Some results on Whitney numbers of Dowling lattices
In this paper, we study some properties of Whitney numbers of Dowling lattices and related polynomials. We answer the following question: there is a relation between Stirling and Eulerian polynomials. Can we find a new relation between Dowling polynomials and other polynomials generalizing Eulerian polynomials? In addition, some congruences for the Dowling numbers are given. Mathematics Subject...
متن کاملA note on the r-Whitney numbers of Dowling lattices
The complete and elementary symmetric functions are specializations of Schur functions. In this paper, we use this fact to give two identities for the complete and elementary symmetric functions. This result can be used to proving and discovering some algebraic identities involving rWhitney and other special numbers.
متن کاملBell Numbers, Log-concavity, and Log-convexity
Let fb k (n)g 1 n=0 be the Bell numbers of order k. It is proved that the sequence fb k (n)=n!g 1 n=0 is log-concave and the sequence fb k (n)g 1 n=0 is log-convex, or equivalently, the following inequalities hold for all n 0, 1 b k (n + 2)b k (n) b k (n + 1) 2 n + 2 n + 1 : Let f(n)g 1 n=0 be a sequence of positive numbers with (0) = 1. We show that if f(n)g 1 n=0 is log-convex, then (n)(m) (n...
متن کاملLog-concavity of Stirling Numbers and Unimodality of Stirling Distributions
A series of inequalities involving Stirling numbers of the first and second kinds with adjacent indices are obtained. Some of them show log-concavity of Stirling numbers in three different directions. The inequalities are used to prove unimodality or strong unimodality of all the subfamilies of Stirling probability functions. Some additional applications are also presented.
متن کاملOn Log-concavity of a Class of Generalized Stirling Numbers
This paper considers the generalized Stirling numbers of the first and second kinds. First, we show that the sequences of the above generalized Stirling numbers are both log-concave under some mild conditions. Then, we show that some polynomials related to the above generalized Stirling numbers are q-log-concave or q-log-convex under suitable conditions. We further discuss the log-convexity of ...
