Binomial Type - Characterization By A Convolution Identity

Characterization By A Convolution Identity

For sequences an, bn, n = 0, 1, 2, ..., define a sort of convolution by

Let be the nth term of the sequence

Then for any sequence ai, i = 0, 1, 2, ..., with a0 = 0, the sequence defined by p0(x) = 1 and

for n ≥ 1, is of binomial type, and every sequence of binomial type is of this form. This result is due to Alessandro di Bucchianico (see References below).

Famous quotes containing the word identity:

    “Though your views are in straight antagonism to theirs, assume an identity of sentiment, assume that you are saying precisely that which all think, and in the flow of wit and love roll out your paradoxes in solid column, with not the infirmity of a doubt.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
