Preface

 

Triangular arrays and general Riordan arrays are studied in J. O. Shallit (Univ. of Waterloo) 1980 paper  "A triangle for the Bell numbers" and A. Nkwanta (Morgan State Univ.) articles, cited below. For the History, we recall that these are the starting points of the “Online Encyclopedia Riordanica (OERIOR)” with the purpose to encourage research on topics related to Riordan arrays/Riodan group, to provide assistance in the preparation of a thesis, to stimulate graduate students and researchers who want to get more insight on a specific topic, to provide References and Citations for new Publications.

In 2014, OERIOR included only about hundred Publications. I sent this material to A. Nkwanta  and G-S. Cheon (Sungkyunkwan Univ.), with a kind request to express their opinion on the project. Their prompt and enthousiastic reply encouraged me to continue the “Online Encyclopedia Riordanica (OERIOR)”.

 

1.- Introduction


Oerior is articulated in 3 parts: Database, Glossary, Bibliography. Database is a survey of articles relevant to OeriorGlossary is a survey of labelled Directories and Bibliography is a list of recommended readings. The Content of each part is accessible by clicking on the corresponding Link (see below). Citations are written in black if a free copy is available and/or an Open Access policy is applicable and in red if only an Abstract is available due to Purchase requests. The articles in the Database are ordered by the authors family names and date of publication; when papers by the same authors appear the same year, we also use letters a, b, c, etc....after the year, as in the following examples:

The above display is a so-called thematic map; more precisely we say that it is the Meixner Directory thematic map. Usually a thematic map is related to several keywords, in our case: generating functions, Hahn, integer sequences,  Jacobi (see also elliptic), Krawtchouk, Laguerre, moments and process. Displaying the additional thematic maps, we get 9 thematic maps which provide a more detailed  panoramic view of the topic. To save space, we have not displayed these thematic maps. Thematic maps are used in conjunction with the applications  mentioned above; they represent an important feature of OERIOR.

Conclusion

 

Items in OERIOR can be read on-line (CTRL and one:  jis>, aXv>, gen>, jou>, nat>,  fibqy (acronyms  of Journal Integer Sequences,  aXv, General, Journal, Fibquarterly,National). This original feature of OERIOR gives immediate access to a huge amount of information.

                                                       

There are 1959 entries in Database, 192 in Glossary and 79 in Bibliography . These numbers grow as new items are discovered in the literature due to reader ’ contributions. Readers are welcome to send via email suggestions for further additions.

Database shows that only few items contain in their title the keywords Riordan arrays/group; all the others belong to OERIOR because they are included in a Directory related (CTRL and click here Contents) to a Directory indexed by Riordan arrays/group.

OERIOR is open/free and may be copied for personal reading. We kindly ask users to publicize OERIOR  by  including in their publications  the Reference “G. DellaRiccia, Online Encyclopedia Riordanica”, the Citation "Online Encyclopedia Riordanica (Oerior)” and the Link

I acknowledge with pleasure the excellent work of A. Angelucci (Univ. of L'Aquila) on the Oerior webdesign, the insertion by P. Corvaja (Univ. of Udine) of  the "Jacobi (elliptic)" and "elliptic" entries in the Glossary and his papers in the Database, the remarkable work of  V. Roberto (Univ. of Udine) in the editing of Oerior, the illstration by  R. Angeletti of the art of programming, the presentation by G.L. Franco (Dimif) and C. Maltese (Dimif)  and, last but not least, M. Di Sabatini for some software design procedures.
