Hermite numbers
The Hermite numbers may be defined by the generating function
(1) |
which is same as the generating function of Hermite polynomials at the value 0 of the argument . After expanding the left hand side of (1) to Taylor series
, one can write
(2) |
Thus one sees that
Evidently,

The Hermite numbers form the sequence (http://www.research.att.com/ njas/sequences/index.html?q=A067994&language=english&go=SearchSloane A067994)
which obeys the recurrence relation
(4) |
According to (1), the Hermite numbers satisfy where is the Hermite polynomial of degree . The of Hermite numbers and Hermite polynomials may be expressed also by using symbolic powers
as follows:
(5) |
This means e.g. that
