The ratio and generating function of cogrowth coefficients of finitely generated groups

Ryszard Szwarc (1998)

Studia Mathematica

Let G be a group generated by r elements g 1 , , g r . Among the reduced words in g 1 , , g r of length n some, say γ n , represent the identity element of the group G. It has been shown in a combinatorial way that the 2nth root of γ 2 n has a limit, called the cogrowth exponent with respect to the generators g 1 , , g r . We show by analytic methods that the numbers γ n vary regularly, i.e. the ratio γ 2 n + 2 / γ 2 n is also convergent. Moreover, we derive new precise information on the domain of holomorphy of γ(z), the generating function associated...

The two-parameter class of Schröder inversions

J. Schröder (2013)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Infinite lower triangular matrices of generalized Schröder numbers are used to construct a two-parameter class of invertible sequence transformations. Their inverses are given by triangular matrices of coordination numbers. The two-parameter class of Schröder transformations is merged into a one-parameter class of stretched Riordan arrays, the left-inverses of which consist of matrices of crystal ball numbers. Schröder and inverse Schröder transforms of important sequences are calculated.

Transitivity and partial order

Jiří Klaška (1997)

Mathematica Bohemica

In this paper we find a one-to-one correspondence between transitive relations and partial orders. On the basis of this correspondence we deduce the recurrence formula for enumeration of their numbers. We also determine the number of all transitive relations on an arbitrary n -element set up to n = 14 .
