abstract

In this paper we study the total positivity of almost-Riordan arrays $(d(t)|\, g(t), f(t))$ and establish its necessary conditions and sufficient conditions, particularly, for some well used formal power series $d(t)$. We present a semidirect product of an almost-array and use it to transfer a total positivity problem for an almost-Riordan array to the total positivity problem for a quasi-Riordan array. We find the sequence characterization of total positivity of the almost-Riordan arrays. The production matrix $J$ of an almost-Riordan array $(d|\, g,f)$ is presented so that $J$ is totally positive implies the total positivity of both the almost-Riordan array $(d|\, g,f)$ and the Riordan array $(g,f)$. We also present a counterexample to illustrate that this sufficient condition is not necessary. If the production matrix $J$ is tridiagonal, then the expressions of its principal minors are given. By using expressions, we find a sufficient and necessary condition of the total positivity of almost-Riordan arrays with tridiagonal production matrices. A numerous examples are given to demonstrate our results.

  1. Sequence Characterization of Multiple Almost-Riordan Arrays and Their Compressions

    math.CO 2025-09 reject novelty 5.0 of 10

    The author defines ℓ-level almost-Riordan arrays, states without proof that they form a group, and gives sequence and compression characterizations that reduce to previously published equations.
