Menon's proof of the preservation of log-concavity of sequences under convolution becomes simpler when adapted to 2-sided infinite sequences. Under assumption of log-concavity of two 2-sided infinite sequences, the existence of the…
We study the Pascal determinantal arrays $\PD_k$, whose entries $\PD_k(i,j)$ are the $k\times k$ minors of the lower-triangular Pascal matrix $P=( \binom{a}{b} )_{a,b\ge 0}$. We prove an exact factorization of the row-wise log-concavity…
Horizontal and vertical generating functions and recursion relations have been investigated by Comtet for triangular double sequences. In this paper we investigate the horizontal and vertical log-concavity of triangular sequences assigned…
A circular Pascal array is a periodization of the familiar Pascal's triangle. Using simple operators defined on periodic sequences, we find a direct relationship between the ranges of the circular Pascal arrays and numbers of certain…
We prove a lemma, which we call the Order Ideal Lemma, that can be used to demonstrate a wide array of log-concavity and log-convexity results in a combinatorial manner using order ideals in distributive lattices. We use the Order Ideal…
We introduce the three-Catalan triangle, highlighting the three-Catalan numbers along with their recurrence relation and combinatorial interpretation, which allows us to establish their log-convexity. Additionally, we prove that the rows of…
We introduce a new infinite family of arrays, the \emph{Pascal determinantal arrays} of order $k$, denoted $PD_k$, which generalize the classical Pascal array via determinantal constructions. We present a recursive algorithm for generating…
An elegant procedure which characterizes a decomposition of some class of binomial configurations into two other, resembling a definition of Pascal's Triangle, was given in \cite{gevay}. In essence, this construction was already presented…
This note collects some facts and conjectures about the Hankel determinants and their generating functions of the columns of Hoggatt triangles which apparently are related to combinatorial objects such as Young tableaux and Narayana…
In this paper, firstly, by a determinant of deformed Pascal's triangle, namely the normalized Hessenberg matrix determinant, to count Dyck paths, we give another combinatorial proof of the theorems which are of Catalan numbers determinant…
We show that the large Cartesian powers of any graph have log-concave valencies with respect to a ffxed vertex. We show that the series of valencies of distance regular graphs is log-concave, thus improving on a result of (Taylor,…
We give a generalization of the Pascal triangle called the quasi s-Pascal triangle where the sum of the elements crossing the diagonal rays produce the s-bonacci sequence. For this, consider a lattice path in the plane whose step set is {L…
The Fibonacci sequence is obtained as weighted sum along the rows in the Pascal triangle by choosing a periodic up-and-down pattern of weights from the set $\{-1,-\frac{1}{2},0, \frac{1}{2}, 1\}$. A graphical illustration of this identity…
The aim of this paper is to study determinants of matrices related to the Pascal triangle.
In this paper we first generalize the numerical recurrence relation given by Hosoya to polynomials. Using this generalization we construct a Hosoya-like triangle for polynomials, where its entries are products of generalized Fibonacci…
We derive some, seemingly new, curious additive relations in the Pascal triangle. They arise in summing up the numbers in the triangle along some vertical line up to some place.
In this paper we present a geometric approach to discovering some known and some new identities using triangular arrays. Our main aim is to demonstrate how to use the geometric patterns (by Carlitz), in the Pascal and Hosoya triangles to…
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…

This paper is devoted to the study of the log-convexity of combinatorial sequences. We show that the log-convexity is preserved under componentwise sum, under binomial convolution, and by the linear transformations given by the matrices of…
