A long time ago, now,
I connected fractional-Abel derivatives to fractals
as distributions in IFS fractals.
In studying the Modulo two iso-Pascal triangles
that give Sierpinski gaskets,
I came across a sequence of row sums.
The sequence of Pascal types are:
1,2,1-> Pascal ,k=0,A007318
<http://www.research.att.com/%7Enjas/sequences/A007318>
1,4,1->Eulerian numbers ,k=1,A008292
<http://www.research.att.com/%7Enjas/sequences/A008292>
1,6,1-> MacMahon numbers, k=2,A060187
<http://www.research.att.com/%7Enjas/sequences/A060187>
1,8,1-> new,k=3,A142458
<http://www.research.att.com/%7Enjas/sequences/A142458>
1,10,1,A142459 <http://www.research.att.com/%7Enjas/sequences/A142459>
1,12,1,A142460 <http://www.research.att.com/%7Enjas/sequences/A142460>
1,14,1,A142461 <http://www.research.att.com/%7Enjas/sequences/A142461>
etc.
There is a recursion that I found that works to give these row sums:
for the MacMahon at k=2:A000165
<http://www.research.att.com/%7Enjas/sequences/A000165>
k = 2; b[1] = 2; b[n_] := b[n] = b[n - 1] + k;
a[0] = 1; a[1] = 2; a[n_] := a[n] = a[n - 1]*b[n];
Table[a[n], {n, 0, 20}]
The generalized factorial functions that come from the row sum sequence:
factorial[n,m]={2^n,n!,2^n*n!, -Product[3*k-1,{k,0,n}],(2*n)!/n!,...}
These are the factorial[n,m] row sums.
The Taylor expansion of a function
is traditionally:derivatives at zero as f^(n)[0]=(D[f[x],{x,n}]/.x->0)
f[x]=Sum[(D[f[x],{x,n}]/.x->0)*x^n/n!,{n,0,Infinity}]
New notation:
(D[f[x],{x,n}]/.x->0)->f[0,n]
It is possible to add a variable:
f[x]=Sum[f[0,n,m]*x^n/factorial[n,m],{n,0,Infinity}]
Such that:
f[0,n,m]/factorial[n,m]=f[0,n]/n!
or
f[0,n,m]=factorial[n,m]*f[0,n]/n!
Which has a structure somewhat like Abel derivaive with it in
terms of Gamma[] instead of .
That result gives a sequence of constants: 2,E, Sqrt[E],...
Sum[1/factorial[n,m], {n, 0, Infinity}]
Mathematica:
a[n_]={2^n,n!,2^n*n!, -Product[3*k-1,{k,0,n}],(2*n)!/n!}
Table[Sum[1/a[n][[m]],{n,0,Infinity}],{m,1,Length[a[n]]}]
N[%]
{2.`, 2.718281828459045`, 1.6487212707001282`, 1.6137225566295876,
1.5922965364693267`}
This approach to a scaled Sierpinski like calculus
that involves a combinatorial Pascal symmetry
appears to be new.
As the n! can be expessed as a real valiable with an integral
involved as a Gamma function:
(z-1)!=Gamma[z]=Integrate[Exp[-t]*t^(z-1),{t,0,Infinity}]
It seems very likely some general integral form
for the generalized factorial function presented here must exist.
The forms may already exist and have never been connected
as a sequence.
