A determinantal expression and a recursive relation of the Delannoy numbers

In the paper, by a general and fundamental, but non-extensively circulated, formula for derivatives of a ratio of two differentiable functions and by a recursive relation of the Hessenberg determinant, the author finds a new determinantal expression and a new recursive relation of the Delannoy numbers. Consequently, the author derives a recursive relation for computing central Delannoy numbers in terms of related Delannoy numbers.

Cubature rules from Hall–Littlewood polynomials

Discrete orthogonality relations for Hall–Littlewood polynomials are employed so as to derive cubature rules for the integration of homogeneous symmetric functions with respect to the density of the circular unitary ensemble (which originates from the Haar measure on the special unitary group $SU(n;\mathbb{C})$). By passing to Macdonald’s hyperoctahedral Hall–Littlewood polynomials, we moreover find analogous cubature rules for the integration with respect to the density of the circular quaternion ensemble (which originates in turn from the Haar measure on the compact symplectic group $Sp (n;\mathbb{H})$). The cubature formulas under consideration are exact for a class of rational symmetric functions with simple poles supported on a prescribed complex hyperplane arrangement. In the planar situations (corresponding to $SU(3;\mathbb{C})$ and $Sp (2;\mathbb{H})$), a determinantal expression for the Christoffel weights enables us to write down compact cubature rules for the integration over the equilateral triangle and the isosceles right triangle, respectively.

Some Identities for a Sequence of Unnamed Polynomials Connected with the Bell Polynomials

In the paper, using two inversion theorems for the Stirling numbers and binomial coecients, employing properties of the Bell polynomials of the second kind, and utilizing a higher order derivative formula for the ratio of two dierentiable functions, the authors present two explicit formulas, a determinantal expression, and a recursive relation for a sequence of unnamed polynomials, derive two identities connecting the sequence of unnamed polynomials with the Bell polynomials, and recover a known identity connecting the sequence of unnamed polynomials with the Bell polynomials.

A Determinantal Expression and a Recurrence Relation for the Euler Polynomials

In the paper, by a very simple approach, the author establishes an expression in terms of a lower Hessenberg determinant for the Euler polynomials. By the determinantal expression, the author finds a recurrence relation for the Euler polynomials. By the way, the author derives the corresponding expression and recurrence relation for the Euler numbers.

Influence of Initial Stress and Gravity Field on Propagation of Rayleigh and Stoneley Waves in a Thermoelastic Orthotropic Granular Medium

The propagation of Rayleigh and Stoneley waves in a thermoelastic orthotropic granular half-space supporting a different layer under the influence of initial stress and gravity field is studied. The frequency equation of Rayleigh waves in the form of twelfth-order determinantal expression and the frequency equation of Stoneley waves in the form of eighth-order determinantal expression are obtained. The standard equation of dispersion is discussed to obtain Rayleigh and Stoneley waves that have complex roots; the real part gives the velocity of Rayleigh or Stoneley waves but the imaginary part gives the attenuation coefficient. Finally, the numerical results have been given and illustrated graphically, and their physical meaning has been explained.

Stoneley waves in a non-homogeneous orthotropic granular medium under the influence of gravity

The aim of this paper is to investigate the Stoneley waves in a non-homogeneous orthotropic granular medium under the influence of a gravity field. The frequency equation obtained, in the form of a sixth-order determinantal expression, is in agreement with the corresponding result when both media are elastic. The frequency equation when the gravity field is neglected has been deduced as a particular case.

Rayleigh waves in a thermoelastic granular medium under initial stress

We study the effect of initial stress on the propagation of Rayleigh waves in a granular medium under incremental thermal stresses. We also obtain the frequency equation, in the form of a twelfth-order determinantal expression, which is in agreement with the corresponding classical results.
