On multivariate polynomials in Bernstein-Bézier form and tensor algebra

The Bernstein-Bézier representation of polynomials is a very useful tool in computer aided geometric design. In this paper we make use of (multilinear) tensors to describe and manipulate multivariate polynomials in their Bernstein-Bézier form. As an application we consider Hermite interpolation with polynomials and splines.     

The Multivariate Integer Chebyshev Problem

The multivariate integer Chebyshev problem is to find polynomials with integer coefficients that minimize the supremum norm over a compact set in ℂ ^d . We study this problem on general sets but devote special attention to product sets such as cube and polydisk. We also establish a multivariate analog of the Hilbert–Fekete upper bound for the integer Chebyshev constant, which depends on the dimension of space. In the case of single-variable polynomials in the complex plane, our estimate coincides with the Hilbert–Fekete result.      

Polynomials associated with a functional product of the Hermite type

We have found the motivation for this paper in the research of a quantized closed Friedmann cosmological model. There, the second‐order linear ordinary differential equation emerges as a wave equation for the physical state functions. Studying the polynomial solutions of this equation, we define a new functional product in the space of real polynomials. This product includes the indexed weight functions which depend on the degrees of participating polynomials. Although it does not have all of the properties of an inner product, a unique sequence of polynomials can be associated with it by an additional condition. In the special case presented here, we consider the Hermite‐type weight functions and prove that the associated polynomial sequence can be expressed in the closed form via the Hermite polynomials. Also, we find their Rodrigues‐type formula and a four‐term recurrence relation. In contrast to the zeros of Hermite polynomials, which are symmetrically located with respect to the origin, the zeros of the new polynomial sequence are all positive.

The dual multivariate Charlier and Edgeworth expansions

The Charlier differential series for distribution and density functions is the foundation for the Edgeworth expansions of distribution and density functions of sample estimators. Here, we give two forms of these expansions for multivariate distributions using multivariate Bell polynomials. Two forms arise because the multivariate Hermite polynomials have a dual form. These dual forms for the multivariate Charlier and Edgeworth expansions appear to be new.

On multivariate logarithmic polynomials and their properties

In the paper, the author introduces a new notion “multivariate logarithmic polynomial”, establishes two recurrence relations, an explicit formula, and an identity for multivariate logarithmic polynomials by virtue of the Faà di Bruno formula and two identities for the Bell polynomials of the second kind in terms of the Stirling numbers of the first and second kinds, and constructs some determinantal inequalities, some product inequalities, and logarithmic convexity for multivariate logarithmic polynomials by virtue of some properties of completely monotonic functions.     

Recent researches on multivariate spline and piecewise algebraic variety

The multivariate splines as piecewise polynomials have become useful tools for dealing with Computational Geometry, Computer Graphics, Computer Aided Geometrical Design and Image Processing. It is well known that the classical algebraic variety in algebraic geometry is to study geometrical properties of the common intersection of surfaces represented by multivariate polynomials. Recently the surfaces are mainly represented by multivariate piecewise polynomials (i.e. multivariate splines), so the piecewise algebraic variety defined as the common intersection of surfaces represented by multivariate splines is a new topic in algebraic geometry. Moreover, the piecewise algebraic variety will be also important in computational geometry, computer graphics, computer aided geometrical design and image processing. The purpose of this paper is to introduce some recent researches on multivariate spline, piecewise algebraic variety (curve), and their applications.

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.     

Gcd of multivariate polynomials via Newton polytopes

We study geometric criteria to determine coprimality between multivariate polynomials. Our main contribution is the development of a polynomial-time algorithm (on the number of monomials) that detects coprimality of multivariate polynomials using Newton polytopes. We also show how to construct the gcd of two bivariate polynomials using their Newton polygons.     

ON HERMITE MATRIX POLYNOMIALS AND HERMITE MATRIX FUNCTIONS

In this paper properties of Hermite matrix polynomials and Hermite matrix functions are studied. The concept ot total set with respect to a matrix functional is introduced and the total property of the Hermite matrix polynomials is proved. Asymptotic behaviour of Hermite matrix polynomials is studied and the relationship of Hermite matrix functions with certain matrix differential equations is developed. A new expression of the matrix exponential for a wide class of matrices in terms of Hermite matrix polynomials is proposed.     

