We present a higher genus generalization of $bc$-Motzkin numbers, which are themselves a generalization of Catalan numbers, and we derive a recursive formula which can be used to calculate them. Further, we show that this leads to a…

In the present article, real number representations, that are generalizations of classical positive and alternating representations of numbers, are introduced and investigated. The main metric relation, properties of cylinder sets are…

This article introduces and investigates a refinement of alternating sign trapezoids by means of Catalan objects and Motzkin paths. Alternating sign trapezoids are a generalisation of alternating sign triangles, which were recently…

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 reprove a few results concerning paperfolding sequences using properties of Catalan numbers modulo 2.

The Catalan numbers are well-known to be the answer to many different counting problems, and so there are many different families of sets whose cardinalities are the Catalan numbers. We show how such a family can be given the structure of a…

The Catalan transform of a sequence (a_{n})_{n>=0} is the sequence (b_{n})_{n>=0} with b_{n} = Sum[k/(2n-k) (2n-k)-choose-(n-k) a_{k},k=0..n]. Here we show that the Catalan transform of the Catalan numbers has a simple interpretation: it…

We introduce poly-Cauchy permutations that are enumerated by the poly-Cauchy numbers. We provide combinatorial proofs for several identities involving poly-Cauchy numbers and some of their generalizations. The aim of this work is to…

It is shown that Bernoulli numbers and tangent numbers (the derivatives of the tangent function at zero) can be obtained by means of easily defined triangles of numbers in several ways, some of them very similar to the Catalan triangle and…

In this paper, we study the combinatorial structures of straight and ordinary m\'enage permutations. Based on these structures, we prove four formulas. The first two formulas define a relationship between the m\'enage numbers and the…

Two integral representations of q-analogues of the Hurwitz zeta function are established. Each integral representation allows us to obtain an analytic continuation including also a full description of poles and special values at…

In this article, we explore a series of elementary yet insightful results involving integrals related to Gaussian sums. Using techniques rooted in classical calculus, we derive several identities and evaluate nontrivial definite integrals…

An original approach to solving rather difficult probabilistic problems arising in studying the readout of random discrete fields and having no exact analytical solutions at the moment is proposed. Several algorithms for direct, iterative,…

Using calculus we show how to prove some combinatorial inequalities of the type log-concavity or log-convexity. It is shown by this method that binomial coefficients and Stirling numbers of the first and second kinds are log-concave, and…

A new class of alternating convolutions concerning binomial coefficients and Catalan numbers are evaluated in closed forms.

In this paper, we generalize the Catalan number to the $(n,k)$-th Catalan numbers and find a combinatorial description that the $(n,k)$-th Catalan numbers is equal to the number of partitions of $n(k-1)+2$ polygon by $(k+1)$-gon where all…

Many combinatorial sequences (for example, the Catalan and Motzkin numbers) may be expressed as the constant term of $P(x)^k Q(x)$, for some Laurent polynomials $P(x)$ and $Q(x)$ in the variable $x$ with integer coefficients. Denoting such…

We study the computational complexity of converting one representation of real numbers into another representation. Typical examples of representations are Cauchy sequences, base-10 expansions, Dedekind cuts and continued fractions.

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…

In this paper, we consider representations of integers as sums of at most four distinct $m$-gonal numbers (allowing a fixed number of repeats of each polygonal number occurring in the sum). We show that the number of such representations…
