DISCRETE MATHEMATICS AND ITS APPLICATIONS
Commutation Relations, Normal Ordering, and Stirling Numbers provides an intro-
duction to the combinatorial aspects of normal ordering in the Weyl algebra and
some of its close relatives. The Weyl algebra is the algebra generated by two letters U
and V subject to the commutation relation UV − VU = I. It is a classical result that
normal ordering powers of ...
