A determinantal approach to Sheffer–Appell polynomials via monomiality principle

In this article, the Sheffer and Appell polynomials are combined to introduce the family of Sheffer–Appell polynomials by using operational methods. The determinantal definition and other properties of the Sheffer–Appell polynomials are established. As particular cases of these polynomials, the Sheffer–Bernoulli and Sheffer–Euler polynomials are introduced and their determinantal definitions are obtained. The operational correspondence between the Appell and Sheffer–Appell polynomials is used to derive the results for the Sheffer–Appell polynomials. Certain results for the Hermite–Appell and Laguerre–Appell polynomials are also obtained.     

On the multidimensional zeta functions associated with theta functions,and the multidimensional Appell polynomials

We define and study the multidimensional Appell polynomials associated with theta functions. For the trivial theta functions, we obtain the various well-known Appell polynomials. Many other interesting examples are given. To push our study, by Mellin transform, we introduce and investigate the multidimensional zeta functions associated with thetas functions and prove that the multidimensional Appell polynomials are special values at the nonpositive integers of these zeta functions. Using zeta functions techniques, among others, we prove an induction formula for multidimensional Appell polynomials. The last part of this paper is devoted to spectral zeta functions and its generalization associated with Laplacians on compact Riemannian manifolds. From this generalization, we construct new Appell polynomials associated with Riemannan manifolds of finite dimensions.     

The Appell interpolation problem

A general linear interpolation problem is considered. We will call it the Appell interpolation problem because the solution can be expressed by a basis of Appell polynomials. Some classical and non-classical examples are also considered. Finally, numerical calculations are given.

A determinantal approach to Appell polynomials

A new definition by means of a determinantal form for Appell (1880) [1] polynomials is given. General properties, some of them new, are proved by using elementary linear algebra tools. Finally classic and non-classic examples are considered and the coefficients, calculated by an ad hoc Mathematica code, for particular sequences of Appell polynomials are given.

Approximation properties of the generalized Szasz operators by multiple Appell polynomials via power summability method

In this paper some properties of the generalized Szasz operators by multiple Appell polynomials are given, using into consideration the power summability method. In the first section are given some direct estimation related to the generalized Szasz operators by multiple Appell polynomials, including Korovkin type theorem. In the second section, we give some results related to the weighted spaces of continuous functions and Voronovskaya type theorem. In the third section, we have proved some results related to the statistical convergence of the generalized Szasz operators by multiple Appell polynomials, using into consideration the A− transformation. At the end of the paper are given some illustrative computational examples which make such summability methods (for example, power series method) more useful and fruitful for applications of functional analysis in approximation theory.     

Generalized Appell bases

In the context of Köthe spaces we study the bases related with the backward unilateral weighted shift operator, the so-called generalized derivation operator, extending known results for spaces of analytic functions. These bases are a subclass of Sheffer sequences called generalized Appell sequences and they are closely connected with the isomorphisms invariant by the weighted shift. We use methods of the non classical umbral calculi to give conditions for a generalized Appell sequence to be a basis.     

Determinant Forms for Extended Heat Functions and Expansions of Solutions of Associated Cauchy Problems

We briefly review series solutions of differential equations problems of the second order that lead to coefficients expressed in terms of determinants. Derivative type formulas involving a generating function with several parameters are developed for these determinant coefficients in first order problems. These permit constructing determinant forms for the heat polynomials and their Appell transforms. Hadamard's theorem for bounding determinants and conical regions are used to deduce simplified versions of expansion theorems involving these polynomials and associated Appell transforms. Extended versions of the heat equation are also considered.     

Jacobi polynomials and generalized Clifford algebra‐valued Appell sequences

Appell sequences in Clifford analysis are defined as polynomial families on which the Heisenberg algebra acts through a raising and a lowering operator satisfying the canonical Heisenberg relation. Recently, these sequences have gained new interest, as they are connected to the topic of special functions (such as harmonic or monogenic Gegenbauer polynomials) and branching rules for certain irreducible representations of the spin group. In this paper, we will explain how Jacobi polynomials appear quite naturally in the setting of Appell sequences related to certain branching problems. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Srivastava–Pintér theorems for 2D‐Appell polynomials and their applications

