Abstract

In this paper, we study the binomial sum Sn(q):=S_{n}(q):=% \overset{n}{\underset{k=0}{\sum }}a_{k}\binom{n}{k}\left( 1-q\right) ^{k}q^{n-k} for a given sequence (an)\left( a_{n}\right) of real or complex numbers. We express Sn(q)S_{n}(q) in function of the powers of q,q, and, we explicit it when the sequence (an)\left( a_{n}\right) is the sequence of Fibonacci numbers, Laguerre polynomials, Meixner polynomials, binomial coefficients and the sequence [n]p.\left[ n\right] _{p}. We establish later some properties, relations, probabilistic interpretations and generating functions between Sn(q)S_{n}(q) and Sn(x+qxq).S_{n}(x+q-xq). Further identities related to Appell polynomials are also given in the last of the paper.
