribution which by definition…
Ascent sequences are those consisting of non-negative integers in which the size of each letter is restricted by the number of ascents preceding it and have been shown to be equinumerous with the (2+2)-free posets of the same size.…
A coding method using binary sequences is presented for different computation problems related to Catalan numbers. This method proves in a very easy way the equivalence of these problems.
The document tries to put focus on sequences with certain properties and periods leading to the first value smaller than the starting value in the Collatz problem. With the idea that, if all starting numbers lead ultimately to a smaller…
The Catalan numbers $C_n$ are an extremely well-studied sequence of numbers that appear as the answer to many combinatorial problems. Two generalizations of these numbers that have been studied are the Fuss-Catalan numbers and the…
Given a multi-index sequence $\mu_{\mathbf{k}}$, $\mathbf{k} = (k_1,..., k_n) \in \mathbb{N}_0^n$, necessary and sufficient conditions are given for the existence of a regular Borel polymeasure $\gamma$ on the unit interval $I= [0,1]$ such…
