Abstract:

Using a combinatorial approach, we introduce the translated Whitney numbers. This seems to be more natural than to write a product of an arithmetical progression in terms of a power variable and conversely. We also extend our ideas to translated r-Whitney numbers of both kinds and to translated Whitney-Lah numbers.
