Abstract

In a previous paper, Mihoubi et al. introduced the (r1,...,rp)(r_{1},...,r_{p}) -Stirling numbers and the (r1,...,rp)(r_{1},...,r_{p}) -Bell polynomials and gave some of their combinatorial and algebraic properties. These numbers and polynomials generalize, respectively, the rr-Stirling numbers of the second kind introduced by Broder and the rr-Bell polynomials introduced by Mez\H{o}. In this paper, we prove that the (r1,...,rp)(r_{1},...,r_{p}) -Stirling numbers of the second kind are log-concave. We also give generating functions and generalized recurrences related to the (r1,...,rp)(r_{1},...,r_{p}) -Bell polynomials.
