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:

    “Whether outside work is done by choice or not, whether women seek their identity through work, whether women are searching for pleasure or survival through work, the integration of motherhood and the world of work is a source of ambivalence, struggle, and conflict for the great majority of women.”
    —Sara Lawrence Lightfoot (20th century)
