Given a commutative ring with identity $R$, many different and interesting operations can be defined over the set $H_R$ of sequences of elements in $R$. These operations can also give $H_R$ the structure of a ring. We study some of these…
We present a new alternating convolution formula for the super Catalan numbers which arises as a generalization of two known binomial identities. We prove a generalization of this formula by using auxiliary sums, recurrence relations, and…

Notions of the orthogonality and convolution orthogonality are explored with the use of the Kontorovich-Lebedev transform and its convolution. New classes of the corresponding orthogonal polynomials and functions are investigated. Integral…
