Falling factorials, generating functions, and conjoint ranking tables
Journal of integer sequences, Tome 12 (2009) no. 7
We investigate the coefficients generated by expressing the falling factorial $ { {(xy)}^{\underline{k}} }$ as a linear combination of falling factorial products $ { {x}^{\underline{l}} } { {y}^{\underline{m}} }$ for $l,m =1, \dots, k$. Algebraic and combinatoric properties are discussed, some in relation to Stirling numbers.
