The tt-successive associated Stirling numbers, tt-Fibonacci--Stirling numbers, and unimodality

Using a combinatorial approach, we introduce the t-successive associated Stirling numbers and we give the recurrence relation and the generating function. We also establish the unimodality of sequence {n−2k k } k lying over a ray of the second kind s Stirling triangle. Some combinatorial identities are given.
