It is shown that Gould's annihilation coefficients and Abel-Gontscharoff polynomials are actually equivalent to each other under certain linear substitutions for the variables. Moreover, a pair of related expansion formulas involving Gontscharoff s remainder and a new form of it are demonstrated, and also illustrated with several examples.展开更多

Asconcrete examples, some multifold inverse relations are presented. By developing a standard prooftechnique for combinatorial identities, we demonstrate Mohanty-Hanna's convolution formulas almostmechanically.

文摘In this paper a connective study of Gould's annihilation coefficients and Abel-Gontscharoff polynomials is presented. It is shown that Gould's annihilation coefficients and Abel-Gontscharoff polynomials are actually equivalent to each other under certain linear substitutions for the variables. Moreover, a pair of related expansion formulas involving Gontscharoff s remainder and a new form of it are demonstrated, and also illustrated with several examples.
