The \(1/k\)-Eulerian polynomials of type \(B\) (Q785577)

Summary: In this paper, we define the \(1/k\)-Eulerian polynomials of type \(B\). Properties of these polynomials, including combinatorial interpretations, recurrence relations and \(\gamma\)-positivity are studied. In particular, we show that the \(1/k\)-Eulerian polynomials of type \(B\) are \(\gamma \)-positive when \(k>0\). Moreover, we define the \(1/k\)-derangement polynomials of type \(B\), denoted \(d_n^B(x;k)\). We show that the polynomials \(d_n^B(x;k)\) are bi-\(\gamma\)-positive when \(k\geq 1/2\). In particular, we get a symmetric decomposition of the polynomials \(d_n^B(x;1/2)\) in terms of the classical derangement polynomials.