Recently, Srivastava and Pintér proved addition theorems for the generalized Bernoulli and Euler polynomials. Luo and Srivastava obtained the anologous results for the generalized Apostol–Bernoulli polynomials and the generalized Apostol–Euler polynomials. Finally, Tremblay et al. gave analogues of the Srivastava–Pintér addition theorem for general family of Bernoulli polynomials. In this paper, we obtain Srivastava–Pintér type theorems for 2D‐Appell Polynomials. We also give the representation of 2D‐Appell Polynomials in terms of the Stirling numbers of the second kind and 1D‐Appell polynomials. Furthermore, we introduce the unified 2D‐Apostol polynomials. In particular, we obtain some relations between that family of polynomials and the generalized Hurwitz–Lerch zeta function as well as the Gauss hypergeometric function. Finally, we present some applications of Srivastava–Pintér type theorems for 2D‐Appell Polynomials. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Rank–Crank-type PDEs and generalized Lambert series identities

We show how Rank–Crank-type PDEs for higher order Appell functions due to Zwegers may be obtained from a generalized Lambert series identity due to the first author. Special cases are the Rank–Crank PDE due to Atkin and the third author and a PDE for a level 5 Appell function also found by the third author. These two special PDEs are related to generalized Lambert series identities due to Watson, and Jackson, respectively. The first author’s Lambert series identity is a common generalization. We also show how Atkin and Swinnerton-Dyer’s proof using elliptic functions can be extended to prove these generalized Lambert series identities.     

Appell pseudopolynomials and Erlang-type risk models

Appell polynomials are known to play a key role in certain first-crossing problems. The present paper considers a rather general insurance risk model where the claim interarrival times are independent and exponentially distributed with different parameters, the successive claim amounts may be dependent and the premium income is an arbitrary deterministic function. It is shown that the non-ruin (or survival) probability over a finite horizon may be expressed in terms of a remarkable family of functions, named pseudopolynomials, that generalize the classical Appell polynomials. The presence of that underlying algebraic structure is exploited to provide a closed formula, almost explicit, for the non-ruin probability.     

First crossing time,overshoot and Appell–Hessenberg type functions

We consider a general insurance risk model with extended flexibility under which claims arrive according to a point process with independent increments, their amounts may have any joint distribution and the premium income is accumulated following any non-decreasing, possibly discontinuous, real valued function. Point processes with independent increments are in general non-stationary, allowing for an arbitrary (possibly discontinuous) claim arrival cumulative intensity function which is appealing for insurance applications. Under these general assumptions, we derive a closed form expression for the joint distribution of the time to ruin and the deficit at ruin, which is remarkable, since as we show, it involves a new interesting class of what we call Appell–Hessenberg type functions. The latter are shown to coincide with the classical Appell polynomials in the Poisson case and to yield a new class of the so called Appell–Hessenberg factorial polynomials in the case of negative binomial claim arrivals. Corollaries of our main result generalize previous ruin formulas e.g. those obtained for the case of stationary Poisson claim arrivals.     

New characterization of Appell polynomials

We prove characterizations of Appell polynomials by means of symmetric property. For these polynomials, we establish a simple linear expression in terms of Bernoulli and Euler polynomials. As applications, we give interesting examples. In addition, from our study, we obtain Fourier expansions of Appell polynomials. This result recovers Fourier expansions known for Bernoulli and Euler polynomials and obtains the Fourier expansions for higher order Bernoulli–Euler's one.

On Appell Sets and the Fueter-Sce Mapping

It is proved in Clifford algebras generated by an odd number of basis vectors e ₁, ... , e _n , that the recently discussed Appell polynomials in Clifford algebras are the Fueter-Sce extension of the complex monomials z ^k . Furthermore, it is shown, for which complex functions the Fueter-Sce extension and the extension method using Appell polynomials coincide.      

Persymmetric determinants

The object of this paper is to develop some of the results in the author's joint paper with Dale [2] concerning the derivatives of persymmetric determinants whose elements are Appell functions.Four new double-sum identities are presented which are valid for arbitrary persymmetric determinants. Two of these identities are applied to give direct proofs of two results in [2], A simple formula is given for the derivative of a Turanian of order n with Appell polynomial elements and the result is applied repeatedly to show that its degree is far lower than expected. It is shown that one particular determinant has simple derivatives of all orders and that its degree too is far lower than expected. The formula for the derivative of (first) cofactors is shown to be extensible in a simple manner to the derivatives of second cofactors.
