Abstract:
Involutions and pseudo-involutions in the Riordan group are interesting
because of their numerous applications. In this paper we study
involutions using sequence characterizations of the Riordan arrays.
For a given B-sequence we find the unique function f(z)
such that the array (g(z), f (z))
is a pseudo-involution. As a combinatorial application, we find the
interpretation of each entry in the Bell array
(g(z),f(z)) with a given B-sequence.
