Riordan arrays associated with Laurent series and generalized Sheffer-type groups

A relationship between a pair of Laurent series and Riordan arrays is formulated. In addition, a type of generalized Sheffer groups is defined by using Riordan arrays with respect to power series with non-zero coefficients. The isomorphism between a generalized Sheffer group and the group of the Riordan arrays associated with Laurent series is established. Furthermore, Appell, associated, Bell, and hitting-time subgroups of the groups are defined and discussed. A relationship between the generalized Sheffer groups with respect to different type of power series is presented. The equivalence of the defined Riordan array pairs and generalized Stirling number pairs is given. A type of inverse relations of various series is constructed by using pairs of Riordan arrays. Finally, several applications involving various arrays, polynomial sequences, special formulas and identities are also presented as illustrative examples.
