q-analogs of the generalized Stirling and Bell numbers

Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2008
Generalized Stirling numbers appear in a natural way as the coefficients of the normal ordering of a word in the Heisenberg-Weyl algebra of bosonic creation and annihilation operators. We introduce a new combinatorial model for the study of the q-analogs of the generalized Stirling numbers.

Expert Memories: The Professional Construction of the Past and the Mnemonic Making of Occupations

Journal of Management Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract This article introduces the special issue on occupations and memory in organizations. To foster increasing collaboration from scholars from both fields, we offer a general argument connecting memory and occupations on two levels. At the societal level, we show how memory experts, such as historians, archivists, and museologists, have played a ...

The Form of Agency

Noûs, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Philosophers often think agency is essentially connected with rationality, intention, or control. However, Minimalists argue that agency is just the power to cause a change; acids and boulders are agents too. Many philosophers treat Minimalism as a wild outlier, assuming its falsity without argument.

Poly-central factorial sequences and poly-central-Bell polynomials

Advances in Difference Equations, 2021
In this paper, we introduce poly-central factorial sequences and poly-central Bell polynomials arising from the polyexponential functions, reducing them to central factorials and central Bell polynomials of the second kind respectively when k = 1 $k = 1$

Tudor England and Stewart Scotland Through Spanish Eyes: A Complete Transcription and Translation of Pedro de Ayala's Letter of 1498 to King Ferdinand of Castile and Queen Isabella of Aragon

Renaissance Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract Pedro de Ayala served as a diplomat for King Ferdinand II of Aragon and Queen Isabella I of Castile at the courts of Henry VII, King of England, and James IV, King of Scots. In July 1498, he wrote a letter, partly in cipher, to report to his king and queen on such matters as Spain's interests in international diplomacy; the characters and ...

Dobinski-type relations: Some properties and physical applications

, 2005
We introduce a generalization of the Dobinski relation through which we define a family of Bell-type numbers and polynomials. For all these sequences we find the weight function of the moment problem and give their generating functions.

Eligible but Not Entitled: The Distinctiveness of Non‐Entitlement Policy Designs at the Frontline

Social Policy &Administration, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper explores the distinctive dynamics of entitlement versus non‐entitlement social programmes, focusing on how this distinction influences frontline workers' management of access to social provisions. While much of the existing literature emphasises the macro‐level impacts of these alternative policy designs, this study focuses on their

Derivatives of tangent function and tangent numbers

, 2015
In the paper, by induction, the Fa\`a di Bruno formula, and some techniques in the theory of complex functions, the author finds explicit formulas for higher order derivatives of the tangent and cotangent functions as well as powers of the sine and ...

Congruences for generalized Bell and Stirling numbers

Duke Mathematical Journal, 1955
The author considers the following generalization of the Bell and Stirling numbers. Let the \(s\) functions \(f_i(x)\) satisfy \[ f'_i(x)=1+\sum_{m=1}^\infty c_{mi}f_i^m(x), \qquad (i=1,2,\dots, s), \] where all \(c_{mi}\) are integers, and let \(F_0(x)=f_0(x)\), \(F_n(x)=F_{n-1}(f_n(x))\) \((n=1,2,\dots)\); then consider the integers \(\sigma(c,r,s)\)

Seeding in single species aggregations promotes evenness of diverse shrub species in Banksia woodlands in the first year of growth

Restoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 4, May 2026.
Abstract Introduction Species interactions are an overlooked yet important determinant of plant community assembly in ecological restoration. Specifically, they may determine species that are helped or hindered by neighboring plants during community assembly. Evidence suggests that intraspecific aggregation in combination with interspecific segregation
