Title: From A to G: Arithmetic into Geometric Progressions through Riordan Arrays
Abstract:
Is
it possible to move from an arithmetic sequence to a geometric sequence
via a Riordan array transformation? Spoiler: Yes! Enjoy some free juice
boxes and snacks as we discuss a paper by Donatella Merlini and Renzo
Sprugnoli exploring both an algebraic and combinatorial proof of
identities that allow us to move from one type of sequence to the
other.
