Abstract
We prove several combinatorial identities involving (binomial) Euler numbers and Stirling numbers (in type A or B) of the second kind. These identities arise from our evaluation of the permanents of some special matrices. In particular, a Frobenius-like formula for the 2-Eulerian polynomials is obtained and an alternative approach to Conjecture 1.6 in Fu et al. (2025) [8] concerning the evaluation of the permanent of the matrix is provided.
证明了涉及(二项式)欧拉数和第二类斯特林数(A型或B型)的几个组合恒等式。这些恒等式来源于我们对一些特殊矩阵的恒等式的求值。特别地,得到了2-欧拉多项式的一个类似frobenius的公式,并提供了Fu et al.(2025)[8]中关于矩阵[sgn(cos²πi+jn+1)]1≤i,j≤n的永久性求值的一种替代方法。
