On the higher derivatives of the inverse tangent function

Abstract

In this paper, we find explicit formulas for higher order derivatives of the inverse tangent function. More precisely, we study polynomials which are induced from the higher-order derivatives of arctan(x). Successively, we give generating functions, recurrence relations and some particular properties for these polynomials. Connections to Chebyshev, Fibonacci, Lucas and Matching polynomials are established.
