Exponential-type extended Riordan arrays and reciprocity law for generalized Stirling numbers (Q6173927)

For real numbers $\alpha,\beta$ and $\gamma$ define \[ p_{\alpha,\gamma}(x)=\sum_{i=0}^{\infty} \frac{(\gamma|\alpha)_i}{i!}x^i,\quad q_{\alpha,\beta}(x)=\sum_{j=1}^{\infty}\frac{(\beta-\alpha|\alpha)_{j-1}}{j!}x^j, \] where $(c|\alpha)_n=c(c-\alpha)(c-2\alpha)\cdots(c-(n-1)\alpha).$ For any integer $k$ let \[ \lfloor k\rceil!=\begin{cases} \frac{(-1)^{k+1}}{(-k-1)!}&\text{ if }k<0,\\ k!&\text{ if }k\ge 0.\end{cases} \] For integers $n$ and $k$, the generalized Stirling numbers $S(n,k;$ $\alpha,\beta,\gamma)$ are defined by \[ \frac 1{\lfloor k\rceil!} p_{\alpha,\gamma}(x)q_{\alpha,\beta}(x)^k =\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{S(n,k;\alpha,\beta,\gamma)}{\lfloor n\rceil!}x^n. \] In the paper, the authors mainly investigate the properties of $S(n,k;$ $\alpha,\beta,\gamma)$. As examples, they show that for $n\ge k\ge 0$, \begin{align*} S(n,k;&\alpha,\beta,\gamma)=\sum_{i=k}^n\frac{\lfloor n\rceil!}{(n-i)!\lfloor i\rceil!} (\gamma|\alpha)_{n-i}S(i,k;\alpha,\beta,0) \\ &\quad\quad\quad=\sum_{j=k}^n\frac{\lfloor j\rceil!}{(j-k)!\lfloor k\rceil!} (\gamma|\beta)_{j-k}S(n,j;\alpha,\beta,0),\\ &\sum_{j=k}^nS(n,j;\alpha,\beta,\gamma)S(j,k;\beta,\alpha,-\gamma)=\delta_{n,k}, \end{align*} where $\delta_{n,k}$ is the Kronecker symbol, and for $n\ge k\ge 1$, \begin{align*} S(n+1,k;\alpha,\beta,\gamma)=&(-\alpha n+\beta k+\gamma)S(n,k;\alpha,\beta,\gamma)\\ &+ S(n,k-1;\alpha,\beta,\gamma). \end{align*}
