A new class of three-variable orthogonal polynomials and their recurrences relations

A new class of three-variable orthogonai polynomials,defined as eigenfunctions of a second order PDE operator,is studied.These polynomials are orthogonal over a curved tetrahedron region, which can be seen as a mapping from a traditional tetrahedron,and can be taken as an extension of the 2-D Steiner domain.The polynomials can be viewed as Jacobi polynomials on such a domain.Three- term relations are derived explicitly.The number of the individual terms,involved in the recurrences relations,are shown to be independent on the total degree of the polynomials.The numbers now are determined to be five and seven,with respect to two conjugate variables z,(?) and a real variable r, respectively.Three examples are discussed in details,which can be regarded as the analogues of the Chebyshev polynomials of the first and the second kinds,and Legendre polynomials.     

On random algebraic polynomials

It is shown that these asymptotic estimates are much greater than those for algebraic polynomials of the form .

     

Two-weight Hilbert transform and Lipschitz property of Jacobi matrices associated to hyperbolic polynomials

We are going to prove a Lipschitz property of Jacobi matrices built by orthogonalizing polynomials with respect to measures in the orbit of classical Perron-Frobenius-Ruelle operators associated to hyperbolic polynomial dynamics. This Lipschitz estimate will not depend on the dimension of the Jacobi matrix. It is obtained using some sufficient conditions for two-weight boundedness of the Hilbert transform. It has been proved in [F. Peherstorfer, A. Volberg, P. Yuditskii, Limit periodic Jacobi matrices with prescribed p-adic hull and a singular continuous spectrum, Math. Res. Lett. 13 (2-3) (2006) 215-230] for all polynomials with sufficiently big hyperbolicity and in the most symmetric case t=0 that the Lipschitz estimate becomes exponentially better when the dimension of the Jacobi matrix grows. This allows us to get for such polynomials the solution of a problem of Bellissard, in other words, to prove the limit periodicity of the limit Jacobi matrix. We suggest a scheme how to approach Bellissard's problem for all hyperbolic dynamics by uniting the methods of the present paper and those of [F. Peherstorfer, A. Volberg, P. Yuditskii, Limit periodic Jacobi matrices with prescribed p-adic hull and a singular continuous spectrum, Math. Res. Lett. 13 (2-3) (2006) 215-230]. On the other hand, the nearness of Jacobi matrices under consideration in operator norm implies a certain nearness of their canonical spectral measures. One can notice that this last claim just gives us the classical commutative Perron-Frobenius-Ruelle theorem (it is concerned exactly with the nearness of such measures). In particular, in many situations we can see that the classical Perron-Frobenius-Ruelle theorem is a corollary of a certain non-commutative observation concerning the quantitative nearness of pertinent Jacobi matrices in operator norm.     

Trigonometric polynomials with many real zeros and a Littlewood-type problem

We examine the size of a real trigonometric polynomial of degree at most having at least zeros in (counting multiplicities). This result is then used to give a new proof of a theorem of Littlewood concerning flatness of unimodular trigonometric polynomials. Our proof is shorter and simpler than Littlewood's. Moreover our constant is explicit in contrast to Littlewood's approach, which is indirect.

A class of matrix-valued polynomials generalizing Jacobi polynomials

A hierarchy of matrix-valued polynomials which generalize the Jacobi polynomials is found. Defined by a Rodrigues formula, they are also products of a sequence of differential operators. Each class of polynomials is complete, satisfies a three term recurrence relation, integral inter-relations, and weak orthogonality relations.

For a weight function generating the classical Jacobi polynomials, the sharp double estimate of the distance from the subspace of all polynomials of an arbitrary fixed order is established.

     

Some generating functions of Jacobi polynomials

In this paper, Weisner’s group-theoretic method of obtaining generating functions is utilized in the study of Jacobi polynomialsP> _n ^(a,ß)(x) by giving suitable interpretations to the index (n) and the parameter (β) to find out the elements for constructing a six-dimensional Lie algebra.     

On Jacobi and continuous Hahn polynomials

Jacobi polynomials are mapped onto the continuous Hahn polynomials by the Fourier transform, and the orthogonality relations for the continuous Hahn polynomials then follow from the orthogonality relations for the Jacobi polynomials and the Parseval formula. In a special case this relation dates back to work by Bateman in 1933 and we follow a part of the historical development for these polynomials. Some applications of this relation are given.

     

Jacobi polynomials in Bernstein form

The paper describes a method to compute a basis of mutually orthogonal polynomials with respect to an arbitrary Jacobi weight on the simplex. This construction takes place entirely in terms of the coefficients with respect to the so-called Bernstein–Bézier form of a polynomial.     

The higher-order differential operator for the generalized Jacobi polynomials — new representation and symmetry

For a long time it has been a challenging goal to identify all orthogonal polynomial systems that occur as eigenfunctions of a linear differential equation. One of the widest classes of such eigenfunctions known so far, is given by Koornwinder’s generalized Jacobi polynomials with four parameters $\alpha ,\beta \in {\mathbb{N}}_0$ and $M,N\ge 0$ determining the orthogonality measure on the interval $?1\le x\le 1$. The corresponding differential equation of order $2\alpha +2\beta +6$ is presented here as a linear combination of four elementary components which make the corresponding differential operator widely accessible for applications. In particular, we show that this operator is symmetric with respect to the underlying scalar product and thus verify the orthogonality of the eigenfunctions.     

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 conjectured inequalities for zeros of Jacobi polynomials

Inequalities for the largest zero of Jacobi polynomials, conjectured recently by us and in joint work with P. Leopardi, are here extended to all zeros of Jacobi polynomials, and new relevant conjectures are formulated based on extensive computation.      

On a conjectured inequality of Gautschi and Leopardi for Jacobi polynomials

Motivated by work on positive cubature formulae over the spherical surface, Gautschi and Leopardi conjectured that the inequality holds for α,β > − 1 and n ≥ 1, θ ∈ (0, π), where are the Jacobi polynomials of degree n and parameters (α, β). We settle this conjecture in the special cases where .      

Euler characters and super Jacobi polynomials

We prove that Euler supercharacters for orthosymplectic Lie superalgebras can be obtained as a certain specialization of super Jacobi polynomials. A new version of Weyl type formula for super Schur functions and specialized super Jacobi polynomials play a key role in the proof.     

Jacobi polynomials and design theory I

In this paper, we introduce the notion of Jacobi polynomials of a code with multiple reference vectors, and give the MacWilliams type identity for it. Moreover, we derive a formula to obtain the Jacobi polynomials using the Aronhold polarization operator. Finally, we describe some facts obtained from Type III and Type IV codes that interpret the relation between the Jacobi polynomials and designs.
