Abstract:

We introduce a family of number triangles defined by exponential Riordan arrays, which generalize Pascal's triangle. We characterize the row sums and central coefficients of these triangles, and define and study a set of generalized Catalan numbers. We establish links to the Hermite, Laguerre and Bessel polynomials, as well as links to the Narayana and Lah numbers.
