On a multivariable extension for the extended Jacobi polynomials

The main object of this paper is to construct a systematic investigation of a multivariable extension of the extended Jacobi polynomials and give some relations for these polynomials. We derive various families of multilinear and multilateral generating functions. We also obtain relations between the polynomials extended Jacobi polynomials and some other well-known polynomials. Other miscellaneous properties of these general families of multivariable polynomials are also discussed. Furthermore, some special cases of the results are presented in this study.     

On a multivariable extension of the Humbert polynomials

In this paper, we present a multivariable extension of the Humbert polynomials, which is motivated by the Chan-Chyan-Srivastava multivariable polynomials, the multivariable extension of the familiar Lagrange-Hermite polynomials and Erkus-Srivastava multivariable polynomials. We derive various families of multilinear and mixed multilateral generating functions for these polynomials. Other miscellaneous properties of these multivariable polynomials are also discussed. Some special cases of the results presented in this study are also indicated.     

Bilateral generating functions and operational methods

Bilateral generating functions are those involving products of different types of polynomials. We show that operational methods offer a powerful tool to derive these families of generating functions. We study cases relevant to products of Hermite polynomials with Laguerre, Legendre and other polynomials. We also propose further extensions of the method which we develop here.     

Some statistical applications of Faa di Bruno

The formula of Faa di Bruno is used to calculate higher order derivatives of a composition of functions. In this paper, we first review the multivariate version due to Constantine and Savits [A multivariate Faa di Bruno formula with applications, Trans. AMS 348 (1996) 503–520]. We next derive some useful recursion formulas. These results are then applied to obtain both explicit expressions and recursive formulas for the multivariate Hermite polynomials and moments associated with a multivariate normal distribution. Finally, an explicit expression is derived for the formal Edgeworth series expansion of the distribution of a normalized sum of iid random variables.     

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.     

Laguerre-Freud equations for Generalized Hahn polynomials of type I

We derive a system of difference equations satisfied by the three-term recurrence coefficients of some families of discrete orthogonal polynomials.     

Some conditional expectation identities for the multivariate normal

We give formulas for the conditional expectations of a product of multivariate Hermite polynomials with multivariate normal arguments. These results are extended to include conditional expectations of a product of linear combination of multivariate normals. A unified approach is given that covers both Hermite and modified Hermite polynomials, as well as polynomials associated with a matrix whose eigenvalues may be both positive and negative.     

Some properties of Hermite-based Sheffer polynomials

In this paper, the concepts and the formalism associated with monomiality principle and Sheffer sequences are used to introduce family of Hermite-based Sheffer polynomials. Some properties of Hermite-Sheffer polynomials are considered. Further, an operational formalism providing a correspondence between Sheffer and Hermite-Sheffer polynomials is developed. Furthermore, this correspondence is used to derive several new identities and results for members of Hermite-Sheffer family.     

New families of generating functions for certain class of three-variable polynomials

Recently, Srivastava, Özarslan and Kaanoglu have introduced certain families of three and two variable polynomials, which include Lagrange and Lagrange-Hermite polynomials, and obtained families of two-sided linear generating functions between these families [H.M. Srivastava, M.A. Özarslan, C. Kaanoglu, Some families of generating functions for a certain class of three-variable polynomials, Integr. Transform. Spec. Funct. iFirst (2010) 1-12]. The main object of this investigation is to obtain new two-sided linear generating functions between these families by applying certain hypergeometric transformations. Furthermore, more general families of bilinear, bilateral, multilateral finite series relationships and generating functions are presented for them.     

BCn-symmetric polynomials

We consider two important families of BC_n-symmetric polynomials, namely Okounkov's interpolation polynomials and Koornwinder's orthogonal polynomials. We give a family of difference equations satisfied by the former as well as generalizations of the branching rule and Pieri identity, leading to a number of multivariate q-analogues of classical hypergeometric transformations. For the latter, we give new proofs of Macdonald's conjectures, as well as new identities, including an inverse binomial formula and several branching rule and connection coefficient identities. We also derive families of ordinary symmetric functions that reduce to the interpolation and Koornwinder polynomials upon appropriate specialization. As an application, we consider a number of new integral conjectures associated to classical symmetric spaces.     

On a new family related to truncated exponential and Sheffer polynomials

In this article, the truncated exponential and Sheffer polynomials are combined to introduce the 2-variable truncated-exponential based Sheffer polynomials (2VTESP) by using operational methods. Examples of certain special polynomials belonging to this family are considered. Operational correspondence between the 2VTESP and Sheffer polynomials is established, which is applied to derive the results for some members belonging to the 2VTESP family.     

Integral representations for the generalized Bedient polynomials and the generalized Cesàro polynomials

The main object of this paper is to investigate several general families of hypergeometric polynomials and their associated multiple integral representations. By suitably specializing our main results, the corresponding integral representations are deduced for such familiar classes of hypergeometric polynomials as (for example) the generalized Bedient polynomials and the generalized Cesàro polynomials. 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.     

