Abstract

In this work, we show some properties of Sheffer polynomials arising from quasi-monomiality. We survey characterization problems dealing with d-orthogonal polynomial sets of Sheffer type. We revisit some families in the literature and we state an explicit formula giving the exact number of Sheffer type d-orthogonal sets. We investigate, in detail, the (d + 1)-fold symmetric case as well as the particular cases d = 1, 2, 3.
