    Comments on operational methods and diffusion problems

    No full text
    Laguerre-type PDE problems are related to the so called Laguerre derivative ĎL := Dx xDx which appears when studying diffusion problems and even in mechanical problems such as the oscillating chain. In this article we use an operational approach in order to write down explicitly the solutions of problems depending on analytical initial or boundary data. Further applications to the Schrӧdinger equation and other diffusion problems are considered in the last section

    Bell polynomials and generalized Blissard problems

    No full text
    We introduce two possible generalizations of the classical Blissard problem and we show how to solve them by using the second order and multi-dimensional Bell polynomials, whose most important properties are recalled. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved

    The negative derivative operator

    No full text
    We discuss the use of the negative derivative operator formalism to derive new series expansion for special functions and combinatorial identities

    Monomiality,orthogonal and pseudo orthogonal polynomials

    No full text
    We reconsider some families of orthogonal polynomials, within the framework of the so called monomiality principle. We show that the associated operational formalism allows the framing of the polynomial orthogonality using an algebraic point of view. Within such a frame- work, we introduce families of pseudo-orthogonal polynomials, namely polynomials, not orthogonal under the ordinary denition, but provid- ing series expansions, which can be obtained from the ordinary series using the monomiality correspondence
