Convolution identities for scale transformations of Appell polynomials

Number Theory 2018-05-14 v1

Abstract

We obtain closed form expressions for convolutions of scale transformations within a certain subset of Appell polynomials. This subset contains the Bernoulli, Apostol-Euler, and Cauchy polynomials, as well as various kinds of their generalizations, among others. We give a unified approach mainly based on a probabilistic generalization of the Stirling numbers of the second kind. Different illustrative examples, including reformulations of convolution identities already known in the literature, are discussed in detail.
