Abstract

Let nn be any nonnegative integer and Dn(h)(x)=k=0n(n+k2k)h(2kk)hxk and Sn(h)(x)=k=0n(n+k2k)hCkhxk D_n^{(h)}(x)=\sum_{k=0}^{n}\binom{n+k}{2k}^{h}\binom{2k}{k}^{h}{x}^{k} \text{ and } S_{n}^{(h)}(x)=\sum_{k=0}^{n}\binom{n+k}{2k}^{h}C_{k}^{h}{x}^{k} be the generalized Delannoy polynomials and Schr\"oder polynomials respectively. Here CkC_k is the Catalan number and hh is a positive integer. In this paper, we prove that (2,n)n(n+1)(n+2)k=1nka(k+1)a(2k+1)Dk(h)(x)mZ[x],(2,hm1,n)n(n+1)(n+2)k=1n(1)kka(k+1)a(2k+1)Dk(h)(x)mZ[x],(2,n)n(n+1)(n+2)k=1nka(k+1)a(2k+1)Sk(h)(x)mZ[x],(2,m1,n)n(n+1)(n+2)k=1n(1)kka(k+1)a(2k+1)Sk(h)(x)mZ[x].\begin{align*} & \frac{(2,n)}{n(n+1)(n+2)} \sum_{k=1}^{n}k^a(k+1)^a(2k+1)D_{k}^{(h)}(x)^{m}\in\mathbb{Z}[x],\\ &\frac{(2,hm-1,n)}{n(n+1)(n+2)} \sum_{k=1}^{n}(-1)^{k}k^a(k+1)^a(2k+1)D_{k}^{(h)}(x)^{m}\in\mathbb{Z}[x],\\ &\frac{(2,n)}{n(n+1)(n+2)} \sum_{k=1}^{n}k^a(k+1)^a(2k+1)S_{k}^{(h)}(x)^{m}\in\mathbb{Z}[x],\\ &\frac{(2,m-1,n)}{n(n+1)(n+2)} \sum_{k=1}^{n}(-1)^{k}k^a(k+1)^a(2k+1)S_{k}^{(h)}(x)^{m}\in\mathbb{Z}[x]. \end{align*} Taking a=1a=1 will confirm some of Z.-W. Sun's conjectures.
