Riordan arrays and the Abel-Gould identity (Q1896358): Difference between revisions

Riordan arrays were introduced in [\textit{L. V. Shapiro}, \textit{S. Getu}, \textit{W.-J. Woan} and \textit{L. C. Woodson}, The Riordan group, Discrete Appl. Math. 34, No. 1-3, 229-239 (1991; Zbl 0754.05010)] and further developed by the author of the present paper in a previous work [the author, Riordan arrays and combinatorial sums, Discrete Math. 132, No. 1- 3, 267-290 (1994; Zbl 0814.05003)]. Here the author uses the Lagrange inversion formula and his previous results to obtain a general formula from which the so-called Abel-Gould identity and many other identities, including some involving Stirling numbers of both kinds, fall out as special cases.
