Equivalent Characterizations of Appell Sequences
The following conditions on polynomial sequences can easily be seen to be equivalent:
- For n = 1, 2, 3, ...,
- and p0(x) is a non-zero constant;
- For some sequence {cn}n = 0, 1, 2, ... of scalars with c0 ≠ 0,
- For the same sequence of scalars,
- where
- For n = 0, 1, 2, ...,

Famous quotes containing the word equivalent:
“But then people don’t read literature in order to understand; they read it because they want to re-live the feelings and sensations which they found exciting in the past. Art can be a lot of things; but in actual practice, most of it is merely the mental equivalent of alcohol and cantharides.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
