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…
We present a new alternating convolution formula for the super Catalan numbers which arises as a generalization of two known binomial identities. We prove a generalization of this formula by using auxiliary sums, recurrence relations, and…
A new class of alternating convolutions concerning binomial coefficients and Catalan numbers are evaluated in closed forms.
We give a new proof of the $k$-fold convolution of the Catalan numbers. This is done by enumerating a certain class of polygonal dissections called $k$-in-$n$ dissections. Furthermore, we give a formula for the average number of cycles in a…
A survey is given on mathematical structures which emerge in multi-loop Feynman diagrams. These are multiply nested sums, and, associated to them by an inverse Mellin transform, specific iterated integrals. Both classes lead to sets of…
Analysis of the dynamics of the Dyck words helped solve the problem of representing the Catalan number as a sum of squares of natural numbers. In this case, the Dyck triangle is considered in different coordinates. In the calculations, we…
Some changes in a recent convolution formula are performed here in order to clean it up by using more conventional notations and by making use of more referrenced and documented components (namely Sierpi\'nski's polynomials, the Thue-Morse…
We study the shifted convolution sum of the divisor function and some other arithmetic functions.
We introduce a finite version of free probability and show the link between recent results using polynomial convolutions and the traditional theory of free probability. One tool for accomplishing this is a seemingly new transformation that…
With every family of finitely many subsets of a finite-dimensional vector space over the Galois-field with two elements we associate a cyclic transversal polytope. It turns out that those polytopes generalize several well-known polytopes…
In this paper we consider a transformation $L_a$ of sequences of complex numbers. We find the inverse transformation of $L_a$ as well as the inverse of a related transformation $\tilde{L}_a$. We explore a connection to the binomial…
We study certain series with Catalan numbers and reciprocal Catalan numbers, respectively, and provide seemingly new closed form evaluations of these series with Fibonacci (Lucas) entries. In addition, we state some combinatorial sums that…
Any permutation has a disjoint cycle decomposition and concept generates an equivalence class on the symmetry group called the cycle-type. The main focus of this work is on permutations of restricted cycle-types, with particular emphasis on…
We study the shifted convolution sums associated to completely multiplicative functions taking values in $\{\pm 1\}$ and give combinatorical proofs of two recent results in the direction of Chowla's conjecture. We also determine the…
We introduce a finite version of free probability for rectangular matrices that amounts to operations on singular values of polynomials. We show that we can replicate the transforms from free probability, and that asymptotically there is…
Given any two sequences of complex numbers, we establish simple relations between their binomial convolution and the binomial convolution of their individual binomial transforms. We employ these relations to derive new identities involving…
We prove several new instances of the cyclic sieving phenomenon (CSP) on Catalan objects of type A and type B. Moreover, we refine many of the known instances of the CSP on Catalan objects. For example, we consider triangulations refined by…
In this article, we explore convolutions of distributions with distributions given by (weighted) line integration. We also explore the scattering of singularities of such convolutions.
We evaluate some new three parameter families of finite reciprocal sums involving Horadam numbers. We will also be able to state the results for the infinite sums. Some Fibonacci and Lucas sums will be presented as examples.
We describe how the reversion of a series is related to convolutional recurrence relations for the series, and we place this relationship in the context of Riordan arrays. As an example of the approach, we give new recurrence relations for…
