Jul 27, 2011 at 22:43 comment added StevenJ Got it. Do you think it might help figure out f(x)?
Jul 26, 2011 at 16:27 comment added Gottfried Helms @STevenj: but to construct the Carlemanmatrix is easy! Just assume exponent p=0 in the above table and compute the coefficients - these are just the coefficients of the column c=0 of the Carleman-matrix (actually it is everywhere zero except at x^0). Then use p=1 - the new coefficients are that of column c=1; use p=2 in the above table compute the coefficients at each x and have the coefficients of column c=2 of the Carleman-matrix. And so on. No recursion needed...
Jul 26, 2011 at 14:02 comment added StevenJ Thanks for taking the time to make the table! Certainly using a computer I can calculate the coefficients of $P_T$ or $P^n$ to any order. The key difficulty is to calculate the coefficients analytically so that I can determine if f(x) has a closed-form solution. Carleman matrices are new to me but seem to do the job pretty well. Do you think it it possible to calculate the Carleman matrix for P(C) in a simple way? From my experiments the off-diagonal terms have a fairly complicated structure which doesn't obviously allow you to write down the whole matrix if you know the coefficients $a_n$.

Jul 25, 2011 at 21:48 comment added StevenJ Thanks a lot for responding. Unfortunately $P^n$ does refer to power, not iteration. I've edited the question to make that clearer as well as to explicitly write the $b_n$ coefficients and the start of $P_T(C)$ and f(x). Although I'm interested to see what you were able to construct. What is the matrix-operator M for the function P(x)?
