The scaled generalization of Tepper's identity

About 4 years old · traced to

Let ll be a positive integer, and let P(x)P(x) be a real polynomial of degree nn with leading coefficient ana_n. Scaled generalized Tepper identity. One has

∑k=0n(−1)k(nk)P(x−lk)=anlnn!.\sum_{k=0}^{n}(-1)^k {n \choose k}P(x-lk)=a_n l^n n!.

The preceding theorem proves the case l=1l=1 for arbitrary real polynomials. The displayed statement is presented as a conjectural generalization; the supplied text gives no resolution evidence for the scaled case.
