A determinantal approach to Sheffer-Appell polynomials via monomiality principle (Q401405)

The authors have combined the Appell and Sheffer polynomials to introduce Sheffer-Appell polynomials by means of generating function, series definition and determinantal definition. Since any sequence of polynomials is quasi-monomial [\textit{Y. Ben Cheikh}, Appl. Math. Comput. 141, No. 1, 63--76 (2003; Zbl 1041.33008)], the quasi-monomiality operators are determined in order to derive some properties of these polynomials. Further, the Sheffer-Bernoulli and Sheffer-Euler polynomials are obtained as particular cases of Sheffer-Appell polynomials. The definitions of the Hermite-Appell polynomials as well as the Laguerre-Appell polynomials are also pointed out.
