Stirling Numbers for Complex Arguments
نویسندگان
چکیده
We define the Stirling numbers for complex values and obtain extensions of certain identities involving these numbers. We also show that the generalization is a natural one for proving unimodality and monotonicity results for these numbers. The definition is based on the Cauchy integral formula and can be used for many other combinatorial numbers.

On Stirling Numbers for Complex Arguments and Hankel Contours
Cauchy coeecient integrals and Hankel contours provide a natural generalization of Stirling numbers for unrestricted complex values of their arguments. Many classical identities survive such an extension.

متن کاملOn Stirling Numbers and Euler Sums
In this paper, we propose the another yet generalization of Stirling numbers of the rst kind for non-integer values of their arguments. We discuss the analytic representations of Stirling numbers through harmonic numbers, the generalized hypergeometric function and the logarithmic beta integral. We present then in nite series involving Stirling numbers and demonstrate how they are related to Eu...
متن کاملStirling Numbers and Generalized Zagreb Indices
We show how generalized Zagreb indices $M_1^k(G)$ can be computed by using a simple graph polynomial and Stirling numbers of the second kind. In that way we explain and clarify the meaning of a triangle of numbers used to establish the same result in an earlier reference.
متن کاملq-Stirling numbers: A new view
We show the classical q-Stirling numbers of the second kind can be expressed more compactly as a pair of statistics on a subset of restricted growth words. The resulting expressions are polynomials in q and 1+q. We extend this enumerative result via a decomposition of a new poset Π(n, k) which we call the Stirling poset of the second kind. Its rank generating function is the q-Stirling number S...
متن کاملModified degenerate Carlitz's $q$-bernoulli polynomials and numbers with weight ($alpha ,beta $)
The main goal of the present paper is to construct some families of the Carlitz's $q$-Bernoulli polynomials and numbers. We firstly introduce the modified Carlitz's $q$-Bernoulli polynomials and numbers with weight ($_{p}$. We then define the modified degenerate Carlitz's $q$-Bernoulli polynomials and numbers with weight ($alpha ,beta $) and obtain some recurrence relations and other identities...
