The Lagrange Polynomials, the Associated Generalizations, and the Umbral Calculus (Q4409782)

The Lagrange polynomials \(g_{n}^{(\alpha,\beta)}(x,y)\) are defined by the generating function \[ \frac{1}{(1-xt)^{\alpha}(1-yt)^{\beta}}=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{t^{n}}{n!} g_{n}^{(\alpha,\beta)}(x,y). \] The authors discuss the theory of these polynomials as well as of their associated generalized forms, using two different approaches based on the integral transform method and the umbral calculus. They show that their proposed methods offer a powerful tool to investigate the properties of this family of polynomials.
