We use the classical umbral calculus to describe Riordan arrays. Here, a Riordan array is generated by a pair of umbrae, and this provides efficient proofs of several basic results of the theory such as the multiplication rule, the…

A very simple closed-form formula for Sheppard's corrections is recovered by means of the classical umbral calculus. By means of this symbolic method, a more general closed-form formula for discrete parent distributions is provided and the…

We present a new formula for umbral operators that yields three main insights. First, it makes explicit a connection between umbral calculus and iteration theory. Second, it leads naturally to a definition of fractional exponents of umbral…

We retrace the recent history of the Umbral Calculus. After studying the classic results concerning polynomial sequences of binomial type, we generalize to a certain type of logarithmic series. Finally, we demonstrate numerous typical…

The aim of this paper is to present a new simple recurrence for Appell and Sheffer sequences in terms of the linear functional that defines them, and to explain how this is equivalent to several well-known characterizations appearing in the…

We will use analytic function theory and Fourier analysis to establish a characterization for some classical umbral calculus, which will focus on the generalization of the evaluation function. Although we cannot cover all the umbral…

We characterize the Sheffer sequences by a single convolution identity $$ F^{(y)} p_{n}(x) = \sum _{k=0}^{n}\ p_{k}(x)\ p_{n-k}(y)$$ where $F^{(y)}$ is a shift-invariant operator. We then study a generalization of the notion of Sheffer…

A calculus of sequences started in 1936 opened the way for future extensions of umbral calculus in its finite operator form. Because of historically established notation we call it the psi-calculus.It appears in parts to be almost automatic…

Frame theory provides a robust method for recovering vectors in a Hilbert space from inner product data, though the associated decomposition formula can be computationally demanding. We relax the frame condition by studying sequences that…
