Fixed sequences for a generalization of the binomial interpolated operator and for some other operators

J. Integer Seq. 14(8), Article 11.8.1, 14 p., electronic only (2011)

Summary

Summary: This paper is devoted to the study of eigen-sequences for some important operators acting on sequences. Using functional equations involving generating functions, we completely solve the problem of characterizing the fixed sequences for the Generalized Binomial operator. We give some applications to integer sequences. In particular we show how we can generate fixed sequences for Generalized Binomial and their relation with the Worpitzky transform. We illustrate this fact with some interesting examples and identities, related to Fibonacci, Catalan, Motzkin and Euler numbers. Finally we find the eigen-sequences for the mutual compositions of the operators Interpolated Invert, Generalized Binomial and Revert.
