Some inversion formulas and formulas for Stirling numbers (Q354459)

The author establishes formulas between the coefficients of powers of generating functions. This simple but strikingly powerful result has many applications, as the author points out. For example, he could win new formulas for the first and second kind Stirling numbers, relations among the coefficients of self-inverse functions, and an inversion formula similar to the well known binomial transform. This latter reads as follows. Let \(a_n\) and \(b_n\) be two sequences, and \(t\) be an arbitrary complex number. Then for any \(n\geq1\) \[ a_n=n\sum_{m=1}^n\binom{mt}{n-m}b_m \] holds if and only if \[ b_n=\frac1n\sum_{m=1}^n\binom{-nt}{n-m}a_m. \]
