The Extended Legendre-Stirling Numbers of the First Kind

DEStech Transactions on Engineering and Technology Research, 2016
The Legendre-Stirling numbers of the first kind  j n Ps are defined by the coefficients of Taylor expansion of the function x(x  2)(x  6)(x  (n 1)n) by Andrews and Littlejohn (see "A combinatorial interpretation of the Legendre-Stirling numbers", Proc. Amer. Math. Soc, 137: 2581-2590, 2009). In this paper, two new kinds of numbers   jn Ps (n 

Paying for Privilege: How Political Contributions Undermine Environmental Sustainability—And How Executive Contracting Can Restore Balance

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We are interested in investigating whether firms use political donations as a license to neglect environmental sustainability. We further deepen the examination by exploring the role of executive contracting. Drawing on a wide range of data between 2002 and 2021 and a global sample, our findings confirm that firms use political contributions ...

New type of degenerate Daehee polynomials of the second kind

Advances in Difference Equations, 2020
Recently, Kim and Kim (Russ. J. Math. Phys. 27(2):227–235, 2020) have studied new type degenerate Bernoulli numbers and polynomials by making use of degenerate logarithm. Motivated by (Kim and Kim in Russ. J. Math. Phys. 27(2):227–235, 2020), we consider

On degenerate multi-poly-derangement polynomials and numbers

Applied Mathematics in Science and Engineering
The problem of counting derangements was begun in 1708 by Pierre R[Formula: see text]mond de Montmort (see [Carlitz. The number of derangements of a sequence with given specification. Fibonacci Quart. 1978;16:255–258], [Clarke and Sved.

Explicit expressions and integral representations for the Stirling numbers. A probabilistic approach

Advances in Difference Equations, 2019
We show that the Stirling numbers of the first and second kind can be represented in terms of moments of appropriate random variables. This allows us to obtain, in a unified way, a variety of old and new explicit expressions and integral representations ...
