Coefficientwise Total Positivity of Some Matrices Defined by Linear Recurrences

Abstract. We exhibit a lower-triangular matrix of polynomials T(a,c,d,e,f,g) in~six indeterminates that appears empirically to be coefficientwise totally positive, and which includes as a special case the Eulerian triangle. We prove the coefficientwise total positivity of T(a,c,0,e,0,0), which includes the reversed Stirling subset triangle.
