Mahler polynomial

In mathematics, the Mahler polynomials g_n(x) are polynomials introduced by Mahler (1930) in his work on the zeros of the incomplete gamma function.

Mahler polynomials are given by the generating function

$\displaystyle \sum g_n(x)t^n/n! = \exp(x(1+t-e^t))$

Mahler polynomials can be given as the Sheffer sequence for the functional inverse of 1+t–e^t (Roman 1984, 4.9).
