We investigate the Hankel transforms of many of the recurrence solutions, and indicate that Somos $4$ sequences often arise. We exhibit relations between recurrences, Riordan arrays, elliptic curves and Somos $4$ sequences. We furthermore indicate how one can associate a family of orthogonal polynomials to a point on an elliptic curve, whose moments are related to recurrence solutions.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-10-02T11:01:32.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "11B37", "11B83", "15B36", "11B37", "05A15", "11Y55", "14H52", "42C05", "11B83", "15B36", "11B37", "05A15", "11Y55", "14H52", "42C05" ], "keywords": [ "riordan arrays", "elliptic curve", "generalized catalan recurrences", "orthogonal polynomials", "recurrence solutions" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 44, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
