This work studies combinatorial objects of pyramidal structure. It proposes fundamental relations for the elements of generalized Pascal’s triangle and generalized Pascal’s pyramid. Among the important special cases under consideration, there are generalized Stirling’s numbers and generalizations of trinomial coefficients and their applications while constructing discrete models of a number of stochastic processes.
Mathematical models of separate kinds of non-uniform random walks on non-negative points of integer lattices are studied. The results are interpreted in terms of processes of birth and death. A number of shrewd formulas and asymptotic results are presented.
