A new result for hypergeometric polynomials

In some recent investigations involving differential operators for generalized Laguerre polynomials, Herman Bavinck (1996) encountered and proved a certain summation formula for the classical Laguerre polynomials. The main object of this sequel to Bavinck's work is to prove a generalization of this summation formula for a class of hypergeometric polynomials. The demonstration, which is presented here in the general case, differs markedly from the earlier proof given for the known special case. The general summation formula is also applied to derive the corresponding result for the classical Jacobi polynomials.

     

Some families of hypergeometric polynomials and associated integral representations

The main object of this paper is to investigate several general families of hypergeometric polynomials and their associated single-, double-, and triple-integral representations. Some known or new consequences of the general results presented here, involving such classical orthogonal polynomials as the Jacobi, Laguerre, Hermite, and Bessel polynomials, and various other relatively less familiar hypergeometric polynomials, are also considered. Each of the integral representations, which are derived in this paper, may be viewed also as a linearization relationship for the product of two different members of the associated family of hypergeometric polynomials.     

Asymptotic formulae of Mehler–Heine-type for certain classical polyorthogonal polynomials

The purpose of this article is to give some asymptotic formulae of polyorthogonal polynomials with respect to some classical measures. The formulae are analogous to the Mehler–Heine formulae for Jacobi and Laguerre polynomials.     

Five convolution formulae of orthogonal polynomials

By means of the classical Lagrange expansion theorem, five convolution formulae are established for the orthogonal polynomials named after Laguerre, Jacobi, Meixner, Gegenbauer and Pollaczek, that contain the well-known Hagen-Rothe formula for binomial coefficients as common special case.

Some families of generating functions for the extended Srivastava polynomials

Almost four decades ago, H.M. Srivastava considered a general family of univariate polynomials, the Srivastava polynomials, and initiated a systematic investigation for this family [10]. In 2001, B. González, J. Matera and H.M. Srivastava extended the Srivastava polynomials by inserting one more parameter [4]. In this study we obtain a family of linear generating functions for these extended polynomials. Some illustrative results including Jacobi, Laguerre and Bessel polynomials are also presented. Furthermore, mixed multilateral and multilinear generating functions are derived for these polynomials.     

The Combinatorics of Laguerre,Charlier, and Hermite Polynomials

This paper describes several combinatorial models for Laguerre, Charlier, and Hermite polynomials, and uses them to prove combinatorially some classical formulas. The so-called “Italian limit formula” (from Laguerre to Hermite), the Appel identity for Hermite polynomials, and the two Sheffer identities for Laguerre and Charlier polynomials are proved. We also give bijective proofs of the three-term recurrences. These three families form the bottom triangle in R. Askey's chart classifying hypergeometric orthogonal polynomials.     

Second-order differential equations in the Laguerre–Hahn class

Laguerre–Hahn families on the real line are characterized in terms of second-order differential equations with matrix coefficients for vectors involving the orthogonal polynomials and their associated polynomials, as well as in terms of second-order differential equation for the functions of the second kind. Some characterizations of the classical families are derived.     

Integral inequalities for some special functions

Several integral inequalities for the classical hypergeometric, confluent hypergeometric, and confluent hypergeometric limit functions are given. The related results for Bessel and Whittaker functions as well as for Laguerre, Hermite, and Jacobi polynomials are discussed.     

Some Classical Polynomials Seen from Another Side

The sequence of orthogonal polynomials is said to be classical if is also orthogonal. The aim of this paper is to find the sequences which have the property that is also orthogonal. We prove that sequences, with this property have to be, classical and belong either to the set of Laguerre or Jacobi polynomials, where in the Laguerre case c has to be zero and in the Jacobi case c = ±1.     

A New Integral Involving the Product of Bessel Functions and Associated Laguerre Polynomials

A new result for integrals involving the product of Bessel functions and Associated Laguerre polynomials is obtained in terms of the hypergeometric function. Some special cases of the general integral lead to interesting finite and infinite series representations of hypergeometric functions.     

L2-Theory of Riesz Transforms for Orthogonal Expansions

We propose a unified approach to the theory of Riesz transforms and conjugacy in the setting of multi-dimensional orthogonal expansions. The scheme is supported by numerous examples concerning, in particular, the classical orthogonal expansions in Hermite, Laguerre, and Jacobi polynomials. A general case of expansions associated to a regular or singular Sturm-Liouville problem is also discussed.     

Some generalized hypergeometric d-orthogonal polynomial sets

In this paper, we characterize the d-orthogonal polynomial sets given by their explicit expressions in a specific basis. As application, we consider the generalized hypergeometric case to characterize d-orthogonal polynomial sets of Laguerre type, Meixner type, Meixner-Pollaczek type, Krawtchouk type, continuous dual Hahn type, and dual Hahn type. For d=1, we obtain a unification of some characterization theorems in the orthogonal polynomials theory.     

A Discrete Analog of Euler's Summation Formula

In this paper, we prove a discrete analog of Euler's summation formula. The difference from the classical Euler formula is in that the derivatives are replaced by finite differences and the integrals by finite sums. Instead of Bernoulli numbers and Bernoulli polynomials, special numbers P_n and special polynomials P_n(x) introduced by Korobov in 1996 appear in the formula.     

Matrix exceptional Laguerre polynomials

We give an analog of exceptional polynomials in the matrix-valued setting by considering suitable factorizations of a given second-order differential operator and performing Darboux transformations. Orthogonality and density of the exceptional sequence are discussed in detail. We give an example of matrix-valued exceptional Laguerre polynomials of arbitrary size.

An extension of Suffridge's convolution theorem

We present an extension of Suffridge's convolution theorem for polynomials with restricted zeros on the unit circle. We also discuss a possible extension of the theorem of Laguerre for those polynomials and give an answer to a long-standing open question by Suffridge regarding an extension of the theorem of Gauß-Lucas.     

Fourth-order difference equation for the associated Meixner and Charlier polynomials

An explicit representation of the associated Meixner polynomials (with a real association parameter γ?0) is given in terms of hypergeometric functions. This representation allows to derive the fourth-order difference equation verified by these polynomials. Appropriate limits give the fourth-order difference equation for the associated Charlier polynomials and the fourth-order differential equations for the associated Laguerre and Hermite polynomials.     

Improvement of the formal and numerical estimation of the constant in some Markov-Bernstein inequalities

Some methods of numerical analysis, used for obtaining estimations of zeros of polynomials, are studied again, more especially in the case where the zeros of these polynomials are all strictly positive, distinct and real. They give, in particular, formal lower and upper bounds for the smallest zero. Thanks to them, we produce new formal lower and upper bounds of the constant in Markov-Bernstein inequalities in L ² for the norm corresponding to the Laguerre and Gegenbauer inner products. In fact, since this constant is the inverse of the square root of the smallest zero of a polynomial, we give formal lower and upper bounds of this zero. Moreover, a new sufficient condition is given in order that a polynomial has some complex zeros. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.
