We give conjectures on the form of families of integer sequences whose Hankel transforms are, respectively, $(\alpha, \beta)$ Somos $4$ sequences, $(\alpha, 0, \gamma)$ Somos $6$ sequences, and $(\alpha, \beta, \gamma, \delta)$ Somos $8$…
In this note, we show that to each elliptic curve of the form $$y^2-axy-y=x^3-bx^2-cx,$$ we can associate a family of lattice paths whose step set is determined by the parameters of the elliptic curve. The enumeration of these lattice paths…
We give recurrence relations for any family of generalized Appell polynomials unifying so some known recurrences of many classical sequences of polynomials. Our main tool to get our goal is the Riordan group. We use the product of Riordan…
We define a three parameter family of Bell pseudo-involutions in the Riordan group. The defining sequences have generating functions that are expressible as continued fractions. We indicate that the Hankel transforms of the defining…
In this note we use the analogy between the Catalan sequence and the Rueppel sequence to derive a variety of conjectures surrounding the Hankel transforms of a number of sequences closely related to the Rueppel sequence. Use is made of the…
We characterize certain Riordan arrays by their $A$-matrices and $\rho$ sequences. We conjecture the form of a generic $A$-matrix which leads to Somos $4$ sequences. We find an $A$-matrix that produces a Riordan quasi-involution, and we…
We consider some bilinear recurrences that have applications in number theory. The explicit solution of a general three-term bilinear recurrence relation of fourth order is given in terms of the Weierstrass sigma function for an associated…
We describe how the reversion of a series is related to convolutional recurrence relations for the series, and we place this relationship in the context of Riordan arrays. As an example of the approach, we give new recurrence relations for…
Using the language of Riordan arrays, we look at two related iterative processes on matrices and determine which matrices are invariant under these processes. In a special case, the invariant sequences that arise are conjectured to have…
Somos 4 sequences are a family of sequences defined by a fourth-order quadratic recurrence relation with constant coefficients. For particular choices of the coefficients and the four initial data, such recurrences can yield sequences of…
The Somos 4 sequences are a family of sequences satisfying a fourth order bilinear recurrence relation. In recent work, one of us has proved that the general term in such sequences can be expressed in terms of the Weierstrass sigma function…
We provide a context around a conjectured closed form for the Hankel transform of linear combinations of consecutive pairs of Catalan numbers. This generalizes the formula for the Hankel transforms of the shifted Catalan numbers and the…
In this (partly expository) paper we give a short overview about the close relationship between the sequence of Catalan numbers and Hankel determinants from the point of view of orthogonal polynomials and show that an analogous situation…
We indicate that given an integer coordinate point on an elliptic curve y^2+axy+by=x^3+cx^2+dx+e we can identify an integer sequence whose Hankel transform is a Somos-4 sequence, and whose Hankel determinants can be used to determine the…
Taking the examples of Legendre and Hermite orthogonal polynomials, we show how to interpret the fact that these orthogonal polynomials are moments of other orthogonal polynomials in terms of their associated Riordan arrays. We use these…
We investigate semi-classical generalizations of the Charlier and Meixner polynomials, which are discrete orthogonal polynomials that satisfy three-term recurrence relations. It is shown that the coefficients in these recurrence relations…
We study the Hankel transforms of sequences related to the central coefficients of a family of Pascal-like triangles. The mechanism of Riordan arrays is used to elucidate the structure of these transforms.
The Raney numbers $R_{p,r}(k)$ are a two-parameter generalization of the Catalan numbers. In this paper, we obtain a recurrence relation for the Raney numbers which is a generalization of the recurrence relation for the Catalan numbers.…
The main object of study in this paper is the well-known Somos-4 recurrence. We prove a theorem that any sequence generated by this equation also satisfies Gale-Robinson one. The corresponding identity is written in terms of its companion…
We show that Laurent biorthogonal polynomials whose defining three-term recurrence have constant coefficients have coefficient arrays that are Riordan arrays. For each such family of Laurent biorthogonal polynomials we associate in a…
