Abstract

This paper gives a new expansion formula which essentially involves a double sum. As a consequence of our main result, eq. (6), various types of generating relations are seen to emerge and relevance with some known results is pointed out briefly. The usefulness of our main result is also indicated by considering its application to a probabilistic method for a lattice path enumeration problem.
