Interpolatory product quadratures for Cauchy principal value integrals with Freud weights

Summary. We prove convergence results and error estimates for interpolatory product quadrature formulas for Cauchy principal value integrals on the real line with Freud–type weight functions. The formulas are based on polynomial interpolation at the zeros of orthogonal polynomials associated with the weight function under consideration. As a by–product, we obtain new bounds for the derivative of the functions of the second kind for these weight functions. Received July 15, 1997 / Revised version received August 25, 1998     

About measures and nodal systems for which the Hermite interpolants uniformly converge to continuous functions on the circle and interval

We obtain the Laurent polynomial of Hermite interpolation on the unit circle for nodal systems more general than those formed by the n-roots of complex numbers with modulus one. Under suitable assumptions for the nodal system, that is, when it is constituted by the zeros of para-orthogonal polynomials with respect to appropriate measures or when it satisfies certain properties, we prove the convergence of the polynomial of Hermite-Fejér interpolation for continuous functions. Moreover, we also study the general Hermite interpolation problem on the unit circle and we obtain a sufficient condition on the interpolation conditions for the derivatives, in order to have uniform convergence for continuous functions.Finally, we obtain some improvements on the Hermite interpolation problems on the interval and for the Hermite trigonometric interpolation.     

Asymptotically extremal polynomials with respect to varying weights and application to Sobolev orthogonality

We study the asymptotic behavior of the zeros of a sequence of polynomials whose weighted norms, with respect to a sequence of weight functions, have the same nth root asymptotic behavior as the weighted norms of certain extremal polynomials. This result is applied to obtain the (contracted) weak zero distribution for orthogonal polynomials with respect to a Sobolev inner product with exponential weights of the form e−φ(x), giving a unified treatment for the so-called Freud (i.e., when φ has polynomial growth at infinity) and Erdös (when φ grows faster than any polynomial at infinity) cases. In addition, we provide a new proof for the bound of the distance of the zeros to the convex hull of the support for these Sobolev orthogonal 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.     

Weierstrass formula and zero-finding methods

Summary. Classical Weierstrass' formula [29] has been often the subject of investigation of many authors. In this paper we give some further applications of this formula for finding the zeros of polynomials and analytic functions. We are concerned with the problems of localization of polynomial zeros and the construction of iterative methods for the simultaneous approximation and inclusion of these zeros. Conditions for the safe convergence of Weierstrass' method, depending only on initial approximations, are given. In particular, we study polynomials with interval coefficients. Using an interval version of Weierstrass' method enclosures in the form of disks for the complex-valued set containing all zeros of a polynomial with varying coefficients are obtained. We also present Weierstrass-like algorithm for approximating, simultaneously, all zeros of a class of analytic functions in a given closed region. To demonstrate the proposed algorithms, three numerical examples are included. Received September 13, 1993     

On center sets of ODEs determined by moments of their coefficients

The classical H. Poincaré Center-Focus problem asks about the characterization of planar polynomial vector fields such that all their integral trajectories are closed curves whose interiors contain a fixed point, a center. This problem can be reduced to a center problem for some ordinary differential equation whose coefficients are trigonometric polynomials depending polynomially on the coefficients of the field. In this paper we show that the set of centers in the Center-Focus problem can be determined as the set of zeros of some continuous functions from the moments of coefficients of this equation.     

Generalized Adler-Moser and Loutsenko polynomials for point vortex equilibria

Equilibrium configurations of point vortices with circulations of two discrete values are associated with the zeros of a sequence of polynomials having many continuous parameters: the Adler-Moser polynomials in the case of circulation ratio ?1, and the Loutsenko polynomials in the case of ratio ?2. In this paper a new set of polynomial sequences generalizing the vortex system to three values of circulations is constructed. These polynomials are extensions of the previously known polynomials in the sense that they are special cases of the latter when the third circulation is zero. The polynomials are naturally connected with rational functions that satisfy a second-order differential equation.     

