We show that the formalism of hybrid polynomials, interpolating between Hermite and Laguerre polynomials, is very useful in the study of Motzkin numbers and central trinomial coefficients. These sequences are identified as special values of hybrid polynomials, a fact which we use to derive their generalized forms and new identities satisfied by them.

A {em Motzkin path} of length $n$ is a lattice path from $(0,0)$ to $(n,0)$ in the plane integer lattice $mathbb{Z}timesmathbb{Z}$ consisting of horizontal-steps $(1, 0)$, up-steps $(1,1)$, and down-steps $(1,-1)$, which never passes below the x-axis. A {em $u$-segment {rm (resp.} $h$-segment {rm)}} of a Motzkin path is a maximum sequence of consecutive up-steps ({rm resp.} horizontal-steps). The present paper studies two kinds of statistics on Motzkin paths: number of $u$-segments and number of $h$-segments. The Lagrange inversion formula is utilized to represent the weighted generating function for the number of Motzkin paths according to the statistics as a sum of the partial Bell polynomials or the potential polynomials. As an application, a general framework for studying compositions are also provided.
We establish a congruence on sums of central $q$-binomial coefficients. From this $q$-congruence, we derive the divisibility of the $q$-trinomial coefficients introduced by Andrews and Baxter.
The generating function and an explicit expression is derived for the (colored) Motzkin numbers of higher rank introduced recently. Considering the special case of rank one yields the corresponding results for the conventional colored Motzkin numbers for which in addition a recursion relation is given.
We first establish the result that the Narayana polynomials can be represented as the integrals of the Legendre polynomials. Then we represent the Catalan numbers in terms of the Narayana polynomials by three different identities. We give three different proofs for these identities, namely, two algebraic proofs and one combinatorial proof. Some applications are also given which lead to many known and new identities.
In this paper, by using the tool of trinomial coefficients we study some determinant problems posed by Zhi-Wei Sun. For example, given any odd prime $p$ with $pequiv 2pmod 3$, we show that $2det[frac{1}{i^2-ij+j^2}]_{1le i,jle p-1}$ is a quadratic residue modulo $p$. This confirms a conjecture of Zhi-Wei Sun.
