Pseudo-involutions in the Riordan group and Chebyshev polynomials

Abstract

Generalizing the results in our previous paper, we consider pseudo-involutions in the Riordan group where the generating function gg for the first column of a Riordan array satisfies a functional equation of certain types involving a polynomial. For those types of equations, we find the pseudo-involutory companion of gg. We also develop a general method for finding B-functions of Riordan pseudo-involutions in the cases we consider, and show that these B-functions involve Chebyshev polynomials. We apply our method for several families of Riordan arrays, obtaining new results and deriving known results more efficiently.
