Convolution Identities of Stirling Numbers

Combinatorics 2024-04-16 v1

Abstract

By means of the generating function method, a linear recurrence relation is explicitly resolved. The solution is expressed in terms of the Stirling numbers of both the first and the second kind. Two remarkable pairs of combinatorial identities are established as applications, that contain some well-known convolution formulae on Stirling numbers as special cases.
