Binomial expansions of Jacobi-Stirling numbers and real-rootedness of Jacobi-Stirling descent polynomials
Shi-Mei Ma, Ming-Xin Wang
In this paper, we first expand fixed diagonals of the Jacobi-Stirling numbers in a binomial basis. For the second kind, the expansion coefficients are polynomials in with non…

Hongyi Lou, Shi-Mei Ma, Xinzhe Song +2
In this paper, we present a general method of deducing the determinantal expressions for a polynomial and its derivative. As illustrations, we provide three determinantal expressio…
The half interlacing property among the types A, B and D Eulerian polynomials

Shi-Mei Ma, Sergey Kitaev, Jean Yeh +1
Claesson and Linusson [Proc. Am. Math. Soc., 139 (2011), 435-449] observed that there are n! matchings on [2n] with no left-nestings. Inspired by this result, this paper is devoted…
Symmetric decompositions and Euler-Stirling statistics on Stirling permutations

One of the most central result in combinatorics says that the descent statistic and the excedance statistic are equidistribued over the symmetric group. As a continuation of the wo…

Shi-Mei Ma, Hao Qi, Jean Yeh +1
In the context of Stirling polynomials, Gessel and Stanley introduced the definition of Stirling permutation, which has attracted extensive attention over the past decades. Recentl…
