The sequences involved can be described in terms of the application of certain stretched Riordan arrays to the Catalan numbers, accompanied by a (sequence) Hankel transform. The combination of Riordan array and the Catalan numbers results from the study of certain generalized Jacobi continued fractions, based on the Counting Automata Methodology.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2022-11-22T23:52:28.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "11B37", "05A15", "15B36", "11A55", "15A15", "15B05" ], "keywords": [ "conjectures", "hankel transform", "catalan numbers results", "generalized jacobi continued fractions", "stretched riordan arrays" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 13, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
