In this paper we show that many well-known counting coefficients, including the Catalan numbers, the Motzkin numbers, the central binomial coefficients, the central Delannoy numbers are Hausdorff moment sequences in a unified approach. In…
In this (partly expository) paper we give a short overview about the close relationship between the sequence of Catalan numbers and Hankel determinants from the point of view of orthogonal polynomials and show that an analogous situation…
In this paper, bicomplex Pell and bicomplex Pell-Lucas numbers are defined. Also, negabicomplex Pell and negabicomplex Pell-Lucas numbers are given. Some algebraic properties of bicomplex Pell and bicomplex Pell-Lucas numbers which are…
We pose counting problems related to the various settings for Coxeter-Catalan combinatorics (noncrossing, nonnesting, clusters, Cambrian). Each problem is to count "twin" pairs of objects from a corresponding problem in Coxeter-Catalan…
The identity j/n {kn}\choose{n+j} =(k-1) {kn-1}\choose{n+j-1}- {kn-1}\choose{n+j} shows that j/n {kn}\choose{n+j} is always an integer. Here we give a combinatorial interpretation of this integer in terms of lattice paths, using a uniformly…
Generalizing the work of Farahat-Higman on symmetric groups, we describe the structures of the even centers Z_n of integral spin symmetric group superalgebras, which lead to universal algebras termed as the spin FH-algebras. A connection…
We consider Tuenter polynomials as linear combinations of descending factorials and show that coefficients of these linear combinations are expressed via a Catalan triangle of numbers. We also describe a triangle of coefficients in terms of…
Weighted Catalan numbers are a class of weighted sums over Dyck paths. Well-studied for their arithmetic properties and applications to enumerative combinatorics, these numbers were recently generalized to the setting of $k$-dimensional…
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…
Let W be a finite crystallographic reflection group. The generalized Catalan number of W coincides both with the number of clusters in the cluster algebra associated to W, and with the number of noncrossing partitions for W. Natural…
In this paper, we study arithmetic properties of weighted Catalan numbers. Previously, Postnikov and Sagan found conditions under which the $2$-adic valuations of the weighted Catalan numbers are equal to the $2$-adic valutations of the…
We show that recent determinant evaluations involving Catalan numbers and generalisations thereof have most convenient explanations by combining the Lindstr\"om-Gessel-Viennot theorem on non-intersecting lattice paths with a simple…
We present new proofs of eight integral representations of the Catalan numbers. Then, we create analogous integral representations of the Motzkin numbers and obtain new results. Most integral representations of counting sequences found in…
We study two classes of permutations intimately related to the visual proof of Spitzer's lemma and Huq's generalization of the Chung-Feller theorem. Both classes of permutations are counted by the Fuss-Catalan numbers. The study of one…
$\lambda\upsilon$ is an extension of the $\lambda$-calculus which internalises the calculus of substitutions. In the current paper, we investigate the combinatorial properties of $\lambda\upsilon$ focusing on the quantitative aspects of…
We investigate a class of combinatorial sums involving reciprocals of central binomial coefficients , employing generating functions as the primary solution technique to formulate and analyze series involving the Catalan's constant. Using a…
We describe one interpretation of the q-Catalan numbers in frameworks of random matrix theory and weighted partitions of the set of integers.
We find a generating function expressed as a continued fraction that enumerates ordered trees by the number of vertices at different levels. Several Catalan problems are mapped to an ordered-tree problem and their generating functions also…
Two formulas for the classical number $C_n$ of lines on a generic hypersurface of degree $2n-3$ in $\mathbb{CP}^n$ are obtained which differ from the formulas by Dominici, Harris, Libgober, and van der Waerden-Zagier. We review the…
In "Square partitions and Catalan numbers" (arXiv0912.4983), Bennett et al. presented a recursive algorithm to create a family of partitions from one or several partitions. They were mainly interested in the cases when we begin with a…
