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.

Upward Extension of the Jacobi Matrix for Orthogonal Polynomials

Orthogonal polynomials on the real line always satisfy a three-term recurrence relation. The recurrence coefficients determine a tridiagonal semi-infinite matrix (Jacobi matrix) which uniquely characterizes the orthogonal polynomials. We investigate new orthogonal polynomials by adding to the Jacobi matrixrnew rows and columns, so that the original Jacobi matrix is shifted downward. Thernew rows and columns contain 2rnew parameters and the newly obtained orthogonal polynomials thus correspond to an upward extension of the Jacobi matrix. We give an explicit expression of the new orthogonal polynomials in terms of the original orthogonal polynomials, their associated polynomials, and the 2rnew parameters, and we give a fourth order differential equation for these new polynomials when the original orthogonal polynomials are classical. Furthermore we show how the 1?orthogonalizing measure for these new orthogonal polynomials can be obtained and work out the details for a one-parameter family of Jacobi polynomials for which the associated polynomials are again Jacobi polynomials.     

Plancherel–Rotach Asymptotic Expansion for Some Polynomials from Indeterminate Moment Problems

We study the Plancherel–Rotach asymptotics of four families of orthogonal polynomials: the Chen–Ismail polynomials, the Berg–Letessier–Valent polynomials, and the Conrad–Flajolet polynomials I and II. All these polynomials arise in indeterminate moment problems, and three of them are birth and death process polynomials with cubic or quartic rates. We employ a difference equation asymptotic technique due to Z. Wang and R. Wong. Our analysis leads to a conjecture about large degree behavior of polynomials orthogonal with respect to solutions of indeterminate moment problems.     

Elliptic solutions of the Toda chain and a generalization of the Stieltjes–Carlitz polynomials

We construct new elliptic solutions of the restricted Toda chain. These solutions give rise to a new explicit class of orthogonal polynomials, which can be considered as a generalization of the Stieltjes–Carlitz elliptic polynomials. Relations between characteristic (i.e., positive definite) functions, Toda chain, and orthogonal polynomials are developed in order to derive the main properties of these polynomials. Explicit expressions are found for the recurrence coefficients and the weight function for these polynomials. In the degenerate cases of the elliptic functions, the modified Meixner polynomials and the Krall–Laguerre polynomials appear.     

A new family of time-space harmonic polynomials with respect to Lévy processes

By means of a symbolic method, a new family of time-space harmonic polynomials with respect to Lévy processes is given. The coefficients of these polynomials involve a formal expression of Lévy processes by which many identities are stated. We show that this family includes classical families of polynomials such as Hermite polynomials. Poisson–Charlier polynomials result to be a linear combinations of these new polynomials, when they have the property to be time-space harmonic with respect to the compensated Poisson process. The more general class of Lévy–Sheffer polynomials is recovered as a linear combination of these new polynomials, when they are time-space harmonic with respect to Lévy processes of very general form. We show the role played by cumulants of Lévy processes, so that connections with boolean and free cumulants are also stated.     

Some identities of Bell polynomials

We investigate Bell polynomials, also called Touchard polynomials or exponential polynomials, by using and without using umbral calculus. We use three different formulas in order to express various known families of polynomials such as Bernoulli polynomials, poly-Bernoulli polynomials, Cauchy polynomials and falling factorials in terms of Bell polynomials and vice versa. In addition, we derive several properties of Bell polynomials along the way.     

Certain Results for the 2-Variable Peters Mixed Type and Related Polynomials

In this article, the 2-variable general polynomials are taken as base with Peters polynomials to introduce a family of 2-variable Peters mixed type polynomials.These polynomials are framed within the context of monomiality principle and their properties are established. Certain summation formulae for these polynomials are also derived. Examples of some members belonging to this family are considered and numbers related to some mixed special polynomials are also explored.     

Multiplication of a Schubert polynomial by a Schur polynomial

Schur polynomials are a special case of Schubert polynomials. In this paper, we give an algorithm to compute the product of a Schubert polynomial with a Schur polynomial on the basis of Schubert polynomials. This is a special case of the general problem of the multiplication of two Schubert polynomials, where the corresponding algorithm is still missing. The main tools for the given algorithm is a factorization property of a special class of Schubert polynomials and the transition formula for Schubert polynomials.     

Higher-order matching polynomials and d-orthogonality

We show combinatorially that the higher-order matching polynomials of several families of graphs are d-orthogonal polynomials. The matching polynomial of a graph is a generating function for coverings of a graph by disjoint edges; the higher-order matching polynomial corresponds to coverings by paths. Several families of classical orthogonal polynomials—the Chebyshev, Hermite, and Laguerre polynomials—can be interpreted as matching polynomials of paths, cycles, complete graphs, and complete bipartite graphs. The notion of d-orthogonality is a generalization of the usual idea of orthogonality for polynomials and we use sign-reversing involutions to show that the higher-order Chebyshev (first and second kinds), Hermite, and Laguerre polynomials are d-orthogonal. We also investigate the moments and find generating functions of those polynomials.     

