Abstract

For a sequence P=(pn(x))n=0P=(p_n(x))_{n=0}^{\infty} of polynomials pn(x)p_n(x), we study the KK-tuple and LL-shifted exponential lacunary generating functions GK,L(λ;x):=n=0λnn!pnK+L(x)\mathcal{G}_{K,L}(\lambda;x):=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{\lambda^n}{n!} p_{n\cdot K+L}(x), for K=1,2K=1,2\dotsc and L=0,1,2L=0,1,2\dotsc. We establish an algorithm for efficiently computing GK,L(λ;x)\mathcal{G}_{K,L}(\lambda;x) for generic polynomial sequences PP. This procedure is exemplified by application to the study of Hermite polynomials, whereby we obtain closed-form expressions for GK,L(λ;x)\mathcal{G}_{K,L}(\lambda;x) for arbitrary KK and LL, in the form of infinite series involving generalized hypergeometric functions. The basis of our method is provided by certain resummation techniques, supplemented by operational formulae. Our approach also reproduces all the results previously known in the literature.
