Abstract

The lowering operator σ associated with a polynomial set {Pn}n0 is an operator not depending on n and satisfying the relation σPn=nPn1. In this paper, we express explicitly the linearization coefficients for polynomial sets of Sheffer type using the corresponding lowering operators. We obtain some well-known results as particular cases.
