Polynomials and matrices have played a very important role in the development of different branches of mathematics. Indeed, several mathematicians have introduced classical polynomials very useful for the scientific community such as the Lagrange’s interpolation polynomials, the Chebyshev’s polynomials and the Bernstein’s polynomials [1,2]. Also, there is a strong link between polynomials and matrices through the notions of the determinant, the characteristic polynomial and the minimal polynomial. Similarly, we will introduce in this article two polynomials which we will call twin polynomials as well as a matrix called kernels matrix. Finally, we will present some applications such as the resolution of recurrent sequences with second member and the establishment of several sum formulas.
