Secondly, based on the author's previous work on multivariate Stirling polynomials (arXiv:1311.5067), to present a number of new results affecting different types of inverse relationships, among these (1) the use of multivariable Lah polynomials for characterizing self-orthogonal families of polynomials that can be represented by Bell polynomials, (2) the introduction of `generalized Lagrange inversion polynomials' that invert functions characterized in a specific way by sequences of constants, (3) a general reciprocity theorem according to which, in particular, the partial Bell polynomials $B_{n,k}$ and their orthogonal companions $A_{n,k}$ belong to one single class of Stirling polynomials: $A_{n,k}=(-1)^{n-k}B_{-k,-n}$. Moreover, of some numerical statements (such as Stirling inversion, Schl\\\"omilch-Schl\\\"afli formulas) generalized polynomial versions are established, and a number of well-known theorems (Jabotinsky, Mullin-Rota, Melzak, Comtet) are given new proofs.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-09-19T09:54:36.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05A19", "11B73", "11B83", "05A15", "05E99", "11C08", "13F25", "13N15", "40E99", "46E25" ], "keywords": [ "partial bell polynomials", "related extensions", "reciprocity laws", "general reciprocity theorem", "generalized lagrange inversion polynomials" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
