Proof of the $(alpha,beta)$--inversion formula conjectured by Hsu and Ma

In light of the well-known fact that the $n$th divided difference of any polynomial of degree $m$ must be zero while $m<n$,the present paper proves the $(alpha,beta)$-inversion formula conjectured by Hsu and Ma [J. Math. Res. $&$ Exposition 25(4) (2005) 624]. As applications of $(alpha,beta)$-inversion, we not only recover some known matrix
