Note on Ward-Horadam H(x) - binomials' recurrences and related interpretations, II
We deliver here second new recurrence formula,
were array is appointed by sequence of
functions which in predominantly considered cases where chosen to be
polynomials . Secondly, we supply a review of selected related combinatorial
interpretations of generalized binomial coefficients. We then propose also a
kind of transfer of interpretation of coefficients onto
coefficients interpretations thus bringing us back to
and Donald Ervin Knuth relevant investigation decades
ago.Comment: 57 pages, 8 figure
Crystal constructions in Number Theory
Weyl group multiple Dirichlet series and metaplectic Whittaker functions can
be described in terms of crystal graphs. We present crystals as parameterized
by Littelmann patterns and we give a survey of purely combinatorial
constructions of prime power coefficients of Weyl group multiple Dirichlet
series and metaplectic Whittaker functions using the language of crystal
graphs. We explore how the branching structure of crystals manifests in these
constructions, and how it allows access to some intricate objects in number
theory and related open questions using tools of algebraic combinatorics
Stacked polytopes and tight triangulations of manifolds
Tightness of a triangulated manifold is a topological condition, roughly
meaning that any simplexwise linear embedding of the triangulation into
euclidean space is "as convex as possible". It can thus be understood as a
generalization of the concept of convexity. In even dimensions,
super-neighborliness is known to be a purely combinatorial condition which
implies the tightness of a triangulation.
Here we present other sufficient and purely combinatorial conditions which
can be applied to the odd-dimensional case as well. One of the conditions is
that all vertex links are stacked spheres, which implies that the triangulation
is in Walkup's class . We show that in any dimension
\emph{tight-neighborly} triangulations as defined by Lutz, Sulanke and Swartz
are tight.
Furthermore, triangulations with -stacked vertex links and the centrally
symmetric case are discussed.Comment: 28 pages, 2 figure
