We give combinatorial proofs of q-Stirling identities using restricted growth words.  This includes a poset theoretic proof of Carlitz's identity, a new proof of the q-Frobenius identity of Garsia and Remmel and of Ehrenborg's Hankel q-Stirling determinantal identity.  We also develop a two parameter generalization to unify identities of Mercier and include a symmetric function version.

Two Parameter

The two parameter family of coefficients $K_{\lambda \mu}(q,t)$ introduced by Macdonald are conjectured to $(q,t)$ count the standard tableaux of shape $\lambda $. If this conjecture is correct, then there exist statistics $a_\mu(T)$ and $b_\mu(T)$ such that the family of symmetric functions $H_\mu[X;q,t] = \sum_\lambda K_{\lambda \mu}(q,t) s_\lambda [X]$ are generating functions for the standard tableaux of size $|\mu|$ in the sense that $H_\mu[X;q,t] = \sum_{T} q^{a_\mu(T)} t^{b_\mu(T)} s_{\lambda (T)}[X]$ where the sum is over standard tableau of of size $|\mu|$. We give a formula for a symmetric function operator $H_2^{qt}$ with the property that $H_2^{qt} H_{(2^a1^b)}[X;q,t]= H_{(2^{a+1}1^b)}[X;q,t]$. This operator has a combinatorial action on the Schur function basis. We use this Schur function action to show by induction that $H_{(2^a1^b)}[X;q,t]$ is the generating function for standard tableaux of size $2a+b$ (and hence that $K_{\lambda (2^a1^b)}(q,t)$ is a polynomial with non-negative integer coefficients). The inductive proof gives an algorithm for 'building' the standard tableaux of size $n+2$ from the standard tableaux of size $n$ and divides the standard tableaux into classes that are generalizations of the catabolism type. We show that reversing this construction gives the statistics $a_\mu(T)$ and $b_\mu(T)$ when $\mu$ is of the form $(2^a1^b)$ and that these statistics prove conjectures about the relationship between adjacent rows of the $(q,t)$-Kostka matrix that were suggested by Lynne Butler.

We provide a vertex operator realization for a two-parameter generalization of MacMahon’s formula introduced by M. Vuletić [Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 361, 2789 (2009)]. Since the generalized MacMahon function is the kernel function of some Macdonald symmetric function, we consider the action of two vertex operators on a state corresponding to a Macdonald symmetric function. It becomes evident that the vertex operators appear to be the creation and annihilation operators, respectively on the state.

We introduce and develop a two-parameter chromatic symmetric function for a simple graph $G$ over the field of rational functions in $q$ and $t,\,{\Bbb Q}(q,t)$. We derive its expansion in terms of the monomial symmetric functions, $m_{\lambda}$, and present various correlation properties which exist between the two-parameter chromatic symmetric function and its corresponding graph. Additionally, for the complete graph $G$ of order $n$, its corresponding two-parameter chromatic symmetric function is the Macdonald polynomial $Q_{(n)}$. Using this, we develop graphical analogues for the expansion formulas of the two-row Macdonald polynomials and the two-row Jack symmetric functions. Finally, we introduce the "complement" of this new function and explore some of its properties.

Several years ago a three-parameter system of stellar classification has been proposed (1, 2), for the early-type stars (O-G): it was an improvement on the two-parameter system described by Barbier and Chalonge (3).

Summary: Different shapes of individual subjective discount functions were compared using real measures of willingness to accept future monetary outcomes in an experiment. The two-parameter hyperbolic discount function described the data better than three alternative one-parameter discount functions. However, the hyperbolic discount functions did not explain the common difference effect better than the classical discount function. Discount functions were also estimated from survey data of Dutch households who reported their willingness to postpone positive and negative amounts. Future positive amounts were discounted more than future negative amounts and smaller amounts were discounted more than larger amounts. Furthermore, younger people discounted more than older people. Finally, discount functions were used in explaining consumers' willingness to pay for an energy-saving durable good. In this case, the two-parameter discount model could not be estimated and the one-parameter models did not differ significantly in explaining the data.
