Polynomials: Special Polynomials and Number-Theoretical Applications

Polynomials play a crucial role in many areas of mathematics including algebra analysis number theory and probability theory. They also appear in physics chemistry and economics. Especially extensively studied are certain infinite families of polynomials. Here we only mention some examples: Bernoulli Euler Gegenbauer trigonometric and orthogonal polynomials and their generalizations. There are several approaches to these classical mathematical objects. This Special Issue presents nine high quality research papers by leading researchers in this field. I hope the reading of this work will be useful for the new generation of mathematicians and for experienced researchers as well
