Description
Summary:In the paper, the authors introduce a unified generalization of the Catalan numbers, the Fuss numbers, the Fuss−Catalan numbers, and the Catalan−Qi function, and discover some properties of the unified generalization, including a product-ratio expression of the unified generalization in terms of the Catalan−Qi functions, three integral representations of the unified generalization, and the logarithmically complete monotonicity of the second order for a special case of the unified generalization.
