Abstract
We use linear algebraic methods to obtain general results about linear operators on a space of polynomials that we apply to the operators associated with a polynomial sequence by the monomiality property. We show that all such operators are differential operators, of finite or infinite order, with polynomial coefficients. We consider the monomiality operators associated with several classes of polynomial sequences, such as Appell and Sheffer, and also orthogonal polynomial sequences that include the Meixner, Krawtchouk, Laguerre, Meixner-Pollaczek, and Hermite families.
期刊介绍:
Linear Algebra and its Applications publishes articles that contribute new information or new insights to matrix theory and finite dimensional linear algebra in their algebraic, arithmetic, combinatorial, geometric, or numerical aspects. It also publishes articles that give significant applications of matrix theory or linear algebra to other branches of mathematics and to other sciences. Articles that provide new information or perspectives on the historical development of matrix theory and linear algebra are also welcome. Expository articles which can serve as an introduction to a subject for workers in related areas and which bring one to the frontiers of research are encouraged. Reviews of books are published occasionally as are conference reports that provide an historical record of major meetings on matrix theory and linear algebra.
