چکیده

The purpose of this paper is twofold. As the first goal, we show that three different classes of random walks are counted by the Pell numbers. The calculations are done using a convenient technique that involves the Riordan group. This leads to the second goal, which is to demonstrate this convenient technique. We also construct bijections among Pell, certain Motzkin, and certain Schröder walks. As a consequence of using these Riordan group methods, we also find unexpected connections to a special class of Riordan matrices called Schröder matrices.

The Generalized Pascal Matrix via the Generalized Fibonacci Matrix and the Generalized Pell Matrix

In [4], the authors studied the Pascal matrix and the Stirling matrices of the first kind and the second kind via the Fibonacci matrix. In this paper, we consider generalizations of Pascal matrix, Fibonacci matrix and Pell matrix. And, by using Riordan method, we have factorizations of them. We, also, consider some combinatorial identities.

k-Pell, k-Pell-Lucas and Modified k-Pell Numbers: Some Identities and Norms of Hankel Matrices

In this paper we present some identities involving terms of k-Pell, k-Pell-Lucas and Modified k-Pell sequences. We also give some results on the column and row norms of Hankel matrices which entries are numbers of these sequences. Mathematics Subject Classification: 11B37, 11B83, 15A60

On The Usual Fibonacci and Generalized Order-k Pell Numbers

In this paper, we give some relations involving the usual Fibonacci and generalized order-k Pell numbers. These relations show that the generalized order-k Pell numbers can be expressed as the summation of the usual Fibonacci numbers. We …nd families of Hessenberg matrices such that the permanents of these matrices are the usual Fibonacci numbers, F2i 1; and their sums. Also extending these mat...
