Differential equations for Appell type polynomials.

From MaRDI portal





Consider the generating function \[ \sum^\infty_{n=0} {t^n\over n!} p_n(x)= A(t) e^{xt}. \] The problem addressed involves conditions to be placed on \(A(t)\) such that a differential equation can be derived which is satisfied by \(p_n(x)\). Two such conditions which are first discussed are for \(A(t)\) to be a solution of the Gauss or else the Kummer hypergeometric differential equation. A generalization to functions which are eigenfunctions of a certain class of differential operators then follows along the same lines.
