Abstract

An identity for a rational function is used, in conjunction with generating functions for a certain class of polynomials, to derive infinite sets of identities for these polynomials. Identities are given for the polynomials of Legendre, Gegenbauer, Hermite, Tchebycheff and L. Carlitz. A novel type of classification for these polynomials is indicated. Next, infinite sequences of identities for various Bessel functions and for power functions are derived. New identities for trigonometric functions are also given, as well as brief miscellanea on: functions resembling Dirac's delta function, integral transforms and a functional equation.
