Abstract
In this article, the integral transform is used to introduce a new family of extended hybrid Sheffer sequences via generating functions and operational rules. The determinant forms and other properties of these sequences are established using a matrix approach. The corresponding results for the extended hybrid Appell sequences are also obtained. Certain examples in terms of the members of the extended hybrid Sheffer and Appell sequences are framed. By employing operational rules, the identities involving the Lah, Stirling and Pascal matrices are derived for the aforementioned sequences.
1. Introduction
Fractional calculus is a branch of mathematics that deals with the real or complex number powers of the differential operator. It is shown in [] that the exploitation of integral transforms with special polynomials is an effective way to accord with fractional derivatives. Riemann and Liouville [,] were the first to use the integral transforms to deal with fractional derivatives. Since differentiation and integration are usually regarded as discrete operations, therefore it is useful to evaluate a fractional derivative. We recall the following definitions:
Definition 1.
The Euler Γ-function [] is given by
Definition 2.
The Euler’s integral ([], p. 218) is given by (see also [])
Let be a field of characteristic zero and be the set of all formal power series in t over . Let
where for all . The order of a power series is the smallest integer k for which the coefficient of does not vanish. The series has a multiplicative inverse, denoted by or , if and only if , then is called an invertible series. The series has a compositional inverse such that
if and only if , then with is called a delta series.
Definition 3.
An invertible series and delta series with
together form a Sheffer sequence for the pair . The generating function for the Sheffer sequences [] is given by
which for reduces to the associated Sheffer sequence . A polynomial sequence which is binomial type ([], p. 96) is related to a Sheffer sequence by the functional equation:
for all and , where n being the degree of polynomial and a field of characteristic zero.
Let be a Sheffer sequence for and suppose
then the Sheffer sequence can be expressed by the following determinant form:
where is the entry of the Riordan matrix which defines an infinite, lower triangular array according to the following rule:
where the functions are called the column generating functions of the Riordan matrix.
A vast literature associated with the matrix and other approaches to several special polynomials and corresponding hybrid forms can be found, see [,,,,,,,,,]. These matrix forms helps in solving various algorithms and in finding the solution of numerical and a general linear interpolation problems.
The Appell sequence [] for are defined by
which also satisfies the functional equation
The multi-variable forms of special polynomials are studied in a different way via operational techniques. These may also help in solving problems in classical and quantum mechanics associated with special functions. We recall the following definitions:
Definition 4.
The 2-variable truncated exponential polynomials (2VTEP) (of order r) are defined by the following generating function, series expansion and operational rule ([], p. 174 (30)):
where are the regular cylindrical Bessel function, of zero-th order
Using operational techniques and by convoluting the 2VTEP with Sheffer sequences [], a class of hybrid Sheffer sequences namely the 2-variable truncated exponential-Sheffer sequences (2VTESS) are introduced.
Definition 5.
The exponential generating function and operational rule for the 2VTESS are given by
Remark 1.
Taking
in 2VTESS , we find the 2-variable truncated exponential-Appell sequences (2VTEAS) [], which are defined by the following generating function and operational rule:
The Equation (12) gives the operational rule to introduce the 2VTEP while (14) and (16) define the operational connections between the 2VTESS and the Sheffer sequences and 2VTEAS and the Sheffer sequences, obtained by utilizing Equation (12).
The Euler’s integral forms the basis of new generalizations of special polynomials. Additionally, the combination of the properties of exponential operators with suitable integral representations yields an efficient way of treating fractional operators. Dattolli et al. [,,] used the Euler’s integral to find the operational definitions and the generating relations for the generalized and new forms of special polynomials.
In this article, the exponential operational rule and generating function of the truncated exponential Sheffer are applied on an integral transform to introduce the extended forms of the hybrid Sheffer sequences. The determinant forms and other properties for these sequences are studied via fractional operators and Riordan matrices.
2. Extended Hybrid Sheffer Sequences
We show that the combination of exponential operators with the integral transform for the 2VTESS will give rise to a new class of extended hybrid Sheffer sequences, namely the extended truncated exponential-Sheffer sequences (ETESS). Here, we define the extended hybrid Sheffer sequences by the following definition:
Definition 6.
The extended hybrid Sheffer sequences are defined by the following operational rule:
Theorem 1.
For the extended hybrid Sheffer sequences, the following integral representation holds true:
Proof.
Theorem 2.
For the extended hybrid Sheffer sequences , the following generating function holds true:
Proof.
A recurrence relation is an equation that recursively defines a sequence or multidimensional array of values, once one or more initial terms are given; each further term of the sequence or array is defined as a function of the preceding terms. Differentiating generating function (21), with respect to x, y and , we find the following differential recurrence relations for the extended hybrid Sheffer sequences:
The combination of monomiality principle [] with operational methods opens new possibilities to deal with the theoretical foundations of special polynomials and also to introduce new families of special polynomials. The Sheffer sequences are quasi-monomial. To frame the extended hybrid Sheffer sequences within the context of monomiality principle, the following result is proved:
Theorem 3.
The extended hybrid Sheffer sequences are quasi-monomial with respect to the following multiplicative and derivative operators:
