Abstract

A Riordan array ( g,f) is called a pseudo-involution if ( g,f)M (or equivalently, M ( g,f) ), where M = (1, - z ) , is an involution. This paper presents a palindromic property of pseudo-involutions, which seems both novel and useful. If A and B are both pseudo-involutions, then so is the triple product ABA . With this it follows that if A,B,C,… are pseudo-involutions so is any palindromic word using these symbols.
