Uncertainty principles for Jacobi expansions

In this paper an uncertainty principle for Jacobi expansions is derived, as a generalization of that for ultraspherical expansions by Rösler and Voit. Indeed a stronger inequality is proved, which is new even for Fourier cosine or ultraspherical expansions. A complex base of exponential type on the torus related to Jacobi polynomials is introduced, which are the eigenfunctions both of certain differential-difference operators of the first order and the second order. An uncertainty principle related to such exponential base is also proved.
