Abstract

In this paper, we propose quantum mechanical operator formalism for Touchard polynomials whose generating function is T n (x) = ∂ n ∂ λ n e (e λ − 1) x | λ = 0. That is replacing e λ x by e λ a † a , where a † a is the number operator, and using the method of integration within ordered product we find that (a † a) n is just the normal ordering form : T n (a † a) :. Then by virtue of the Weyl ordering form of quantum mechanical operator, we also introduce a new special polynomial whose generating function is G n (x) = ∂ n ∂ λ n 2 e λ + 1 exp [ 2 x e λ − 1 e λ + 1 ] | λ = 0. With use of the Weyl ordering form of e λ a † a , we prove (a † a) n = : T n (a † a) : = : : G n (a † a) : : , where : : : : denotes Weyl ordering. It seems that quantum mechancal operator formalism presents a new and simpler approach for generalizing Touchard polynomial theory. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
