*Description* Polynomials are an incredibly useful mathematical tools as they are simply defined and can be calculated quickly on computer systems. They can be differentiated and integrated easily, and can be pieced together to form spline curves. Furthermore, from Weierstrass’s Approximation Theorem, every continuous function defined on a closed interval can be uniformly approximated by polynomials. Therefore sequences of polynomials perform an important role in several branches of sciences: mathematics, phisics, engineering etc. For examples, polynomial sequences arise in physic and approximation theory as the solutions of certain ordinary differential equations. Orthogonal polynomials play an important role in the applications. In statistics Hermite polynomials are very important, which are, also, orthogonal polynomials. In algebra and combinatorics umbral polynomials are used such as: rising factorials, falling factorials, Abel, Bell, Bernoulli, Euler, Boile, ciclotomic, Dickson, Fibonacci, Lucas, Touchard etc. polynomials. Some of these belong to special classes, such as Sheffer, Appell and the binomial type.For this reason the research in this field appears in different Journals/Magazines.

A special issue that makes the state of art of current research would be very useful for the mathematical community.

We warmly invite you to contribute to our Special Issue. Don't hesitate to forward this message to anyone who could be interested.

Thank you very much for your kind consideration and apologies for multiple copies.

We look forward to hearing from you.
