On certain combinatorial expansions of the Legendre-Stirling numbers

Shi-Mei Ma, Jun Ma, Yeong-Nan Yeh

Published 2018-05-28Version 1

The Legendre-Stirling numbers of the second kind were introduced by Everitt et al. in the spectral theory of powers of the Legendre differential expressions. In this paper, we provide a combinatorial code for Legendre-Stirling set partitions. As an application, we obtain combinatorial expansions of the Legendre-Stirling numbers of both kinds. Moreover, we present grammatical descriptions of the Jacobi-Stirling numbers of both kinds.
