Some Theorems and Applications of the $(q,r)$-Whitney Numbers (1709.07999v2)

Abstract: The $(q,r)$-Whitney numbers were recently defined in terms of the $q$-Boson operators, and several combinatorial properties which appear to be $q$-analogues of similar properties were studied. In this paper, we obtain elementary and complete symmetric polynomial forms for the $(q,r)$-Whitney numbers, and give combinatorial interpretations in the context of $A$-tableaux. We also obtain convolution-type identities using the combinatorics of $A$-tableaux. Lastly, we present applications and theorems related to discrete $q$-distributions.
