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.
