Catalan transform of \(k\)-balancing sequences (Q2119863)

Summary: In this work, the Catalan transformation (CT) of \(k\)-balancing sequences, \(\left\{B_{k, n}\right\}_{n \geq 0}\), is introduced. Furthermore, the obtained Catalan transformation \(\left\{C B_{k, n}\right\}_{n \geq 0}\) was shown as the product of lower triangular matrices called Catalan matrices and the matrix of \(k\)-balancing sequences, \(\left\{B_{k, n}\right\}_{n \geq 0}\), which is an \(n\times 1\) matrix. Apart from that, the Hankel transform is applied further to calculate the determinant of the matrices formed from \(\left\{C B_{k, n}\right\}_{n \geq 0}\).
