Using umbral calculus, we give a formula for the expansion of such a set map in terms of any polynomial sequence of binomial type. This leads to some new expansions of the chromatic polynomial. We also describe a set map generalization of Abel polynomials.20 pagesCombinatorics05C15 (Primary) 05A40, 05A18 (Secondary)text