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.     

Multivariable Al–Salam & Carlitz Polynomials Associated with the Type A q–Dunkl Kernel

The Al–Salam & Carlitz polynomials are q–generalizations of the classical Hermite polynomials. Multivariable generalizations of these polynomials are introduced via a generating function involving a multivariable hypergeometric function which is the q–analogue of the type–A Dunkl integral kernel. An eigenoperator is established for these polynomials and this is used to prove orthogonality with respect to a certain Jackson integral inner product. This inner product is normalized by deriving a q–analogue of the Mehta integral, and the corresponding normalization of the multivariable Al–Salam & Carlitz polynomials is derived from a Pieri–type formula. Various other special properties of the polynomials are also presented, including their relationship to the shifted Macdonald polynomials and the big–q Jacobi polynomials.     

On decoupling of functions of normal vectors

Two decoupling type inequalities for functions of Gaussian vectors are proved. In both cases, it turns out that the case of linear functions is the extreme one. The proofs involve certain properties ofWick’s (Hermite’s) polynomials and a refined version of Schur’s theorem on entrywise product of positive definite matrices.     

渐近于Hermite多项式的双正交系统

本文利用渐近于Gauss函数的函数类?,给出渐近于Hermite正交多项式的一类Appell多项式的构造方法,使得该序列与?的n阶导数之间构成了一组双正交系统.利用此结果,本文得到多种正交多项式和组合多项式的渐近性质.特别地,由N阶B样条所生成的Appell多项式序列恰为N阶Bernoulli多项式.从而,Bernoulli多项式与B样条的导函数之间构成了一组双正交系统,且标准化之后的Bernoulli多项式的渐近形式为Hermite多项式.由二项分布所生成的Appell序列为Euler多项式,从而,Euler多项式与二项分布的导函数之间构成一组双正交系统,且标准化之后的Euler多项式渐近于Hermite多项式.本文给出Appell序列的生成函数满足的尺度方程的充要条件,给出渐近于Hermite多项式的函数列的判定定理.应用该定理,验证广义Buchholz多项式、广义Laguerre多项式和广义Ultraspherical(Gegenbauer)多项式渐近于Hermite多项式的性质,从而验证超几何多项式的Askey格式的成立.     

Kibble–Slepian formula and generating functions for 2D polynomials

We prove a generalization of the Kibble–Slepian formula (for Hermite polynomials) and its unitary analogue involving the 2D Hermite polynomials recently proved in [16]. We derive integral representations for the 2D Hermite polynomials which are of independent interest. Several new generating functions for 2D q-Hermite polynomials will also be given.     

The Empirical Process for Bivariate Sequences with Long Memory

We establish a functional central limit theorem for the empirical process of bivariate stationary long range dependent sequences under Gaussian subordination conditions. The proof is based upon a convergence result for cross-products of Hermite polynomials and a multivariate uniform reduction principle, as in Dehling and Taqqu [Ann. Statist. 17 (1989), 1767–1783] for the univariate case. The effect of estimated parameters is also discussed.     

Multivariate Stieltjes type theorems and location of common zeros of multivariate orthogonal polynomials

Invariant factors of bivariate orthogonal polynomials inherit most of the properties of univariate orthogonal polynomials and play an important role in the research of Stieltjes type theorems and location of common zeros of bivariate orthogonal polynomials. The aim of this paper is to extend our study of invariant factors from two variables to several variables. We obtain a multivariate Stieltjes type theorem, and the relationships among invariant factors, multivariate orthogonal polynomials and the corresponding Jacobi matrix. We also study the location of common zeros of multivariate orthogonal polynomials and provide some examples of tri-variate.     

The eigenvalues of Hermite and rational spectral differentiation matrices

Summary We derive expressions for the eigenvalues of spectral differentiation matrices for unbounded domains. In particular, we consider Galerkin and collocation methods based on Hermite functions as well as rational functions (a Fourier series combined with a cotangent mapping). We show that (i) first derivative matrices have purely imaginary eigenvalues and second derivative matrices have real and negative eigenvalues, (ii) for the Hermite method the eigenvalues are determined by the roots of the Hermite polynomials and for the rational method they are determined by the Laguerre polynomials, and (iii) the Hermite method has attractive stability properties in the sense of small condition numbers and spectral radii.
