In mathematics , the Angelescu polynomials πn (x ) are a series of polynomials generalizing the Laguerre polynomials introduced by Angelescu (1938) . The polynomials can be given by the generating function
ϕ
(
t

−
t
)
exp
(

)
=

.
{\displaystyle \phi \left({\frac {t}{1-t}}\right)\exp \left(-{\frac {xt}{1-t}}\right)=\sum _{n=0}^{\infty }\pi _{n}(x)t^{n}.}
Boas & Buck (1958 , p.41)
They can also be defined by the equation

)
:=

[
e

A
n
(

]
,
{\displaystyle \pi _{n}(x):=e^{x}D^{n}[e^{-x}A_{n}(x)],}
where
A
n
(
x
)
n
!
{\displaystyle {\frac {A_{n}(x)}{n!}}}
is an Appell set of polynomials [which? ] (see Shukla (1981) ).
