Alternating Sums in the Hosoya Polynomial Triangle
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Hosoya polynomial triangle is a triangular arrangement of polynomials where each entry is a product of two polynomials. The geometry of this triangle is a good 1 tool to study the algebraic properties of polynomial products. In particular, we find closed formulas for the alternating sum of products of polynomials such as Fibonacci polynomials, Chebyshev polynomials, Morgan-Voyce polynomials, Lucas polynomials, Pell polynomials, Fermat polynomials, Jacobsthal polynomials, and other familiar sequences of polynomials.

Catalan Triangle Numbers and Binomial Coefficients
The binomial coefficients and Catalan triangle numbers appear as weight multiplicities of the finite-dimensional simple Lie algebras and affine Kac–Moody algebras. We prove that any binomial coefficient can be written as weighted sums along rows of the Catalan triangle. The coefficients in the sums form a triangular array, which we call the alternating Jacobsthal triangle. We study various subs...
متن کاملOn the Roots of Hosoya Polynomial of a Graph
Let G = (V, E) be a simple graph. Hosoya polynomial of G is d(u,v) H(G, x) = {u,v}V(G)x , where, d(u ,v) denotes the distance between vertices u and v. As is the case with other graph polynomials, such as chromatic, independence and domination polynomial, it is natural to study the roots of Hosoya polynomial of a graph. In this paper we study the roots of Hosoya polynomials of some specific g...
متن کاملHosoya polynomials of random benzenoid chains
Let $G$ be a molecular graph with vertex set $V(G)$, $d_G(u, v)$ the topological distance between vertices $u$ and $v$ in $G$. The Hosoya polynomial $H(G, x)$ of $G$ is a polynomial $sumlimits_{{u, v}subseteq V(G)}x^{d_G(u, v)}$ in variable $x$. In this paper, we obtain an explicit analytical expression for the expected value of the Hosoya polynomial of a random benzenoid chain with $n$ hexagon...
متن کاملSome New Results On the Hosoya Polynomial of Graph Operations
The Wiener index is a graph invariant that has found extensive application in chemistry. In addition to that a generating function, which was called the Wiener polynomial, who’s derivate is a q-analog of the Wiener index was defined. In an article, Sagan, Yeh and Zhang in [The Wiener Polynomial of a graph, Int. J. Quantun Chem., 60 (1996), 959969] attained what graph operations do to the Wiene...
متن کاملCongruences for a Class of Alternating Lacunary Sums of Binomial Coefficients
An 1876 theorem of Hermite, later extended by Bachmann, gives congruences modulo primes for lacunary sums over the rows of Pascal’s triangle. This paper gives an analogous result for alternating sums over a certain class of rows. The proof makes use of properties of certain linear recurrences.
