Generalized Catalan Numbers, Hankel Transforms and Somos-4 Sequences

چکیده
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.

Riordan-Bernstein Polynomials, Hankel Transforms and Somos Sequences
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 gener...
متن کاملGeneralized Catalan Numbers and Generalized Hankel Transformations
so that an is the sum of the n th and n + 1 Catalan numbers. Then the Hankel transform of {a0, a1, a2, . . .} begins 2, 5, 13, 34, . . .. Layman first conjectured in the On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences ([4], see sequence A001906) that this sequence consists of every other Fibonacci number, and subsequently Cvetković, Rajković and Ivković [2] proved this conjecture. The current paper a...
متن کاملSome conjectures on the ratio of Hankel transforms for sequences and series reversion
The Hankel transform for sequences (defined below) has attracted an increasing amount of attention in recent years. The paper [4] situated its study within the mainstream of research into integer sequences, while papers such as [2] hinted at how the study of certain Hankel transforms can lead to results concerning classical sequences. That paper exploited a link between continued fractions and ...
متن کاملOn a Generalization of the Narayana Triangle
By studying various ways of describing the Narayana triangle, we provide a number of generalizations of this triangle and study some of their properties. In some cases, the diagonal sums of these triangles provide examples of Somos-4 sequences via their Hankel transforms.
متن کاملToeplitz transforms of Fibonacci sequences
We introduce a matricial Toeplitz transform and prove that the Toeplitz transform of a second order recurrence sequence is another second order recurrence sequence. We investigate the injectivity of this transform and show how this distinguishes the Fibonacci sequence among other recurrence sequences. We then obtain new Fibonacci identities as an application of our transform.
