We use some algebras of infinite matrices $[a_{j,k}]$, where the indexes run over all the integers, to study sequences of polynomials and formal power series and also for the construction of a general operational calculus that can be used to solve linear functional equations of several types.
We consider infinite matrices of the form $\sum_k D_k X^k$, where the $D_k$ are diagonal matrices, $X$ is a shift, and $D_k \ne 0$ for only a finite number of negative values of $k$. Several basic properties and characterizations of orthogonal polynomial sequences are expressed in terms of infinite matrices.
This work extends some of the results obtained in our previous papers
