Les fonctions symétriques complètes et élémentaires sont des spécialisations de fonctions de Schur. Dans cet article, nous utilisons ce fait pour donner deux identités pour les fonctions symétriques complètes et élémentaires. Ce résultat peut être utilisé pour démontrer et découvrir des identités algébriques impliquant les nombres r-Whitney et dʼautres nombres spéciaux.

The complete and elementary symmetric functions are specializations of Schur functions. In this paper, we use this fact to give two identities for the complete and elementary symmetric functions. This result can be used to proving and discovering some algebraic identities involving r-Whitney and other special numbers.
