A new definition of Lidstone polynomials [G.L. Lidstone, Note on the extension of Aitken's theorem (for polynomial interpolation) to the Everett types, Proc. Edinb. Math. Soc. 2 (2) (1929) 16-19] is proposed; this is a Hessemberg determinantal form. The algebraic approach provides an elementary proof of the main recursive properties of Lidstone polynomials.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
