Abstract

A convolution formula is established for Bell polynomials. This is expressed in seven equivalent ways and used to derive further properties of these polynomials. The application of these results to some twenty-seven special polynomial sets is shown and illustrated in the case of binomial, Hermite, Gegenbauer and generalized Bernoulli sets.
