Combin. 29 (2008), no. 2, 514--531) studied a $(p,q)$-analogue of the classical Eulerian polynomials $A_n(p,q,t)$ and conjectured that its $\\gamma$-coefficient $a_{n,k}(p,q)$ is divisible by $(p+q)^k$. The aim of this paper is to show that the quotient $d_{n,k}(p,q):=a_{n,k}(p,q)/(p+q)^k$ is the enumerative polynomial of Andr\\'e permutations of the second kind of size $n$ with $k$ descents. In addition, our result leads to a combinatorial model for G.-N. Han's recent $q$-Euler numbers (arXiv:1906.00103v1).", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-10-03T22:15:22.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "coefficient", "classical eulerian polynomials", "andre permutations", "second kind", "combinatorial model" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
