Riordan arrays and generalized Lagrange series

Abstract

The theory of Riordan arrays studies the properties of formal power series and their sequences. The notion of generalized Lagrange series proposed in the present paper is intended to fill the gap in the methodology of this theory. Generalized Lagrange series appear in it implicitly, as various equalities. No special notation is provided for these series, although particular cases of these series are generalized binomial and generalized exponential series. We give the definition of generalized Lagrange series and study their relationship with ordinary Riordan arrays and, separately, with Riordan exponential arrays.
