A note on the -Genocchi numbers and polynomials.
A special relational structure, called genealogical tree, is introduced; its social interpretation and geometrical realizations are discussed. The numbers of all abstract genealogical trees with exactly n+1 nodes and k leaves is found by means of enumeration of code words. For each n, the form a partition of the n-th Catalan numer Cₙ, that means .
The aim of this paper is to give a q-analogue for complete monotonicity. We apply a classical characterization of Hausdorff moment sequences in terms of positive definiteness and complete monotonicity, adapted to the q-situation. The method due to Maserick and Szafraniec that does not need moments turns out to be useful. A definition of a q-moment sequence appears as a by-product.
