Multiple Laguerre polynomials: Combinatorial model and Stieltjes moment representation

Abstract

I give a combinatorial interpretation of the multiple Laguerre polynomials of the first kind of type II, generalizing the digraph model found by Foata and Strehl for the ordinary Laguerre polynomials. I also give an explicit integral representation for these polynomials, which shows that they form a multidimensional Stieltjes moment sequence whenever x ≤ 0 x \le 0 .
