We translate the concept of succession rule and the ECO method into matrix notation, introducing the concept of a production matrix. This allows us to combine our method with other enumeration techniques using matrices, such as the method…
We use production matrices to count several classes of geometric graphs. We present novel production matrices for non-crossing partitions, connected geometric graphs, and k-angulations, which provide another way of counting the number of…
We define two notions of partial sums of a Riordan array, corresponding respectively to the partial sums of the rows and the partial sums of the columns of the Riordan array in question. We characterize the matrices that arise from these…
We provide an alternative description of the group of Riordan arrays, by using two power series of the form $\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} g_n x^n$, where $g_0 \ne 0$ to build a typical element of the constructed group. We relate these elements to…
This is the second paper of the paper series on multiple Riordan arrays. In this paper, based on the study of multiple Riordan arrays and the multiple Riordan group, we define multiple almost-Riordan arrays and find that the set of all…
We define and characterize the $f$-matrices associated to Pascal-like matrices that are defined by ordinary and exponential Riordan arrays. These generalize the face matrices of simplices and hypercubes. Their generating functions can be…
We propose and investigate a bi-infinite matrix approach to the multiplication and composition of formal Laurent series. We generalize the concept of Riordan matrix to this bi-infinite context, obtaining matrices that are not necessarily…
In this article, the 2-iterated Sheffer polynomials are introduced by means of generating function and operational representation. Using the theory of Riordan arrays and relations between the Sheffer sequences and Riordan arrays, a…
Let $A$ be a proper Riordan array with general element $a_{n,k}$. We study the one parameter family of matrices whose general elements are given by $a_{2n+r, n+k+r}$. We show that each such matrix can be factored into a product of a Riordan…
Riordan arrays, denoted by pairs of generating functions (g(z), f(z)), are infinite lower-triangular matrices that are used as combinatorial tools. In this paper, we present Riordan and stochastic Riordan arrays that have connections to the…
We define and characterize the $\gamma$-matrix associated to Pascal-like matrices that are defined by ordinary and exponential Riordan arrays. We also define and characterize the $\gamma$-matrix of the reversions of these triangles, in the…
For an integer $p\geq 2$ we construct vertical and horizontal one-pth Riordan arrays from a Riordan array. When $p=2$, one-pth Riordan arrays reduced to well known half Riordan arrays. The generating functions of the $A$-sequences of…
We characterize certain Riordan arrays by their $A$-matrices and $\rho$ sequences. We conjecture the form of a generic $A$-matrix which leads to Somos $4$ sequences. We find an $A$-matrix that produces a Riordan quasi-involution, and we…
Generalized Pascal matrix whose elements are generalized binomial coefficients is included in the group of generalized Riordan arrays. There is a special set of generalized Riordan arrays defined by parameter $q$. If $q=0$, they are…
We derive formulas for $(i)$ the number of toroidal $n\times n$ binary arrays, allowing rotation of rows and/or columns as well as matrix transposition, and $(ii)$ the number of toroidal $n\times n$ binary arrays, allowing rotation and/or…
We show that certain Riordan arrays have generating functions that can be expressed as continued fractions of Jacobi and Thron type. We investigate the inverses of such arrays, which in certain circumstances can also have generating…
In this note, we show how to define certain Riordan arrays, that we call the Fuss-Catalan-Riordan arrays, by means of a special family of $d$-orthogonal polynomials. We relate the Fuss-Catalan Riordan arrays to the Fuss Catalan numbers, and…
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…
A vertical recursive relation approach to Riordan arrays is induced, while the horizontal recursive relation is represented by $A$- and $Z$-sequences. This vertical recursive approach gives a way to represent the entries of a Riordan array…
In this paper, we define double almost-Riordan arrays and find that the set of all double almost-Riordan arrays forms a group, called the double almost-Riordan group. We also obtain the sequence characteristics of double almost-Riordan…
