Hypercomplex polynomials, vietoris’ rational numbers and a related integer numbers sequence

Detalhes bibliográficos
Resumo:This paper aims to give new insights into homogeneous hypercomplex Appell polynomials through the study of some interesting arithmetical properties of their coefficients. Here Appell polynomials are introduced as constituting a hypercomplex generalized geometric series whose fundamental role sometimes seems to have been neglected. Surprisingly, in the simplest non-commutative case their rational coefficient sequence reduces to a coefficient sequence S used in a celebrated theorem on positive trigonometric sums by Vietoris (Sitzungsber Österr Akad Wiss 167:125–135, 1958). For S a generating function is obtained which allows to derive an interesting relation to a result deduced by Askey and Steinig (Trans AMS 187(1):295–307, 1974) about some trigonometric series. The further study of S is concerned with a sequence of integers leading to its irreducible representation and its relation to central binomial coefficients.
