The (t,q)-Analogs of Secant and Tangent Numbers
نویسندگان
چکیده
To Doron Zeilberger, with our warmest regards, on the occasion of his sixtieth birthday. Abstract. The secant and tangent numbers are given (t, q)-analogs with an explicit com-binatorial interpretation. This extends, both analytically and combinatorially, the classical evaluations of the Eulerian and Roselle polynomials at t = −1.

Multivariable Tangent and Secant q-derivative polynomials
The derivative polynomials introduced by Knuth and Buckholtz in their calculations of the tangent and secant numbers are extended to a multivariable q– environment. The n-th q-derivatives of the classical q-tangent and q-secant are each given two polynomial expressions. The first polynomial expression is indexed by triples of integers, the second by compositions of integers. The functional rela...
متن کاملCOMBINATORICS OF GEOMETRICALLY DISTRIBUTED RANDOM VARIABLES: NEW q-TANGENT AND q-SECANT NUMBERS
Up-down permutations are counted by tangent (respectively, secant) numbers. Considering words instead, where the letters are produced by independent geometric distributions, there are several ways of introducing this concept; in the limit they all coincide with the classical version. In this way, we get some new q-tangent and q-secant functions. Some of them also have nice continued fraction ex...
متن کاملTHE q-TANGENT AND q-SECANT NUMBERS VIA BASIC EULERIAN POLYNOMIALS
The classical identity that relates Eulerian polynomials to tangent numbers together with the parallel result dealing with secant numbers is given a q-extension, both analytically and combinatorially. The analytic proof is based on a recent result by Shareshian and Wachs and the combinatorial one on the geometry of alternating permutations.

متن کاملThe q-tangent and q-secant numbers via continued fractions
It is well known that the (−1)-evaluation of the enumerator polynomials of permutations (resp. derangements) by the number of excedances gives rise to tangent numbers (resp. secant numbers). Recently, two distinct q-analogues of the latter result have been discovered by Foata and Han, and Josuat-Vergès, respectively. In this paper, we will prove some general continued fractions expansions formu...
