The multivariate pascal, Stirling and Vandermonde matrices
摘要
In this paper, we first introduce a generalization of Stirling numbers of the first and second kind. Then, using these numbers, we generalize the Stirling matrices of the first and second kind, investigated by Cheon and Kim [Stirling matrix via Pascal matrix, Linear Algebra Appl. 329 (2001) 49–59]. In the following, we will present an LDU-factorization for the multivariate Vandermonde matrix based on the second kind Stirling and multivariate Pascal matrices. Finally, we will obtain some well-known combinatorial identities for the multivariate Stirling numbers of the first and second kind and multivariate binomial coefficients.
