Abstract

Let Pbm(x)\mathbf{P}^{m}_{b}(x) be a 2m+12m+1-degree polynomial in xx and bRb \in \mathbb{R} Pbm(x)=k=0b1r=0mAm,rkr(xk)r \mathbf{P}^{m}_{b}(x) = \sum_{k=0}^{b-1} \sum_{r=0}^{m} \mathbf{A}_{m,r} k^r (x-k)^r where Am,r\mathbf{A}_{m,r} are real coefficients. In this manuscript, we introduce the polynomial Pbm(x)\mathbf{P}^{m}_{b}(x) and study its properties, establishing a polynomial identity for odd-powers in terms of this polynomial. Based on mentioned polynomial identity for odd-powers, we explore the connection between the Binomial theorem and discrete convolution of odd-powers, further extending this relation to the multinomial case. All findings are verified using Mathematica programs.
