We obtain a general identity involving the row-sums of a Riordan matrix and the harmonic numbers. From this identity, we deduce several particular identities involving numbers of combinatorial interest, such as generalized Fibonacci and Lucas numbers, Catalan numbers, binomial and trinomial coefficients, Stirling numbers. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: Primary: 05A15; Secondary: 05A10.

Just as Fibonacci and Lucas numbers are a great source of fun and excitement for both amateurs and professionals alike (Askey 2005, Koshy 2002), so are the less well-known Catalan numbers. They too are excellent candidates for mathematical activities such as experimentation, exploration, and conjecture. I was surprised to see that, like Fibonacci and Lucas numbers, Catalan numbers seemed to show up in several problems I had assigned to students over the years.

In this paper we focus on r-geometric polynomials, r-exponential polynomials and their harmonic versions. It is shown that harmonic versions of these polynomials and their generalizations are useful to obtain closed forms of some series related to harmonic numbers. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification. 11B73, 11B75, 11B83.

The Mulatu numbers were introduced in [1]. The numbers are sequences of numbers of the form: 4,1,5,6,11,17,28,45... The numbers have wonderful and amazing properties and patterns.In mathematical terms, the sequence ofthe Mulatu numbers is defined by the following recurrence relation:The double Angel Formulas for Fibonacci and Lucas numbers are given by the following formulasrespectively. Mathematical Subject Classification: 11

The main purpose of this paper is to give many new formulas involving the Fibonacci numbers, the golden ratio, the Lucas numbers, and other special numbers. By using generating functions for the special numbers with their functional equations method, we also give many new relations among the Fibonacci numbers, the Lucas numbers, the golden ratio, the Stirling numbers, and other special numbers. Moreover, some applications of the Fibonacci numbers and the golden ratio in chemistry are given.

We prove some finite sum identities involving reciprocals of the binomial and central binomial coefficients, as well as harmonic, Fibonacci and Lucas numbers, some of which recover previously known results, while the others are new.

AbstractIn this paper we give some theoretical explanations related to the representation for the general solution of the system of the higher-order rational difference equations$$\begin{array}{} \displaystyle x_{n+1} = \dfrac{1+2y_{n-k}}{3+y_{n-k}},\qquad y_{n+1} = \dfrac{1+2z_{n-k}}{3+z_{n-k}},\qquad z_{n+1} = \dfrac{1+2x_{n-k}}{3+x_{n-k}}, \end{array}$$where n, k∈ ℕ0, the initial values x−k, x−k+1, …, x0, y−k, y−k+1, …, y0, z−k, z−k+1, …, z1 and z0 are arbitrary real numbers do not equal −3. This system can be solved in a closed-form and we will see that the solutions are expressed using the famous Fibonacci and Lucas numbers.

Observations of the sunflower Helianthus tuberosus reveal the occurrence of both Fibonacci and Lucas numbers of visible spirals (parastichies). This species is multi-headed, allowing a quantitative study of the relative abundance of these two types of phyllotaxis. The florets follow a spiral arrangement. It is remarkable that the Lucas series occurred, almost invariably, in the first-flowering heads of individual plants. The occurrence of left-and right-handed chirality was found to be random, within experimental error, using an appropriate chirality convention. Quantitative crystallographic studies allow the average growth law to be derived (r = alτ−1; θ = 2πl/(τ + 1), where a is a constant, l is the seed cell number and τ is the golden mean [Formula: see text]). They also reveal departures from classical theoretical models of phyllotaxis, taking the form of persistent oscillations in both divergence angle and radius. The experimental results are discussed in terms of a new theoretical model for the close-packing of growing discs. Finally, a basis for synthesis of (inorganic) spiral lattice structures is proposed.

A set partition of size $n$ is a collection of disjoint blocks $B_1,B_2,\ldots$, $B_d$ whose union is the set $[n]=\{1,2,\ldots,n\}$. We choose the ordering of the blocks so that they satisfy $\min B_1 < \min B_2 < \cdots < \min B_d$. We represent such a set partition by a canonical sequence $\pi_1,\pi_2,\ldots,\pi_n$, with $\pi_i=j$ if $i\in B_j$. We say that a partition $\pi$ contains a partition $\sigma$ if the canonical sequence of $\pi$ contains a subsequence that is order-isomorphic to the canonical sequence of $\sigma$. Two partitions $\sigma$ and $\sigma'$ are equivalent, if there is a size-preserving bijection between $\sigma$-avoiding and $\sigma'$-avoiding partitions. We determine all the equivalence classes of partitions of size at most $7$. This extends previous work of Sagan, who described the equivalence classes of partitions of size at most $3$. Our classification is largely based on several new infinite families of pairs of equivalent patterns. For instance, we prove that there is a bijection between $k$-noncrossing and $k$-nonnesting partitions, with a notion of crossing and nesting based on the canonical sequence. Our results also yield new combinatorial interpretations of the Catalan numbers and the Stirling numbers.
