Abstract:
Several authors are currently working on generalized Appell polynomials
and their applications in the framework of hypercomplex function theory
in Rn+1. A few years ago,
two of the authors of this paper introduced
a prototype of these generalized Appell polynomials, which heavily draws
on a one-parameter family of non-symmetric number triangles 𝒯(n),
n ≥ 2. In this paper, we prove several new and interesting properties
of finite and infinite sums constructed from entries of 𝒯(n),
similar
to the ordinary Pascal triangle, which is not a part of that family. In
particular, we obtain a recurrence relation for a family of finite sums,
analogous to the ordinary Fibonacci sequence, and derive its corresponding
generating function.
