On Unimodality Problems in Pascal's Triangle

چکیده
Many sequences of binomial coefficients share various unimodality properties. In this paper we consider the unimodality problem of a sequence of binomial coefficients located in a ray or a transversal of the Pascal triangle. Our results give in particular an affirmative answer to a conjecture of Belbachir et al which asserts that such a sequence of binomial coefficients must be unimodal. We also propose two more general conjectures.

Sierpinski’s Triangle and the Prouhet-Thue-Morse Word
Sierpinski's triangle is a fractal and the Prouhet-Thue-Morse word is suÆciently chaotic to avoid cubes. Here we observe that there is at least a tenuous connection between them: the Sierpinski triangle is evident in Pascal's triangle mod 2 whose inverse, as an in nite lower-triangular matrix, involves the Prouhet-Thue-Morse word. Pascal's triangle mod 2 (Fig. 1b) is a discrete version of the f...
متن کاملGeometry of Binomial Coefficients
This note describes the geometrical pattern of zeroes and ones obtained by reducing modulo two each element of Pascal's triangle formed from binomial coefficients. When an infinite number of rows of Pascal's triangle are included, the limiting pattern is found to be "self-similar," and is characterized by a "fractal dimension" log2 3. Analysis of the pattern provides a simple derivation of the ...

In this paper a new method to construct zero cross correlation code with the help of Pascal's triangle pattern called Pascal's Triangle Matrix Code (PTMC) for Spectral Amplitude Coding Optical Code Division Multiple Access (SAC-OCDMA) system is successfully developed. The advantages of this code are simplicity of code construction, flexibility of choosing code weight and number of users. The nu...
متن کاملOn Some Number Sequences Related to the Parity of Binomial Coefficients
It is well known that striking patterns of triangles can be produced from Pascal's triangle by replacing each binomial coefficient by its residue with respect to a certain modulus. The arrays thus produced were considered by various authors; see, for instance, Gould [5], Gardner [1], Long [10], or Sved [17]. For example, Pascal's triangle mod 2 (Fig. 1) is the array of zeros and ones obtained b...
متن کاملOn Some Properties of Fibonacci Diagonals in Pascal's Triangle
Although it has been studied extensively, Pascal's triangle remains fascinating to explore and there always seems to be some new aspects that are revealed by looking at it closely. In this paper we shall examine a few nice properties of the so-called Fibonacci diagonals, that is, those slant lines whose entries sum to consecutive terms of the Fibonacci sequence. We adopt throughout our text the...
