We study a certain family of infinite series with reciprocal Catalan numbers. We first evaluate two special candidates of the family in closed form, where we also present some Catalan-Fibonacci relations. Then we focus on the general…
In 1971, by induction on $n$ and using a two-term linear recurrence relation, Graham and Pollak got a beautiful formula $$\det(D_n)=-(n-1)(-2)^{n-2}$$ on the determinant of distance matrix $D_n$ of a tree $T_n$ on $n$ vertices. The…
We provide a simple method to recognize classical orthogonal polynomials on lattices defined only by their coefficients of the three term recurrence relation.
We classify the homogeneous finite-dimensional permutation structures, i.e., homogeneous structures in a language of finitely many linear orders, giving a nearly complete answer to a question of Cameron, and confirming the classification…
Second order recurrence relations of real numbers arise form various applications in discrete time dynamical systems as well as in the context on Markov chains. Solutions to the recurrence relations are fully defined by the first two…
We study the discrete-time, real valued bounded process $\{X_n, n\in {\mathbb N} \}$ defined by a second order recurrence relation $X_{n+2} = \varphi(X_n,X_{n+1})$. We obtain the decay of correlations under analytical hypotheses on $\varphi…
We first establish the result that the Narayana polynomials can be represented as the integrals of the Legendre polynomials. Then we represent the Catalan numbers in terms of the Narayana polynomials by three different identities. We give…
Horadam symbol elemnts are introduced. Certain properties of these elements are explored. Some well known identities such as Catalan identity, Cassini formula and d'Ocagne's identity are obtained for these elements.
We present a differential-calculus-based method which allows one to derive more identities from {\it any} given Fibonacci-Lucas identity containing a finite number of terms and having at least one free index. The method has two {\it…
Fomin and Zelevinsky show that a certain two-parameter family of rational recurrence relations, here called the (b,c) family, possesses the Laurentness property: for all b,c, each term of the (b,c) sequence can be expressed as a Laurent…
We consider Hankel determinants of the sequence of Catalan numbers modulo 2 (interpreted as integers 0 and 1) and more generally Hankel determinants where the sum over all permutations reduces to a single signed permutation.
According to McKay (1980) the irreducible characters of finite subgroups of SU(2) are in a natural 1-1 correspondence with the extended Coxeter-Dynkin graphs of type ADE. We show that the character values themselves can be given by an…
In this note, we explore certain determinantal descriptions of the Robbins numbers. Techniques used for this include continued fractions, Riordan arrays and series inversion. Proven and conjectured representations involve the determinants…
We describe how the reversion of a series is related to convolutional recurrence relations for the series, and we place this relationship in the context of Riordan arrays. As an example of the approach, we give new recurrence relations for…
The classical Fibonacci sequence is known to exhibit many fascinating properties. In this paper, we explore the Fibonacci sequence and integer sequences generated by second order linear recurrence relations with positive integer…
The aim of this paper is twofold. The first part is concerned with the associated and the so-called co-polynomials, i.e. new sequences obtained when finite perturbations of the recurrence coefficients are considered. In the second part we…
We apply a symbolic approach of the general quadratic decomposition of polynomial sequences - presented in a previous article referenced herein - to polynomial sequences fulfilling specific orthogonal conditions towards two given…
In investigating the properties of a certain class of homogeneous polynomials, we discovered an identity satisfied by their coefficients which involves simple 2F1 Gauss hypergeometric functions. This result appears to be new and we supply a…
This is the first installment of an exposition of an ACL2 formalization of elementary linear algebra, focusing on aspects of the subject that apply to matrices over an arbitrary commutative ring with identity, in anticipation of a future…
We give a short proof of the Cauchy-Binet determinantal formula using multilinear algebra by first generalizing it to an identity {\em not} involving determinants. By extending the formula to abstract Hilbert spaces we obtain, as a…
