Abstract

The author has constructed multiple analogues of several families of combinatorial numbers in a recent article, including the bracket symbol, and the Stirling numbers of the first and second kind. In the present paper, a multiple analogue of another sequence, the Lah numbers, is developed, and certain associated identities and significant properties of all these sequences are constructed.

Keywords

multiple combinatorial numbers, multiple binomial coefficients, multiple bracket function, multiple Stirling numbers, multiple Lah numbers, well poised rational Macdonald functions
