The Catalan numbers (C_n)_{n >= 0} = 1,1,2,5,14,42,... form one of the most venerable sequences in combinatorics. They have many combinatorial interpretations, from counting bracketings of products in non-associative algebra to counting…
For $\boldsymbol{\large {\lambda}} = (\lambda_1,\ldots,\lambda_d)$ with $\lambda_i > 0$, it is proved that \begin{equation*} \prod_{i=1}^d \frac{ 1}{(1- r x_i)^{\lambda_i}} = \frac{\Gamma(|\boldsymbol{\large {\lambda}}|)}{\prod_{i=1}^{d}…
In this paper we present a special formula for transforming integrals to series. The resulting series involves binomial transforms with the Taylor coefficients of the integrand. Five applications are provided for evaluating challenging…
In this papier, by the classical umbral calculus method, we establish identities involving the Appell polynomials and extend some existing identities.
In this note, we develop transformation formulae and expansions for the log tangent integral, which are then used to derive series acceleration formulae for certain values of Dirichlet L-functions, such as Catalan's constant. The formulae…
We extend the notion of polynomial integration over an arbitrary circle $C$ in the Euclidean geometry over general fields $\mathbb F$ of characteristic zero as a normalized $\mathbb F$-linear functional on $\mathbb{F}\left[\alpha_1,…
We present here some new identities for generalizations of Fibonacci and Lucas numbers by combinatorially interpreting these numbers in terms of numbers of certain tilings of a $1 \times m$ board. As a consequence, some new interesting…
The purpose of this article is to present, in a simple way, an analytic approach to special numbers and polynomials. The approach is based on the derivative polynomials. The paper is, to some extent, a review article, although it contains…
The goal of this paper is to introduce and study noncommutative Catalan numbers $C_n$ which belong to the free Laurent polynomial algebra in $n$ generators. Our noncommutative numbers admit interesting (commutative and noncommutative)…
In this paper we determine the parity of some sequences which are related to Catalan numbers. Also we introduce a combinatorical object called, \Catalan tree", and discuss its properties.
The q-Catalan numbers studied by Carlitz and Riordan are polynomials in q with nonnegative coefficients. They evaluate, at q=1, to the Catalan numbers: 1, 1, 2, 5, 14,..., a log-convex sequence. We use a combinatorial interpretation of…
The Catalan transform of a sequence (a_{n})_{n>=0} is the sequence (b_{n})_{n>=0} with b_{n} = Sum[k/(2n-k) (2n-k)-choose-(n-k) a_{k},k=0..n]. Here we show that the Catalan transform of the Catalan numbers has a simple interpretation: it…
Assuming standard conjectures, we show that the canonical symmetrizing trace evaluated at powers of a Coxeter element produces rational Catalan numbers for irreducible spetsial complex reflection groups. This extends a technique used by…
If one restricts an irreducible representation $V_{\lambda}$ of $Gl_{2n}$ to the orthogonal group (respectively the symplectic group), the trivial representation appears with multiplicity one if and only if all parts of $\lambda$ are even…
This article is written with the hope to draw attention to a method that uses integral transforms to find exact values for a large class of convergent series (and, in particular, series of rational terms). We apply the method to some series…
The Fibonacci number is the residue of a rational function, from which follows that Fibonacci number summation identities can be derived with the integral representation method, a method also used to derive combinatorial identities. A…
Some variants of the numerical Picard iterations method are presented to solve an IVP for an ordinary differential system. The term numerical emphasizes that a numerical solution is computed. The method consists in replacing the right hand…
We refine Catalan numbers and Fu{\ss}-Catalan numbers by introducing colour statistics for triangulations of polygons and $d$-dimensional generalisations there-of which we call Fu{\ss}-Catalan complexes. Our refinements consist in showing…
A detailed study of a double integral representation of the Catalan's constant allows us to identify a duality identity for the Stieltjes transform on which it is based. This duality identity is then extended to an arbitrary dimensional…
In this paper, we propose a numerical method of computing Hadamard finite-part integrals with an integral power singularity at the endpoint on a half infinite interval, that is, a finite value assigned to a divergent integral with an…
