Abstract:
We define a three-parameter family of Bell pseudo-involutions in the
Riordan group. The defining sequences have generating functions
that are expressible as continued fractions. We indicate that the
Hankel transforms of the defining sequences, and of the A sequences
of the corresponding Riordan arrays, can be associated with a Somos-4
sequence. We give examples where these sequences can be associated
with elliptic curves, and we exhibit instances where elliptic curves
can give rise to associated Riordan pseudo-involutions. In the case of
a particular one-parameter family of elliptic curves, we show how we can
associate a unique Bell pseudo-involution with each such curve.
