Hyperbinary expansions and Stern polynomials

From MaRDI portal
Publication:2344826





Summary: We introduce an infinite class of polynomial sequences \(a_t(n;z)\) with integer~parameter \(t\geq 1\), which reduce to the well-known Stern (diatomic) sequence when \(z=1\) and are \((0,1)\)-polynomials when \(t\geq 2\).~Using these polynomial sequences, we derive two different characterizations~of all hyperbinary expansions of an integer \(n\geq 1\). Furthermore,~we study the polynomials \(a_t(n;z)\) as objects in their own right,~obtaining a generating function and some consequences. We also prove results on the structure of these sequences, and determine~expressions for the degrees of the polynomials.
