Abstract

A superdiagonal composition is one in which the i-th part or summand is of size greater than or equal to i. In this paper, we study the number of palindromic superdiagonal compositions and colored superdiagonal compositions. In particular, we give generating functions and explicit combinatorial formulas involving binomial coefficients and Stirling numbers of the first kind.

Keywords: Compositions; palindromic compositions; colored compositions; generating functions; combinatorial identities

Resumen

Una composición superdiagonal es aquella composición en la que la i-ésima parte (o sumando) tiene un tamaño mayor o igual que i. En este artículo, estudiamos el número de composiciones superdiagonales palindrómicas y composiciones superdiagonales coloreadas. En particular, damos funciones generatrices y fórmulas combinatorias explícitas que involucran coeficientes binomiales y números de Stirling de la primera clase.

Palabras clave: Composiciones; composiciones palíndromas; composiciones coloreadas; funciones generatrices; identidades combinatorias
