Abstract

We continue to investigate combinatorial properties of functions $f_m$ and $c_m$ considered in our previous papers. They depend on an initial arithmetic function $f_0$. In this paper, the values of $f_0$ are the binomial coefficients. We first consider the case when the values of $f_0$ are the binomial coefficients from a row of the Pascal triangle. The values of $f_0$ consider next are the binomial coefficients from a diagonal of the Pascal triangle. In two final cases, the values of $f_0$ are the central binomial coefficients and its adjacent neighbors. In each case, we derive an explicit formula for $c_1(n,k)$ and give its interpretation in terms of restricted words. In the first two cases, we also consider the functions $f_m$ and $c_m$, for $(m>0)$.
