Abstract

In this paper, we propose quantum mechanical operator formalism for Touchard polynomials whose generating function is Tn(x)=∂n∂λne(eλ−1)x|λ=0. That is replacing eλx by eλa†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 :Tn(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 Gn(x)=∂n∂λn2eλ+1exp[2xeλ−1eλ+1]|λ=0. With use of the Weyl ordering form of eλa†a, we prove (a†a)n=:Tn(a†a):=::Gn(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]
