Boole-Dunkl polynomials and generalizations (Q6085367)

The purpose of this paper is to study the Dunkl extension of the discrete Appell version of the generalized Euler polynomials, usually known as Euler polynomials of the second kind or Boole polynomials. After introducing a notation \(M_x\) for the mean operator, the generalized central Boole polynomials and the generalized central Euler polynomials of order \(r\) are defined by generating functions. Then the central difference operator is generalized to the Dunkl context by using a new kind of binomial coefficient called \(\mathrm{binomial}\,nk _{\alpha}\) and generalized Bernoulli-Dunkl and Euler-Dunkl polynomials of order \(r\) are defined by a generating function. This leads to the Stirling-Dunkl numbers of the first and second kind. In order to define the Boole-Dunkl and generalized Boole-Dunkl polynomials, the Dunkl (central) mean operator is introduced. Several properties of Euler polynomials are generalized to the Dunkl context, and finally a Dunkl primitive of a function \(f\) together with a Dunkl integral is defined.
