In this paper, we will describe the Pascal Type properties of Betti numbers of ideals associated ton-gons. These are quite similar to the properties enjoyed by the Pascal's Triangle, concerning the binomial coefficients. By definition, the Betti numbersβt(n)of an idealIassociated to ann-gon are the ranks of the modules in a free minimal resolution of theR-moduleR/I, whereRis the polynomial ringk[x1,x2,…,xn]. Herekis any field andx1,x2,…,xnare indeterminates. We will prove those properties using a specific formula for the Betti numbers.

Permutations and combinations have been studied for thousands of years. ‘Permutations and combinations’ considers selecting objects from a collection, either in a particular order (such as when ranking breakfast cereals) or without concern for order (such as when dealing out a bridge hand). It describes and investigates four types of selection—ordered selections with repetition, ordered selections without repetition, unordered selections without repetition, and unordered selections with repetition—and shows how they are related to permutations, combinations, the three combination rules, factorials, Pascal’s triangle, the binomial theorem, binomial coefficients, and distributions.

Pascal’s triangle is the most famous of all number arrays - full of patterns and surprises. One surprise is the fact that lurking amongst these binomial coefficients are the triangular and pyramidal numbers of ancient Greece, the combinatorial numbers which arose in the Hindu studies of arrangements and selections, together with the Fibonacci numbers from medieval Italy. New identities continue to be discovered, so much so that their publication frequently excites no one but the discoverer.

Many sequences of binomial coefficients share various unimodality properties. In this paper we consider the unimodality problem of a sequence of binomial coefficients located in a ray or a transversal of the Pascal triangle. Our results give in particular an affirmative answer to a conjecture of Belbachir et al which asserts that such a sequence of binomial coefficients must be unimodal. We also propose two more general conjectures.

In [1] and [2] we demonstrated how Pascal-like triangles arose from the probabilities associated with the various outcomes of a particular game (see Definition 1 below). It was also shown that they could be considered as generalisations of Pascal's triangle. In this article we show how Fibonacci-like sequences arise from our Pascal-like triangles, and demonstrate the existence of simple relationships between these Fibonacci-like sequences and the Fibonacci sequence itself. In addition we will investigate a generalisation of the binomial coefficients that appears when considering an extended version of the game. We start by describing this game.

Pascal's Triangle

Pascal's triangle, the Binomial expansion and the recurrence relation between its entries are all inextricably linked. In the normal course of events, the Binomial expansion leads to Pascal's Triangle, and thence to the recurrence relation between its entries. In this article we are going to reverse this process to make it possible to explore a particular type of generalisation of such interlinked structures, by generalising the recurrence relation and then exploring the resulting generalised ‘Pascal Triangle’ and ‘Binomial expansion’. Within the spectrum of generalisations considered, we find exactly four of particular significance: those concerned with the Binomial coefficients, the Stirling numbers of both kinds, and a lesser known set of numbers – the Lah numbers. We also examine the combinatorial properties of the entries in these triangles and a prime number divisibility property that they all share. Thereby, we achieve a remarkable synthesis of these different entities.
