We study some polynomials arising from Whitney numbers of the second kind of Dowling lattices. Special cases of our results include well-known identities involving Stirling numbers of the second kind. The main technique used is essentially due to Rota.

For k l we construct an injection from the set of pairs of matchings in a given graph G of sizes l&1 and k+1 into the set of pairs of matchings in G of sizes l and k. This provides a combinatorial proof of the log-concavity of the sequence of matching numbers of a graph. Besides, this injection impl
