## Abstract

For any complex parameters $x$ and $\nu$, we provide a new class of linear inversion formulas $T = A(x,\nu) \cdot S \Leftrightarrow S = B(x,\nu) \cdot T$ between sequences $S = (S_n)_{n \in \mathbb{N}^*}$ and $T = (T_n)_{n \in \mathbb{N}^*}$, where the infinite lower-triangular matrix $A(x,\nu)$ and its inverse $B(x,\nu)$ involve Hypergeometric polynomials $F(\cdot)$, namely $$ \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} A_{n,k}(x,\nu) = \displaystyle (-1)^k\binom{n}{k}F(k-n,-n\nu;-n;x), \\ B_{n,k}(x,\nu) = \displaystyle (-1)^k\binom{n}{k}F(k-n,k\nu;k;x) \end{array} \right. $$ for $1 \leqslant k \leqslant n$. Functional relations between the ordinary (resp. exponential) generating functions of the related sequences $S$ and $T$ are also given. These new inversion formulas have been initially motivated by the resolution of an integral equation recently appeared in the field of Queuing Theory; we apply them to the full resolution of this integral equation. Finally, matrices involving generalized Laguerre polynomials polynomials are discussed as specific cases of our general inversion scheme.
