Three families of posets depending on a nonnegative integer parameter $m$ are introduced. The underlying sets of these posets are enumerated by the $m$-Fuss Catalan numbers. Among these, one is a generalization of Stanley lattices and…
In 2012, the second author introduced and examined a new type of algebras as a generalization of De Morgan algebras. These algebras are of type (2,0) with one binary and one nullary operation satisfying two certain specific identities. Such…
We consider a family of infinite sums of products of Catalan numbers, indexed by trees. We show that these sums are polynomials in $1/\pi$ with rational coefficients; the proof is effective and provides an algorithm to explicitly compute…
We introduce and study a one-parameter generalization of the q-Whittaker symmetric functions. This is a family of multivariate symmetric polynomials, whose construction may be viewed as an application of the procedure of fusion from…
We provide an alternative description of the group of Riordan arrays, by using two power series of the form $\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} g_n x^n$, where $g_0 \ne 0$ to build a typical element of the constructed group. We relate these elements to…
This paper has an expository nature. We compare the spectral properties (such as boundedness and compactness) of three families of semi-infinite matrices and point out similarities between them. The common feature of these families is that…
We show that Laurent biorthogonal polynomials whose defining three-term recurrence have constant coefficients have coefficient arrays that are Riordan arrays. For each such family of Laurent biorthogonal polynomials we associate in a…
We define two notions of partial sums of a Riordan array, corresponding respectively to the partial sums of the rows and the partial sums of the columns of the Riordan array in question. We characterize the matrices that arise from these…
We analyze both finite and infinite systems of Riccati equations derived from stochastic differential games on infinite networks. We discuss a connection to the Catalan numbers and the convergence of the Catalan functions by Fourier…
In this paper, we use the theory of Riordan matrices to introduce the notion of a Riordan graph. The Riordan graphs are a far-reaching generalization of the well known and well studied Pascal graphs and Toeplitz graphs, and also some other…
Sigmoid functions play an important role in many areas of applied mathematics, including machine learning, population dynamics and probability. We place the study of sigmoid functions in the context of the derivative sub-group of the group…
In the paper, with the aid of the series expansions of the square or cubic of the arcsine function, the authors establish several possibly new combinatorial identities containing the ratio of two central binomial coefficients which are…
The central object of study in this paper are infinite banded Hessenberg matrices admitting factorisations as products of bidiagonal matrices. In the two main novel results of this paper, we show that these Hessenberg matrices are…
We defined two type $B$-sequences of Riordan arrays and present the $A$-sequence characterization and $Z$-sequence characterization of the Riordan matrices with two type $B$-sequences. The subgroups characterized by $A$-sequences and…
We study the distribution of arithmetic invariants associated to Alexander polynomials for certain infinite families of links. The families of links we consider arise from braids on a fixed number of strings. We explore analogies with…
We provide a context around a conjectured closed form for the Hankel transform of linear combinations of consecutive pairs of Catalan numbers. This generalizes the formula for the Hankel transforms of the shifted Catalan numbers and the…
The Raney numbers $R_{p,r}(n)$ are a two-parameter generalization of the Catalan numbers that were introduced by Raney in his investigation of functional composition patterns \cite{Raney}. We give a new combinatorial interpretation for all…
We introduce a new model of interacting spin 1/2. It describes interaction of three nearest neighbors. The Hamiltonian can be expressed in terms of Fredkin gates. The Fredkin gate (also known as the CSWAP gate) is a computational circuit…
Writing the values of Krawtchouk polynomials as matrices, we consider weighted partial sums along columns. For the general case, we find an identity that, in the symmetric case yields a formula for such partial sums. Complete sums of…
We describe arithmetic algorithms on a canonical number representation based on the Catalan family of combinatorial objects specified as a Haskell type class. Our algorithms work on a {\em generic} representation that we illustrate on…
