A generalization of Stirling numbers
Daniel E. Loeb
Abstract
We generalize the Stirling numbers of the first kind s(a,k) to the case where a may be an arbitrary real number. In particular, we study the case in which a is an integer. There, we discover new combinatorial properties held by the classical Stirling numbers, and analogous properties held by the Stirling numbers s(n,k) with n a negative integer. On généralise ici les nombres de Stirling du premier ordre s(a,k) au cas où a est un réel quelconque. On s'interesse en particulier au cas où a est entier. Ceci permet de mettre en evidence de nouvelles propriétés combinatoires aux quelles obeissent les nombres de Stirling usuels et des propriétés analougues auquelles obeissent les nombres de Stirling s(n,k) où n est un entier nègatif.
