Matrix approach to hypercomplex Appell polynomials
Recently the authors presented a matrix representation approach to real Appell polynomials essentially determined by a nilpotent matrix with natural number entries. It allows to consider a set of real Appell polynomials as solution of a suitable first order initial value problem. The paper aims to confirm that the unifying character of this approach can also be applied to the construction of homogeneous Appell polynomials that are solutions of a generalized Cauchy–Riemann system in Euclidean spaces of arbitrary dimension. The result contributes to the development of techniques for polynomial approximation and interpolation in non-commutative Hypercomplex Function Theories with Clifford algebras
A matrix approach to Sheffer polynomials
This paper deals with a unified matrix representation for the Sheffer polynomials. The core of the proposed approach is the so-called creation matrix, a special subdiagonal matrix having as nonzero entries positive integer numbers, whose exponential coincides with the well-known Pascal matrix. In fact, Sheffer polynomials may be expressed in terms of two matrices both connected to it. As we will show, one of them is strictly related to Appell polynomials, while the other is linked to a binomial type sequence. Consequently, different types of Sheffer polynomials correspond to different choices of these two matrices
