By polynomial (or extended binomial) coefficients, we mean the coefficients in the expansion of integral powers, positive and negative, of the polynomial $1+t +\cdots +t^{m}$; $m\geq 1$ being a fixed integer. We will establish several…
We investigate some classes of infinite series involving central binomial coefficients, particularly focusing on those arising from ratios such as $\binom{2n}{n}\binom{4n}{2n}^{-1}$,$\binom{4n}{2n}\binom{2n}{n}^{-1}$ and related…

We present an analogue of the differential calculus in which the role of polynomials is played by certain ordered sets and trees. Our combinatorial calculus has all nice features of the usual calculus and has an advantage that the elements…
In previous work on Clebsch-Gordan coefficients, certain remarkable hexagonal arrays of integers are constructed that display behaviors found in Pascal's Triangle. We explain these behaviors further using the binomial transform and discrete…