The relation of the d-orthogonal polynomials to the Appell polynomials

We are dealing with the concept of d-dimensional orthogonal (abbreviated d-orthogonal) polynomials, that is to say polynomials verifying one standard recurrence relation of order d + 1. Among the d-orthogonal polynomials one singles out the natural generalizations of certain classical orthogonal polynomials. In particular, we are concerned, in the present paper, with the solution of the following problem (P): Find all polynomial sequences which are at the same time Appell polynomials and d-orthogonal. The resulting polynomials are a natural extension of the Hermite polynomials.

A sequence of these polynomials is obtained. All the elements of its (d + 1)-order recurrence are explicitly determined. A generating function, a (d + 1)-order differential equation satisfied by each polynomial and a characterization of this sequence through a vectorial functional equation are also given. Among such polynomials one singles out the d-symmetrical ones (Definition 1.7) which are the d-orthogonal polynomials analogous to the Hermite classical ones. When d = 1 (ordinary orthogonality), we meet again the classical orthogonal polynomials of Hermite.     

Combinatorial Aspects of the K-Theory of Grassmannians

In this paper we study Grothendieck polynomials indexed by Grassmannian permutations, which are representatives for the classes corresponding to the structure sheaves of Schubert varieties in the K-theory of Grassmannians. These Grothendieck polynomials are nonhomogeneous symmetric polynomials whose lowest homogeneous component is a Schur polynomial. Our treatment, which is closely related to the theory of Schur functions, gives new information about these polynomials. Our main results are concerned with the transition matrices between Grothendieck polynomials indexed by Grassmannian permutations and Schur polynomials on the one hand and a Pieri formula for these Grothendieck polynomials on the other.     

A Littlewood–Richardson rule for Macdonald polynomials

Macdonald polynomials are orthogonal polynomials associated to root systems, and in the type A case, the symmetric Macdonald polynomials are a common generalization of Schur functions, Macdonald spherical functions, and Jack polynomials. We use the combinatorics of alcove walks to calculate products of monomials and intertwining operators of the double affine Hecke algebra. From this, we obtain a product formula for Macdonald polynomials of general Lie type.     

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.     

Continued Fractions for Rogers–Szegö Polynomials

We evaluate different Hankel determinants of Rogers–Szegö polynomials, and deduce from it continued fraction expansions for the generating function of RS polynomials. We also give an explicit expression of the orthogonal polynomials associated to moments equal to RS polynomials, and a decomposition of the Hankel form with RS polynomials as coefficients.     

On the log-convexity of combinatorial sequences

We give new sufficient conditions for a sequence of polynomials to have only real zeros based on the method of interlacing zeros. As applications we derive several well-known facts, including the reality of zeros of orthogonal polynomials, matching polynomials, Narayana polynomials and Eulerian polynomials. We also settle certain conjectures of Stahl on genus polynomials by proving them for certain classes of graphs, while showing that they are false in general.     

Combinatorial formula for Macdonald polynomials and generic Macdonald polynomials

We give a direct proof of the combinatorial formula for interpolation Macdonald polynomials by introducing certain polynomials, which we call generic Macdonald polynomials, and which depend on d additional parameters and specialize to all Macdonald polynomials of degree d. The form of these generic polynomials is that of a Bethe eigenfunction and they imitate, on a more elementary level, the R-matrix construction of quantum immanants.     

Difference equations for discrete classical multiple orthogonal polynomials

For discrete multiple orthogonal polynomials such as the multiple Charlier polynomials, the multiple Meixner polynomials, and the multiple Hahn polynomials, we first find a lowering operator and then give a (r+1)th order difference equation by combining the lowering operator with the raising operator. As a corollary, explicit third order difference equations for discrete multiple orthogonal polynomials are given, which was already proved by Van Assche for the multiple Charlier polynomials and the multiple Meixner polynomials.     

On sequences of Hurwitz polynomials related to orthogonal polynomials

ABSTRACT

In this contribution, we explore the well-known connection between Hurwitz and orthogonal polynomials. Namely, given a Hurwitz polynomial, it is shown that it can be decomposed into two parts: a polynomial that is orthogonal with respect to some positive measure supported in the positive real axis and its corresponding second-kind polynomial. Conversely, given a sequence of orthogonal polynomials with respect to a positive measure supported in the positive real axis, a sequence of Hurwitz polynomials can be constructed. Based on that connection, we construct sequences of Hurwitz polynomials that satisfy a recurrence relation, in a similar way as the orthogonal polynomials do. Even more, we present a way to construct families of Hurwitz polynomials using two sequences of parameters and a recurrence relation that constitutes an analogue of Favard's theorem in the theory of orthogonal polynomials.
