On Touchard's Identity: Generalizations and Related Results
Abstract
Starting with a known polynomial identity, we derive two generalizations of Touchard's identity concerning Catalan numbers; one obtained using the Beta function and the other via a connection with Stirling numbers of the second kind. We subsequently establish several new combinatorial identities.
