Book Description

Geared toward upper-level undergraduates and graduate students, this elementary introduction to classical umbral calculus requires only an acquaintance with the basic notions of algebra and a bit of applied mathematics (such as differential equations) to help put the theory in mathematical perspective. The text focuses on classical umbral calculus, which dates back to the 1850s and continues to receive the attention of modern mathematicians. Subjects include Sheffer sequences and operators and their adjoints, with numerous examples of associated and other sequences. Related topics encompass the connection constants problem and duplication formulas, the Lagrange inversion formula, operational formulas, inverse relations, and binomial convolution. The final chapter offers a glimpse of the newer and less well-established forms of umbral calculus.

Book Description

This book presents a novel approach to umbral calculus, which uses only elementary linear algebra (matrix calculus) based on the observation that there is an isomorphism between Sheffer polynomials and Riordan matrices, and that Sheffer polynomials can be expressed in terms of determinants. Additionally, applications to linear interpolation and operator approximation theory are presented in many settings related to various families of polynomials.
