We show that Stieltjes moment sequences are infinitely log-convex, which parallels a famous result that (finite) P\'olya frequency sequences are infinitely log-concave. We introduce the concept of $q$-Stieltjes moment sequences of…
Based on the Stirling triangle of the second kind, the Whitney triangle of the second kind and one triangle of Riordan, we study a Stirling-Whitney-Riordan triangle $[T_{n,k}]_{n,k}$ satisfying the recurrence relation: \begin{eqnarray*}…
We give a continued-fraction characterization of Stieltjes moment sequences for which there exists a representing measure with support in $[\xi, \infty)$. The proof is elementary.
A small set of combinatorial sequences have coefficients that can be represented as moments of a nonnegative measure on $[0, \infty)$. Such sequences are known as Stieltjes moment sequences. This article focuses on some classical sequences…
We study the triangular array defined by the Graham--Knuth--Patashnik recurrence $T(n,k) = (\alpha n + \beta k + \gamma)\, T(n-1,k)+(\alpha' n + \beta' k + \gamma') \, T(n-1,k-1)$ with initial condition $T(0,k) = \delta_{k0}$ and parameters…
$q$-deformed real numbers are power series with integer coefficients. We study Stieltjes and Jacobi type continued fraction expansions of $q$-deformed real numbers and find many new examples of such continued fractions. We also investigate…
The spectral data of a vibrating string are encoded in its so-called characteristic function. We consider the problem of recovering the distribution of mass along the string from its characteristic function. It is well-known that Stieltjes'…
The study of combinatorial properties of mathematical objects is a very important research field and continued fractions have been deeply studied in this sense. However, multidimensional continued fractions, which are a generalization…
We show that if a permutation statistic can be written as a linear combination of bivincular patterns, then its moments can be expressed as a linear combination of factorials with constant coefficients. This generalizes a result of…
We find Stieltjes-type and Jacobi-type continued fractions for some "master polynomials" that enumerate permutations, set partitions or perfect matchings with a large (sometimes infinite) number of simultaneous statistics. Our results…
The practical usefulness of Levin-type nonlinear sequence transformations as numerical tools for the summation of divergent series or for the convergence acceleration of slowly converging series, is nowadays beyond dispute. Weniger's…
We consider analytic continuations of Fourier transforms and Stieltjes transforms. This enables us to define what we call complex moments for some class of probability measures which do not have moments in the usual sense. There are two…
We employ some results about continued fraction expansions of Herglotz-Nevanlinna functions to characterize the spectral data of generalized indefinite strings of Stieltjes type. In particular, this solves the corresponding inverse spectral…
For any integer $k\geq 1,$ define $L_k: \mathbb{R}^\mathbb{N}\to \mathbb{R}^\mathbb{N}$ by $(a_n)_{n\in\mathbb{N}}\mapsto (a'_n)_{n\in\mathbb{N}}$ where $a'_n=\det(a_{n+i+j})_{i,j=0}^{k-1}$. Previously, Zhu showed that $L_k$ preserves the…
We construct new continued fraction expansions of Jacobi-type J-fractions in $z$ whose power series expansions generate the ratio of the $q$-Pochhamer symbols, $(a; q)_n / (b; q)_n$, for all integers $n \geq 0$ and where $a,b,q \in…
We consider the limit periodic continued fractions of Stieltjes $$ \frac{1}{1-} \frac{g_1 z}{1-} \frac{g_2(1-g_1) z}{1-} \frac{g_3(1-g_2)z}{1-...,}, z\in \mathbb C, g_i\in(0,1), \lim\limits_{i\to \infty} g_i=1/2, \quad (1) $$ appearing as…
In this paper, we investigate certain combinatorial numbers, the \textit{moment generating Stirling numbers}. They are a special case of Hsu's generalized Stirling numbers and satisfy many more properties and combinatorial identities than…
A D-permutation is a permutation of $[2n]$ satisfying $2k-1 \le \sigma(2k-1)$ and $2k \ge \sigma(2k)$ for all $k$; they provide a combinatorial model for the Genocchi and median Genocchi numbers. We find Stieltjes-type and Thron-type…
A permutation is said to be cycle-alternating if it has no cycle double rises, cycle double falls or fixed points; thus each index $i$ is either a cycle valley ($\sigma^{-1}(i)>i<\sigma(i)$) or a cycle peak ($\sigma^{-1}(i)<i>\sigma(i)$).…
We give (necessary and sufficient) conditions over a sequence $\left\{ f_{n}\right\} _{n=0}^{\infty}$ of functions under which every generalized Stieltjes moment problem \[ \int_{0}^{\infty} f_{n}(x)\phi(x)\mathrm{d} x=a_{n}, \ \ \…
