Abstract. We first establish the result that the Narayana polynomials can be represented as the integrals of the Legendre polynomials. Then we represent the Catalan numbers in terms of the Narayana polynomials by three different identities. We give three different proofs for these identities, namely, two algebraic proofs and one combinatorial proof. Some applications are also given which lead t...
متن کاملCurious Relations and Identities Involving the Catalan Generating Function and Numbers
Riordan matrix methods and manipulation of various generating functions are used to find curious relations among the Catalan, central binomial, and RNA generating functions. In addition, the Wilf-Zeilberger method is used to find identities where the gamma function and Catalan numbers are expressed in terms of the Gauss hypergeometric function. As a consequence of the identities, new recurrence...
متن کاملGeneralized Catalan numbers and the enumeration of planar embeddings
The Raney numbers Rp,r(k) are a two-parameter generalization of the Catalan numbers that were introduced by Raney in his investigation of functional composition patterns. We give a new combinatorial interpretation for the Raney numbers in terms of planar embeddings of certain collections of trees, a construction that recovers the usual interpretation of the p-Catalan numbers in terms of p-ary t...

We provide some variations on the Greene-Krammer's identity which involve q-Catalan numbers. Our method reveals a curious analogy between these new identities and some congruences modulo a prime.
