Oresme Polynomials and Their Derivatives

Abstract

We study the problem of generalization of Oresme numbers with a new sequence of numbers called Oresme polynomials. Moreover, by using the matrix methods for Oresme polynomials, we obtain the identities including the general bilinear index-reduction formula of these numbers. Further, Oresme polynomials that are natural extensions of the $k$-Oresme numbers are introduced and some relations for the derivatives of these polynomials in the form of convolution are proved.
