In this work we count the number of involutory, unimodal, and alternating elements of the group of signed permutations Bn, and the group of even-signed permutations Dn. Recurrence relations, generating functions, and explicit formulas of the enumerating sequences are given. © 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. MSC: primary: 05A15; secondary: 05A19; 05A05

Let [T (n, k)]n,k>0 be a triangle of positive numbers satisfying the three-term recurrence relation T (n, k) = (a1n + a2k + a3)T (n− 1, k) + (b1n + b2k + b3)T (n− 1, k − 1). In this paper, we give a new sufficient condition for linear transformations

In this paper we solve several recurrence relations with two (three) indices using combinatorial methods. Moreover, we present several recurrence relations with two (three) indices related to ternary paths and k-ary paths. © 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. MSC: 10A35; 65Q05; 05.10

Let {φn} be a sequence of rational functions with arbitrary complex poles, generated by a certain three-term recurrence relation. In this paper we show that under some mild conditions, the rational functions φn form an orthonormal system with respect to a Hermitian positive-definite inner product.

In 1.1 , the given real sequences {pn}, {qn} satisfy pn T pn > 0, qn T qn for any n ∈ Z, f : Z×R → R is continuous in the second variable, and f n T, z f n, z for a given positive integer T and for all n, z ∈ Z×R. −1 δ −1, δ > 0, and δ is the ratio of odd positive integers. By a solution of 1.1 , we mean a real sequence x {xn}, n ∈ Z, satisfying 1.1 . In 1, 2 , the qualitative behavior of linea...
