The Limiting Distribution of the Coefficients of the $q$-Catalan Numbers

William Y. C. Chen, Carol J. Wang, Larry X. W. Wang

Published 2007-08-20Version 1

We show that the limiting distributions of the coefficients of the $q$-Catalan numbers and the generalized $q$-Catalan numbers are normal. Despite the fact that these coefficients are not unimodal for small $n$, we conjecture that for sufficiently large $n$, the coefficients are unimodal and even log-concave except for a few terms of the head and tail.
