The lemma I propose to discuss may be stated as follows;

If ξ, η, ζ are three quantities whose sum is zero and λ, μ, ν three positive integers (≤n) satisfying the condition

then any polynomial of order n in ξ, η, ζ can be expressed in the form

where P, Q, R are polynomials of orders n − λ, n − μ, n − ν.