A note on the Lagrange polynomials in several variables

Recently, Chan, Chyan and Srivastava [W.-C.C. Chan, C.-J. Chyan, H.M. Srivastava, The Lagrange polynomials in several variables, Integral Transform. Spec. Funct. 12 (2001) 139-148] introduced and systematically investigated the Lagrange polynomials in several variables. In the present paper, we derive various families of multilinear and multilateral generating functions for the Chan-Chyan-Srivastava multivariable polynomials.     

A new class of polynomials associated with Bernstein and beta polynomials

The purpose of this paper is to define a new class polynomials. Special cases of these polynomials give many famous family of the Bernstein type polynomials and beta polynomials. We also construct generating functions for these polynomials. We investigate some fundamental properties of these functions and polynomials. Using functional equations and generating functions, we derive various identities related to theses polynomials. We also construct interpolation function that interpolates these polynomials at negative integers. Finally, we give a matrix representations of these polynomials.

Computation methods for combinatorial sums and Euler‐type numbers related to new families of numbers

The aim of this article is to define some new families of the special numbers. These numbers provide some further motivation for computation of combinatorial sums involving binomial coefficients and the Euler kind numbers of negative order. We can show that these numbers are related to the well‐known numbers and polynomials such as the Stirling numbers of the second kind and the central factorial numbers, the array polynomials, the rook numbers and polynomials, the Bernstein basis functions and others. In order to derive our new identities and relations for these numbers, we use a technique including the generating functions and functional equations. Finally, we give not only a computational algorithm for these numbers but also some numerical values of these numbers and the Euler numbers of negative order with tables. We also give some combinatorial interpretations of our new numbers. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Nonlinear equations for the recurrence coefficients of discrete orthogonal polynomials

We study polynomials orthogonal on a uniform grid. We show that each weight function gives two potentials and each potential leads to a structure relation (lowering operator). These results are applied to derive second order difference equations satisfied by the orthogonal polynomials and nonlinear difference equations satisfied by the recursion coefficients in the three-term recurrence relations.     

Computations with half-range Chebyshev polynomials

An efficient construction of two non-classical families of orthogonal polynomials is presented in the paper. The so-called half-range Chebyshev polynomials of the first and second kinds were first introduced by Huybrechs in Huybrechs (2010) [5]. Some properties of these polynomials are also shown. Every integrable function can be represented as an infinite series of sines and cosines of these polynomials, the so-called half-range Chebyshev-Fourier (HCF) series. The second part of the paper is devoted to the efficient computation of derivatives and multiplication of the truncated HCF series, where two matrices are constructed for this purpose: the differentiation and the multiplication matrix.     

LLT polynomials,chromatic quasisymmetric functions and graphs with cycles

We use a Dyck path model for unit-interval graphs to study the chromatic quasisymmetric functions introduced by Shareshian and Wachs, as well as unicellular LLT polynomials, revealing some parallel structure and phenomena regarding their $\mathrm{e}$-positivity.The Dyck path model is also extended to circular arc digraphs to obtain larger families of polynomials, giving a new extension of LLT polynomials. Carrying over a lot of the non-circular combinatorics, we prove several statements regarding the $\mathrm{e}$-coefficients of chromatic quasisymmetric functions and LLT polynomials, including a natural combinatorial interpretation for the $\mathrm{e}$-coefficients for the line graph and the cycle graph for both families. We believe that certain $\mathrm{e}$-positivity conjectures hold in all these families above.Furthermore, beyond the chromatic analogy, we study vertical-strip LLT polynomials, which are modified Hall–Littlewood polynomials.     

On Romanovski–Jacobi polynomials and their related approximation results

The aim of this article is to present the essential properties of a finite class of orthogonal polynomials related to the probability density function of the F -distribution over the positive real line. We introduce some basic properties of the Romanovski–Jacobi polynomials, the Romanovski–Jacobi–Gauss type quadrature formulae and the associated interpolation, discrete transforms, spectral differentiation and integration techniques in the physical and frequency spaces, and basic approximation results for the weighted projection operator in the nonuniformly weighted Sobolev space. We discuss the relationship between such kinds of finite orthogonal polynomials and other classes of infinite orthogonal polynomials. Moreover, we derive spectral Galerkin schemes based on a Romanovski–Jacobi expansion in space and time to solve the Cauchy problem for a scalar linear hyperbolic equation in one and two space dimensions posed in the positive real line. Two numerical examples demonstrate the robustness and accuracy of the schemes.     

(Shifted) Macdonald polynomials: q-Integral representation and combinatorial formula

We extend some results about shifted Schur functions to the general context of shifted Macdonald polynomials. We strengthen some theorems of F. Knop and S. Sahi and give two explicit formulas for these polynomials: a q-integral representation and a combinatorial formula. Our main tool is a q-integral representation for ordinary Macdonald polynomial. We also discuss duality for shifted Macdonald polynomials and Jack degeneration of these polynomials.
