Irreducibility of a palindromic polynomial

I have strong reasons to believe that the palindromic polynomial $p_n(x)$ defined by $$p_n(x) = x^{2n}+2x^{2n-1}+3x^{2n-2}+ \cdots+ nx^{n+1}+(n+3)x^{n}+nx^{n-1}+\cdots+2x+1$$ is irreducible in $\...

Inequality for $q$-binomials

Recall the constructions $[n]_q=\frac{1-q^n}{1-q}, [n]!_q=[1]_q[2]_q\cdots[n]_q$ with $[0]!_q:=1$ and the $q$-binomials (Gaussian polynomials) $$\binom{n}k_q=\frac{[n]!_q}{[k]!_q[n-k]!_q}.$$ Given two ...

Extension of work by Novelli and Thibon on noncommutative symmetric functions and Lagrange inversion

(Edit May 12, 2023: I just put up a brief summary of some of my notes on the partition polynomials described below in my WordPress mini-arXiv at "As Above, So Below". It contains multinomial ...

Non-tree models of Lagrange inversion polynomials

The specific Lagrange inversion / series reversion polynomials (LIPs) I'm addressing are illustrated in OEIS A134685 with a general linear term and in Lang's pdf for A176740 with the coefficient of ...

Noncrossing partitions in Hopf algebras/monoids via compositional inversion

Partition polynomials constructed from the face structures of the associahedra (OEIS A133437) and permutahedra (A133314) comprise the antipodes/compositional inverses in a Faa-di-Bruno-type Hopf ...

An iterative formula for the Kreweras-Voiculescu polynomials (reference request)

Let $$N(x) = 1 + \sum_{k \ge 1} N_k(h_1,h_2,...,h_k) \;x^k$$ $$ = 1 + h_1 x + (h_1^2 + h_2) x^2 + (h_1^3 + 3h_1h_2 + h_3)x^3 + (h_1^4 + 6 h_2 h_1^2 + 4 h_3 h_1 + 2 h_2^2 + h_4) x^4 + \cdots$$ be the ...

Sampling theorems for partition polynomials (associahedra, noncrossing partitions / parking functions)

Define the associahedra partition polynomial $$ \begin{split} A(x) &= 1 + A_1(u_1) z + A_2(u_1,u_2) z^2 + A_3(u_1,u_2,u_3) z^3 + \cdots\\ & \qquad\qquad = 1 + \sum_{n \geq 1} A_n(u_1,...,u_n) ...

Factorization of the symmetric function identity $E(t)=1/H(t)$ with the refined Euler characteristic polynomials of associahedra / Lagrange inversion

I've come across two matrix identities, flagged with daggers below, relating the two sets of elementary and complete homogeneous symmetric polynomials/functions via the two sets of refined Lah and ...

Outlier absences of monomials in a group of inversion partition polynomials

Revamped and updated on Sep 12, 2022: Given the complex coefficients $a_n$ of some generic formal power, Taylor, Laurent or other series, say the ordinary generating functions (o.g.f.) $f(z) = z +a_1 ...

Combinatorial models of the refined inverse Eulerian numbers

If I evaluate substitution of an infinite set of indeterminates $(c_1,c_2,c_3,\cdots)$ into the infinite set of refined Eulerian polynomials $[E]$ of OEIS A145271, I obtain the Taylor series ...

Refinement of face vectors of the simplicial noncrossing hypertree complexes of McCammond

Einziger on page 65 of "Incidence Hopf algebras: Antipodes, forest formulas, and noncrossing partitions" presents the antipode of a noncrossing partition Hopf algebra as a graded sequence of partition ...

Log associahedra and log noncrossing partitions--raising ops and symmetric function theory for $A_n$ (references)

Where do the following three sets $[LA]$, $[ILA]$, and $[LN]$ of partition polynomials appear in the literature? There are two sets of partition polynomials, not in the OEIS, that serve as the ...
