In the star puzzle, there are four pegs, the usual three pegs, S, P and D, and a fourth one at 0. Starting with a tower of n discs on the peg P, the objective is to transfer it to the peg D, in minimum number of moves, under the conditions of the classical Tower of Hanoi problem and the additional condition that all disc movements are either to or from the fourth peg. Denoting by MS(n) the minimum number of moves required to solve this variant, MS(n) satisfies the recurrence relation . This paper studies rigorously and extensively the above recurrence relation, and gives a solution of it. GANIT J. Bangladesh Math. Soc.Vol. 39 (2019) 1-14

The generalization of sum of integral powers of first n-natural numbers has been an interesting problem among the researchers in Analytical Number Theory for decades. This research article mainly focuses on the derivation of generalized result of this sum. More explicit formula has been derived in order to get the sum of any arbitrary integral powers of first n-natural numbers. Furthermore by using the fundamental principles of Combinatorics and Linear Algebra an attempt has been made to answer an interesting question namely: Is the sum of integral powers of natural numbers a unique polynomial? As a result it is depicted that this sum always equals a unique polynomial over natural numbers. Moreover some properties of the coefficients of this polynomial are derived.More importantly a recurrence relation which can give the formulas for sum of any positive integral powers of first n-natural numbers has been proposed and it is strongly believed that this recurrence relation is the most significant thing in this entire discussion

In this paper, a q-analogue of r-Whitney-Lah numbers, also known as (q,r)-Whitney-Lah number, denoted by $L_{m,r} [n, k]_q$ is defined using the triangular recurrence relation. Several fundamental properties for the q-analogue are established such as vertical and horizontal recurrence relations, horizontal and exponential generating functions. Moreover, an explicit formula for (q, r)-Whitney-Lah number is derived using the concept of q-difference operator, particularly, the q-analogue of Newton’s Interpolation Formula (the umbral version of Taylor series). Furthermore, an explicit formula for the first form (q, r)-Dowling numbers is obtained which is expressed in terms of (q,r)-Whitney-Lah numbers and (q,r)-Whitney numbers of the second kind.

Abstract. In this work, we define and study the generalized class of Catalan’s polynomials.Thereafter we connect them to the class of Humbert’s polynomials and re-foundthe Humbert recurrence relation [5]. This idea helps us to define a new class of generalizedHumbert’s polynomials different of those given by H. W. Gould [4] and P. N.Shrivastava [9]. Finally we establish an explicit formula for a special class of generalizedCatalan’s polynomials and get two useful combinatorial identities.

We continue our study of quantum Lie algebras, an important class of quadratic algebras arising in the Woronowicz calculus on a quantum group. Quantum Lie algebras are generalizations of Lie (super)algebras. Many notions from the theory of Lie (super)algebras admit "quantum" analogues. In particular, there is a BRST operator Q(Q2=0) which generates the differential in the Woronowicz theory and gives information about (co)homologies of quantum Lie algebras. In our previous papers a recurrence relation for the operator Q for quantum Lie algebras was given. Here we solve this recurrence relation and obtain an explicit formula for the BRST operator.

The 4-peg Tower of Hanoi problem, commonly known as the Reve’s puzzle, is well-known. Motivated by the optimality equation satisfied by the optimal value function M(n) satisfied in case of the Reve’s puzzle, (Matsuura et al. 2008) posed the following generalized recurrence relation T(n, a) = min {aT(n-t, a)+S(t,3)}             1≤ t ≤ n where n ≥ 1 and a ≥ 2 are integers, and S(t, 3) = 2t – 1 is the solution of the 3-peg Tower of Hanoi problem with t discs. Some local-value relationships are satisfied by T(n, a) (Majumdar et al. 2016). This paper studies the properties of  T(n+1, a) – T(n, a) more closely for the case when a is an integer not of the form 2i for any integer i ≥ 2.

In a recent paper, we have studied the enumeration of Hamiltonian cycles (abbreviated HCs) on the grid cylinder graph Pm+1 x Cn, where m grows while n is fixed. In this sequel, we study a much harder problem of enumerating HCs on the same graph only this time letting n grow while m is fixed. We propose a characterization for non-contractible HCs which enables us to prove that their numbers hnc, m (n) satisfy a recurrence relation for every fixed m. From the computational data, we conjecture that the coefficient for the dominant positive characteristic root in the explicit formula for hnc,m (n) is 1.

For fixed real b > 1 and ? > 0, let S[?]b (n) = ?n,k=1 bkk-?. Abel proved that S[?]b(n) ~ bn ??,k =0 ckn-(k+?)(n ? ?), and gave an explicit formula for determining the coefficients ck ? ck(b,?) in terms of Stirling numbers of the second kind. We here provide a recurrence relation for determining the coefficients ck, without Stirling numbers. We also consider asymptotic expansions concerning Somos' quadratic recurrence constant, Glaisher-Kinkelin constant, Choi-Srivastava constants, and the Barnes G-function.

In this paper, we introduce a new generalization of the Hermite polynomials via (p, q)-exponential generating function and investigate several properties and relations for mentioned polynomials including derivative property, explicit formula, recurrence relation, integral representation. We also de…ne a (p, q)-analogue of the Bernstein polynomials and acquire their some formulas. We then provide some (p, q)-hyperbolic representations of the (p, q)-Bernstein polynomials. In addition, we obtain a correlation between (p, q)-Hermite polynomials and (p, q)-Bernstein polynomials.
