Riordan-Bernstein Polynomials, Hankel Transforms and Somos Sequences
نویسنده
چکیده
Using the language of Riordan arrays, we define a notion of generalized Bernstein polynomials which are defined as elements of certain Riordan arrays. We characterize the general elements of these arrays, and examine the Hankel transform of the row sums and the first columns of these arrays. We propose conditions under which these Hankel transforms possess the Somos-4 property. We use the generalized Bernstein polynomials to define generalized Bézier curves which can provide a visualization of the effect of the defining Riordan array.

Generalized Catalan Numbers, Hankel Transforms and Somos-4 Sequences
We study families of generalized Catalan numbers, defined by convolution recurrence equations. We explore their relations to series reversion, Riordan array transforms, and in a special case, to Somos-4 sequences via the mechanism of the Hankel transform.
متن کاملCombinatorial Polynomials as Moments, Hankel Transforms, and Exponential Riordan Arrays
In the case of two combinatorial polynomials, we show that they can exhibited as moments of paramaterized families of orthogonal polynomials, and hence derive their Hankel transforms. Exponential Riordan arrays are the main vehicles used for this.
متن کاملEulerian Polynomials as Moments, via Exponential Riordan Arrays
Using the theory of exponential Riordan arrays and orthogonal polynomials, we demonstrate that the Eulerian polynomials and the shifted Eulerian polynomials are moment sequences for a simple family of orthogonal polynomials. The coefficient arrays of these families of orthogonal polynomials are shown to be exponential Riordan arrays. Using the theory of orthogonal polynomials we are then able t...
متن کاملA Study of Integer Sequences, Riordan Arrays, Pascal-like Arrays and Hankel Transforms
We study integer sequences and transforms that operate on them. Many of these transforms are defined by triangular arrays of integers, with a particular focus on Riordan arrays and Pascal-like arrays. In order to explore the structure of these transforms, use is made of methods coming from the theory of continued fractions, hypergeometric functions, orthogonal polynomials and most importantly f...
متن کاملMeixner-Type Results for Riordan Arrays and Associated Integer Sequences
We determine which (ordinary) Riordan arrays are the coefficient arrays of a family of orthogonal polynomials. In so doing, we are led to introduce a family of polynomials, which includes the Boubaker polynomials, and a scaled version of the Chebyshev polynomials, using the techniques of Riordan arrays. We classify these polynomials in terms of the Chebyshev polynomials of the first and second ...
