Quantum mechanical operator Touchard polynomials studied by virtue of operators’ normal ordering and Weyl ordering

Abstract

In this paper, we propose quantum mechanical operator formalism for Touchard polynomials whose generating function is [Formula: see text] That is replacing [Formula: see text] by [Formula: see text] where [Formula: see text] is the number operator, and using the method of integration within ordered product we find that [Formula: see text] is just the normal ordering form [Formula: see text]. Then by virtue of the Weyl ordering form of quantum mechanical operator, we also introduce a new special polynomial whose generating function is [Formula: see text] With use of the Weyl ordering form of [Formula: see text] we prove [Formula: see text] where [Formula: see text] denotes Weyl ordering. It seems that quantum mechancal operator formalism presents a new and simpler approach for generalizing Touchard polynomial theory.
