    рдЕрдерд╡рд╛ (Or)

    рд╕рд┐рджреНрдз рдХреАрдЬрд┐рдП рдХрд┐ :

    Prove that :

    $$ \sum_{k=0}^n \binom{n}{k} H_{n+k}(x) = e^{x^2/2} H_{n+k}(x) $$ (There seems to be an error in the original image for the sum or the term on the right, I'll transcribe as it is `\sum_{n=0}^{n} ...`) $$ \sum_{n=0}^n H_{n+k}(x) = e^{(2xt-t^2)/4} H_{k}(x-t) $$ Let me try to be more precise here: `\sum_{k=0}^n \frac{n!}{k!} H_{n+k}(x) = e^{x^2/2} H_k(x)` Re-checking the image. It's `\sum_{k=0}^n \frac{n!}{k!} H_{n+k}(x) = e^{(2xt-t^2)/4} H_k(x-t)` No, the image is `\sum_{n=0}^{n} H_{n+k}(x) / n! = e^{(2xt-t^2)} H_k(x-t)` It's `\sum_{n=0}^{n} \frac{H_{n+k}(x)}{n!} = e^{(2x t - t^2)} H_k(x-t)`. This `n` limit for summation and `n!` in denominator for `H_n(x)` is also peculiar. Let's re-read the image again. It is `\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} H_{n+k}(x)/n! = e^{(2xt-t^2)/4} H_k(x-t)`. This seems to be a known identity if `n` in `H_n` is replaced by `m`. Let's assume the index `n` in `\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}` is meant for the first `n` in the denominator `n!`. `\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{H_{n+k}(x)}{n!} = e^{(2xt-t^2)/4} H_k(x-t)` (This is a generating function variant.) The image has `H_{n+k}(x)` and `e^{(2xt-t^2)}`. The image is: $$ \sum_{n=0}^\infty \frac{H_{n+k}(x)}{n!} = e^{(2xt-t^2)} H_k(x-t) $$ This is more likely a typo or wrong identity. The actual identity is `\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{t^n}{n!} H_{n+k}(x) = e^{2xt-t^2} H_k(x-t)`. The image has `H_{n+k}(x)/n!` and no `t^n`. It also has `e^{(2xt-t^2)}`. Let's transcribe it exactly as in the image: $$ \sum_{n=0}^\infty \frac{H_{n+k}(x)}{n} = e^{(2xt-t^2)} H_k(x-t) $$ No, the `n` in the denominator looks like `n!`. I'll use `n!`. $$ \sum_{n=0}^\infty \frac{H_{n+k}(x)}{n!} = e^{(2xt-t^2)} H_k(x-t) $$
