    We solve the boson normal ordering problem for (q(a†)a+v(a†))n(q(a^\dag)a+v(a^\dag))^n with arbitrary functions q(x)q(x) and v(x)v(x) and integer nn, where aa and a†a^\dag are boson annihilation and creation operators, satisfying [a,a†]=1[a,a^\dag]=1. This consequently provides the solution for the exponential eλ(q(a†)a+v(a†))e^{\lambda(q(a^\dag)a+v(a^\dag))} generalizing the shift operator. In the course of these considerations we define and explore the monomiality principle and find its representations. We exploit the properties of Sheffer-type polynomials which constitute the inherent structure of this problem. In the end we give some examples illustrating the utility of the method and point out the relation to combinatorial structures.Comment: Presented at the 8'th International School of Theoretical Physics "Symmetry and Structural Properties of Condensed Matter " (SSPCM 2005), Myczkowce, Poland. 13 pages, 31 reference

    Classes of hypercomplex polynomials of discrete variable based on the quasi-monomiality principle

    Full text link
    With the aim of derive a quasi-monomiality formulation in the context of discrete hypercomplex variables, one will amalgamate through a Clifford-algebraic structure of signature (0,n)(0,n) the umbral calculus framework with Lie-algebraic symmetries. The exponential generating function ({\bf EGF}) carrying the {\it continuum} Dirac operator D=\sum_{j=1}^n\e_j\partial_{x_j} together with the Lie-algebraic representation of raising and lowering operators acting on the lattice h\BZ^n is used to derive the corresponding hypercomplex polynomials of discrete variable as Appell sets with membership on the space Clifford-vector-valued polynomials. Some particular examples concerning this construction such as the hypercomplex versions of falling factorials and the Poisson-Charlier polynomials are introduced. Certain applications from the view of interpolation theory and integral transforms are also discussed.Comment: 24 pages. 1 figure. v2: a major revision, including numerous improvements throughout the paper was don

    Bernoulli type polynomials on Umbral Algebra

    Full text link
    The aim of this paper is to investigate generating functions for modification of the Milne-Thomson's polynomials, which are related to the Bernoulli polynomials and the Hermite polynomials. By applying the Umbral algebra to these generating functions, we provide to deriving identities for these polynomials