Generalized Hermitean Clifford–Hermite polynomials and the associated wavelet transform

Clifford analysis is a higher‐dimensional function theory offering a refinement of classical harmonic analysis, which has proven to be an appropriate framework for developing higher‐dimensional continuous wavelet transforms, the construction of the wavelets being based on generalizations to a higher dimension of classical orthogonal polynomials on the real line. More recently, Hermitean Clifford analysis has emerged as a new branch of Clifford analysis, offering yet a refinement of the standard Euclidean case; it focusses on so‐called Hermitean monogenic functions, i.e. simultaneous null solutions of two Hermitean Dirac operators. In this Hermitean setting, Clifford–Hermite polynomials and their associated families of wavelet kernels have been constructed starting from a Rodrigues formula involving both Hermitean Dirac operators mentioned. Unfortunately, the property of the so‐called vanishing moments of the corresponding mother wavelets, ensuring that polynomial behaviour in the analyzed signal is filtered out, is only partially satisfied and has to be interpreted with care, the underlying mathematical reason being the fact that the Hermitean Clifford–Hermite polynomials show a too restrictive structure. In this paper, we will remediate this drawback by considering generalized Hermitean Clifford–Hermite polynomials, involving in their definition homogeneous Hermitean monogenic polynomials. The ultimate goal being the construction of new continuous wavelet transforms by means of these polynomials, we first deeply investigate their properties, amongst which are their connection with the traditional Laguerre polynomials, their structure and recurrence relations.

Linearization of the product of symmetric orthogonal polynomials

A new constructive approach is given to the linearization formulas of symmetric orthogonal polynomials. We use the monic three-term recurrence relation of an orthogonal polynomial system to set up a partial difference equation problem for the product of two polynomials and solve it in terms of the initial data. To this end, an auxiliary function of four integer variables is introduced, which may be seen as a discrete analogue of Riemann's function. As an application, we derive the linearization formulas for the associated Hermite polynomials and for their continuousq-analogues. The linearization coefficients are represented here in terms of₃ F ₂ and₃Φ₂ (basic) hypergeometric functions, respectively. We also give some partial results in the case of the associated continuousq-ultraspherical polynomials.

Zeros of a family of hypergeometric para‐orthogonal polynomials on the unit circle

Para‐orthogonal polynomials derived from orthogonal polynomials on the unit circle are known to have all their zeros on the unit circle. In this note we study the zeros of a family of hypergeometric para‐orthogonal polynomials. As tools to study these polynomials, we obtain new results which can be considered as extensions of certain classical results associated with three term recurrence relations and differential equations satisfied by orthogonal polynomials on the real line. One of these results which might be considered as an extension of the classical Sturm comparison theorem, enables us to obtain monotonicity with respect to the parameters for the zeros of these para‐orthogonal polynomials. Finally, a monotonicity of the zeros of Meixner‐Pollaczek polynomials is proved.     

Applications of the Schwarz lemma to inequalities for entire functions with constraints on zeros

It is shown that new inequalities for certain classes of entire functions can be obtained by applying the Schwarz lemma and its generalizations to specially constructed Blaschke products. In particular, for entire functions of exponential type whose zeros lie in the closed lower half-plane, distortion theorems, including the two-point distortion theorem on the real axis, are proved. Similar results are established for polynomials with zeros in the closed unit disk. The classical theorems by Turan and Ankeny-Rivlin are refined. In addition, a theorem on the mutual disposition of the zeros and critical points of a polynomial is proved. Bibliography: 16 titles. Dedicated to the 100th anniversary of G. M.

Equimodular curves

This paper is motivated by a problem that arises in the study of partition functions of Potts models, including as a special case chromatic polynomials. When the underlying graphs have the form of ‘bracelets’, the chromatic polynomials can be expressed in terms of the eigenvalues of a matrix. In this situation a theorem of Beraha, Kahane and Weiss asserts that the zeros of the polynomials approach the curves on which the matrix has two eigenvalues with equal modulus. It is shown here that (in general) these ‘equimodular’ curves comprise a number of segments, the end-points of which are the roots (possibly coincident) of a polynomial equation. The equation represents the vanishing of a discriminant, and the segments are in bijective correspondence with the double roots of another polynomial equation, which is significantly simpler than the discriminant equation. Singularities of the segments can occur, corresponding to the vanishing of a Jacobian. In addition, it is proved by algebraic means that the equimodular curves for a reducible matrix are closed curves. The question of dominance is investigated, and a method of constructing the dominant equimodular curves for a reducible matrix is suggested. These results are illustrated by explicit calculations in a specific case.     

