In this (mostly expository) paper I want to share some observations prompted by a class of matrices whose determinants are Catalan numbers. Considering different methods of proof we obtain some generalizations and q-analogues and…

This paper proposes a novel iterative algorithm to compute the stabilizing solution of regime-switching stochastic game-theoretic Riccati differential equations with periodic coefficients. The method decomposes the original complex…
Earlier work introduced a method for obtaining indefinite $q$-integrals of $q$-special functions from the second-order linear $q$-difference equations that define them. In this paper, we reformulate the method in terms of $q$-Riccati…
We describe one interpretation of the q-Catalan numbers in frameworks of random matrix theory and weighted partitions of the set of integers.
The study of linear-quadratic stochastic differential games on directed networks was initiated in Feng, Fouque \& Ichiba \cite{fengFouqueIchiba2020linearquadratic}. In that work, the game on a directed chain with finite or infinite players…
In this article we address the issue of uniqueness for differential and algebraic operator Riccati equations, under a distinctive set of assumptions on their unbounded coefficients. The class of boundary control systems characterized by…
The $q,t$-Catalan numbers can be defined using rational functions, geometry related to Hilbert schemes, symmetric functions, representation theory, Dyck paths, partition statistics, or Dyck words. After decades of intensive study, it was…
Convergent sequences of real numbers play a fundamental role in many different problems in system theory, e.g., in Lyapunov stability analysis, as well as in optimization theory and computational game theory. In this survey, we provide an…
The Fast Fourier Transform is extended to functions on finite graphs whose edges are identified with intervals of finite length. Spectral and pseudospectral methods are developed to solve a wide variety of time dependent partial…
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…
We establish existence and uniqueness for infinite dimensional Riccati equations taking values in the Banach space L 1 ($\mu$ $\otimes$ $\mu$) for certain signed matrix measures $\mu$ which are not necessarily finite. Such equations can be…
The Riccati equations reducible to first-order linear equations by an appropriate change the dependent variable are singled out. All these equations are integrable by quadrature. A wide class of linear ordinary differential equations…
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)…
We investigate a class of zero-sum linear-quadratic stochastic differential games on a finite time horizon governed by multiscale state equations. The multiscale nature of the problem can be leveraged to reformulate the associated…
It is proved that the members of the Riccati hierarchy, the so-called Riccati chain equations, can be considered as particular cases of projective Riccati equations, which greatly simplifies the study of the Riccati hierarchy. This also…
In this note, we study the convergence from the discrete to the continuous non-linear Fourier transform. Relations between spectral problems and questions in complex function theory provide a new approach to the study of scattering problems…
We develop a new approach to recurrence and the existence of non-constant harmonic functions on infinite weighted graphs. The approach is based on the capacity of subsets of metric boundaries with respect to intrinsic metrics. The main tool…
Discrete algebraic Riccati equations and their fixed points are well understood and arise in a variety of applications, however, the time-varying equations have not yet been fully explored in the literature. In this article we provide a…
The Catalan triangle, as well as a Fuss-Catalan triangle, enter a problem of counting particular tied arc diagrams. This setting allows us to prove some combinatorial properties of these triangles.
