A $1$-step convolution identity involving the Motzkin triangle

Using different bound variables on the two sides for clarity in the subsequent discussion, the goal is: $$\sum_{k=0}^{n-1}T(n,k) \, T(n,k+1)=\sum_{j=0}^{n-1}\binom{2n}{2j+1}\binom{2j+1}{j}\frac1{j+2} …

Is this combinatorial identity known? (of interest for random matrix theory)

Firstly, exploit the finite support to simplify the limits of the sums. Secondly, split the second sum. We get $$\begin{align*}A(r,b) =& \sum\limits_{m=1}^{r} (2m-1) {r \choose b-m}{r \choose b+m-1} \ …

Curious identity involving the number of perfect matchings of the complete graph

It is somewhat unclear from the question which $=$ indicate known identities and which indicate conjectured identities. I assume from the "it suffices" that what you want is a proof of $$n[n+(n-1)]\cd …

Could you please confirm or deny two identities involving weighted Stirling numbers of the s...

$R(n, k, -\tfrac k2)$ is just the central factorial number $T(n, k)$. (Given the definition of the central factorial numbers, it may be more natural to use them in your context than $R$). Consider A13 …
