Spivey presented a new approach to evaluate combinatorial sums by using finite differences. We present some closed forms for sums involving the binomial coefficients, Fibonacci and Lucas numbers in terms of the falling factorial.
We study two natural preorders on the set of tripotents in a JB$^*$-triple defined in terms of their Peirce decomposition and weaker than the standard partial order. We further introduce and investigate the notion of finiteness for…
Divisibility sequences are defined by the property that their elements divide each other whenever their indices do. The divisibility sequences that also satisfy a linear recurrence, like the Fibonacci numbers, are generated by polynomials…
Hyperplane arrangements dissect $\mathbb{R}^n$ into connected components called chambers, and a well-known theorem of Zaslavsky counts chambers as a sum of nonnegative integers called Whitney numbers of the first kind. His theorem…
We get new Hopf algebras (HA): 1. A wealth of quotient HA's of the Malvenuto-Reutenauer HA (the Loday-Ronco HA being a special case). They consist of the permutations avoiding an {\it arbitrary} set of permutations without global descents,…
The study describes a class of integer labelings of the Fibonacci tree, the tree of descent introduced by Fibonacci. In these labelings, Fibonacci sequences appear along ascending branches of the tree, and it is shown that the labels at any…
Given a set of integers with no three in arithmetic progression, we construct a Stanley sequence by adding integers greedily so that no arithmetic progression is formed. This paper offers two main contributions to the theory of Stanley…
Generalizations of Bell polynomials, Bell numbers, and Stirling numbers of the second kind have been introduced and their generating functions were evaluated.
In this paper, we introduce a partial order on rings with involution, which is a generalization of the partial order on the set of projections in a Rickart *-ring. We prove that a *-ring with the natural partial order form a sectionally…
We study some properties of restricted and associated Fubini numbers. In particular, they have the natural extensions of the original Fubini numbers in the sense of determinants. We also introduce modified Bernoulli and Cauchy numbers and…
Stirling numbers, which count partitions of a set and permutations in the symmetric group, have found extensive application in combinatorics, geometry, and algebra. We study analogues and q-analogues of these numbers corresponding to the…
We introduce $\delta$-cliffs, a generalization of permutations and increasing trees depending on a range map $\delta$. We define a first lattice structure on these objects and we establish general results about its subposets. Among them, we…
We establish counting formulas and bijections for deformations of the braid arrangement. Precisely, we consider real hyperplane arrangements such that all the hyperplanes are of the form $x\_i-x\_j=s$ for some integer $s$. Classical…
Well-partial orders, and the ordinal invariants used to measure them, are relevant in set theory, program verification, proof theory and many other areas of computer science and mathematics. In this article we focus on one of the most…
In this paper we present a new approach to construct the set of numerical semigroups with a fixed genus. Our methodology is based on the construction of the set of numerical semigroups with fixed Frobenius number and genus. An equivalence…
The notion of 'bifurcating continued fractions' is introduced. Two coupled sequences of non-negative integers are obtained from an ordered pair of positive real numbers in a manner that generalizes the notion of continued fractions. These…
In this paper, we provide new applications of Fibonacci and Lucas numbers. In some circumstances, we find algebraic structures on some sets defined with these numbers, we generalize Fibonacci and Lucas numbers by using an arbitrary binary…
This paper studies three natural pre-orders of increasing generality on the set of all completely non-unitary partial isometries with equal defect indices. We show that the problem of determining when one partial isometry is less than…
In "Hopf algebra of the planar binary trees", Adv. Math. 139 (1998), no. 2, 293--309, we constructed by induction a graded associative product on the vector space generated by the planar binary trees (resp. the permutations). In the present…
Stanley's inequalities for partially ordered sets establish important log-concavity relations for sequences of linear extensions counts. Their extremals however, i.e., the equality cases of these inequalities, were until now poorly…