Unification of Stieltjes‐Calogero type relations for the zeros of classical orthogonal polynomials

The classical orthogonal polynomials (COPs) satisfy a second‐order differential equation of the form σ(x)y^′′+τ(x)y^′+λy = 0, which is called the equation of hypergeometric type (EHT). It is shown that two numerical methods provide equivalent schemes for the discrete representation of the EHT. Thus, they lead to the same matrix eigenvalue problem. In both cases, explicit closed‐form expressions for the matrix elements have been derived in terms only of the zeros of the COPs. On using the equality of the entries of the resulting matrices in the two discretizations, unified identities related to the zeros of the COPs are then introduced. Hence, most of the formulas in the literature known for the roots of Hermite, Laguerre and Jacobi polynomials are recovered as the particular cases of our more general and unified relationships. Furthermore, we present some novel results that were not reported previously. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

On the inversion of certain moment matrices

An explicit representation of the elements of the inverses of certain patterned matrices involving the moments of nonnegative weight functions is derived in this paper. It is shown that a sequence of monic orthogonal polynomials can be generated from a given weight function in terms of Hankel-type determinants and that the corresponding matrix inverse can be expressed in terms of their associated coefficients and orthogonality factors. This result enables one to obtain an explicit representation of a certain type of approximants which apply to a wide class of positive continuous functions. Convenient expressions for the coefficients of standard classical orthogonal polynomials such as Legendre, Jacobi, Laguerre and Hermite polynomials are also provided. Several examples illustrate the results.     

Harmonic interpolation of Hermite type based on Radon projections with constant distances

We study harmonic interpolation of Hermite type of harmonic functions based on Radon projections with constant distances of chords. We show that the interpolation polynomials are continuous with respect to the angles and the distances. When the chords coalesce to some points on the unit circle, we prove that the interpolation polynomials tend to a Hermite interpolation polynomial at the coalescing points.     

q-Shock soliton evolution

By generating function based on Jackson’s q-exponential function and the standard exponential function, we introduce a new q-analogue of Hermite and Kampe-de Feriet polynomials. In contrast to q-Hermite polynomials with triple recurrence relations similar to [1], our polynomials satisfy multiple term recurrence relations, which are derived by the q-logarithmic function. It allows us to introduce the q-Heat equation with standard time evolution and the q-deformed space derivative. We find solution of this equation in terms of q-Kampe-de Feriet polynomials with arbitrary number of moving zeros, and solved the initial value problem in operator form. By q-analog of the Cole–Hopf transformation we obtain a new q-deformed Burgers type nonlinear equation with cubic nonlinearity. Regular everywhere, single and multiple q-shock soliton solutions and their time evolution are studied. A novel, self-similarity property of the q-shock solitons is found. Their evolution shows regular character free of any singularities. The results are extended to the linear time dependent q-Schrödinger equation and its nonlinear q-Madelung fluid type representation.     

Multiple orthogonal polynomials and a counterexample to the Gaudin Bethe Ansatz Conjecture

Jacobi polynomials are polynomials whose zeros form the unique solution of the Bethe Ansatz equation associated with two irreducible modules. We study sequences of polynomials whose zeros form the unique solution of the Bethe Ansatz equation associated with two highest weight irreducible modules, with the restriction that the highest weight of one of the modules is a multiple of the first fundamental weight.

We describe the recursion which can be used to compute these polynomials. Moreover, we show that the first polynomial in the sequence coincides with the Jacobi-Piñeiro multiple orthogonal polynomial and others are given by Wronskian-type determinants of Jacobi-Piñeiro polynomials.

As a byproduct we describe a counterexample to the Bethe Ansatz Conjecture for the Gaudin model.

     

Separable polynomials over finite dimensional algebras

In [5] it was shown that for a polynomial P of precise degree n with coefficients in an arbitrary m-ary algebra of dimension d as a vector space over an algebraically closed fields, the zeros of P together with the homogeneous zeros of the dominant part of P form a set of cardinality n^d or the cardinality of the base field. We investigate polynomials with coefficients in a d dimensional algebra A without assuming the base field k to be algebraically closed. Separable polynomials are defined to be those which have exactly n^d distinct zeros in [Ktilde] ?_k A [Ktilde] where [Ktilde] denotes an algebraic closure of k. The main result states that given a separable polynomial of degree n, the field extension L of minimal degree over k for which L ?_k A contains all nd zeros is finite Galois over k. It is shown that there is a non empty Zariski open subset in the affine space of all d-dimensional k algebras whose elements A have the following property: In the affine space of polynomials of precise degree n with coefficients in A there is a non empty Zariski open subset consisting of separable polynomials; in other polynomials with coefficients in a finite dimensional algebra are “generically” separable.
