On a “square” functional equation

Arjun K. Gupta

Vol. 50 (1974), No. 2, 449–454
Abstract

In a recent paper Stanton and Cowan have generalized the Pascal’s triangle to a tableau. They have developed several expressions for these numbers, using combinatorial techniques. In the present paper we derive some of their results very simply, by using the calculus of finite differences. We further obtain the relations of these numbers to hypergeometric function and derive many relations among these numbers which are useful in constructing the tableau.
