We show that q-Catalan numbers, q- central binomial coefficients and q- Narayana polynomials are moments of q-analogues of Fibonacci and Lucas polynomials and related polynomials.
We show that certain Riordan arrays have generating functions that can be expressed as continued fractions of Jacobi and Thron type. We investigate the inverses of such arrays, which in certain circumstances can also have generating…
We obtain some properties of the q-Narayana polynomials for q=-1 and compare them to corresponding properties for q=1.
In a recent paper G. Bhatnagar has given simple proofs of some of Ramanujan's continued fractions. In this note we show that some variants of these continued fractions are generating functions of q-Schroeder-like numbers.
In this note we show that various natural q-analogues of the Catalan numbers can be obtained in a uniform way. Furthermore we compute their Hankel determinants.
We introduce a kind of $(p, q, t)$-Catalan numbers of Type A by generalizing the Jacobian type continued fraction formula, we proved that the corresponding expansions could be expressed by the polynomials counting permutations on…
We show that Narayana polynomials are a specialization of row Hall-Littlewood symmetric functions. Using lambda-ring calculus, we generalize to Narayana polynomials the formulas of Koshy and Jonah for Catalan numbers.
The $q$-Narayana numbers $N_q(n,k)$ and $q$-Catalan numbers $C_n(q)$ are respectively defined by $$ N_q(n,k)=\frac{1-q}{1-q^n}{n\brack k}{n\brack k-1}\quad\text{and}\quad C_n(q)=\frac{1-q}{1-q^{n+1}}{2n\brack n}, $$ where ${n\brack…
We introduce a refinement of Boolean-Catalan numbers and call them Boolean-Narayana numbers. We provide an explicit formula for these numbers, and prove unimodality, log-concavity, and real-roots-only results for their sequences. We also…
We give continued fraction expansions of the generating functions of Bernoulli numbers, Cauchy numbers, Euler numbers, harmonic numbers, and their generalized or related numbers. In particular, we focus on explicit forms of the convergents…
Our main result is that any real cubic algebraic number has a continued fraction expansion with polynomial coefficients. Some generalizations are mentioned.
We construct new continued fraction expansions of Jacobi-type J-fractions in $z$ whose power series expansions generate the ratio of the $q$-Pochhamer symbols, $(a; q)_n / (b; q)_n$, for all integers $n \geq 0$ and where $a,b,q \in…
Continued fractions whose elements are polynomial sequences have been carefully studied mostly in the cases where the degree of the numerator polynomial is less than or equal to two and the degree of the denominator polynomial is less than…
We consider a special class of periodic continued fractions (called alpha-fractions) and discuss the related algebraic and geometric problems. A classical description of the Jacobi variety of a hyperelliptic curve due to Jacobi naturally…
We use the method of generating functions to find the limit of a $q$-continued fraction, with 4 parameters, as a ratio of certain $q$-series. We then use this result to give new proofs of several known continued fraction identities,…
We study special values for the continuous $q$-Jacobi polynomials and present applications of these special values which arise from bilinear generating functions, and in particular the Poisson kernel for these polynomials.
We begin by deriving a number of combinatorial identities satisfied by the $q$-super Catalan numbers. In particular, we extend some of the known combinatorial identities (Touchard, Koshy, Reed Dawson) to the $q$-super Catalan numbers. Next,…
We find a generating function expressed as a continued fraction that enumerates ordered trees by the number of vertices at different levels. Several Catalan problems are mapped to an ordered-tree problem and their generating functions also…
In this paper, we introduce the polynomial continued fraction, a close relative of the well-known simple continued fraction expansions which are widely used in number theory and in general. While they may not possess all the intriguing…
We introduce a $q$-analog of the higher continued fractions introduced by the last three authors in a previous work (together with Gregg Musiker), which are simultaneously a generalization of the $q$-rational numbers of Morier-Genoud and…
