Linearization and connection coefficients of orthogonal polynomials

Let {P _n } _n ^=0/ be a system of orthogonal polynomials.Lasser [5] observed that if the linearization coefficients of {P _n } _n ^=0/ are nonnegative then each of theP _n (x) is a linear combination of the Tchebyshev polynomials with nonnegative coefficients. The aim of this paper is to give a partial converse to this statement. We also consider the problem of determining when the polynomialsP _n can be expressed in terms ofQ _n with nonnegative coefficients, where {Q _n } _n ^=0/ is another system of orthogonal polynomials. New proofs of well known theorems are given as well as new results and examples are presented.     

Linearization formula for the product of associated q-ultraspherical polynomials

We obtain an explicit formula for the linearization coefficient of the product of two associated q-ultraspherical polynomials in terms of a multiple of a balanced, terminating very-well-poised ₁₀φ₉ series. We also discuss the nonnegativity properties of the coefficients as well as some special cases. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification Primary—33D45; Secondary—33D8 This work was supported in part by an NSERC grant A6197.     

Chain sequences and symmetric generalized orthogonal polynomials

In this paper, we derive an explicit expression for the parameter sequences of a chain sequence in terms of the corresponding orthogonal polynomials and their associated polynomials. We use this to study the orthogonal polynomials K_n^(λ,M,k) associated with the probability measure dφ(λ,M,k;x), which is the Gegenbauer measure of parameter λ+1 with two additional mass points at ±k. When k=1 we obtain information on the polynomials K_n^(λ,M) which are the symmetric Koornwinder polynomials. Monotonicity properties of the zeros of K_n^(λ,M,k) in relation to M and k are also given.     

ON THE MODIFICATIONS OF CLASSICAL ORTHOGONAL POLYNOMIALS: THE SYMMETRIC CASE

We consider the modifications of the monic Hermite and Gegenbauer polynomials via the addition of one point mass at the origin. Some properties of the resulting polynomials are studied ; three-term recurrence relation, differential equation, ratio asymptotics, hypergeometric representation as well as, for large n, the behaviour of their zeros.     

A basic class of symmetric orthogonal polynomials using the extended Sturm-Liouville theorem for symmetric functions

In this research, by applying the extended Sturm-Liouville theorem for symmetric functions, a basic class of symmetric orthogonal polynomials (BCSOP) with four free parameters is introduced and all its standard properties, such as a generic second order differential equation along with its explicit polynomial solution, a generic orthogonality relation, a generic three term recurrence relation and so on, are presented. Then, it is shown that four main sequences of symmetric orthogonal polynomials can essentially be extracted from the introduced class. They are respectively the generalized ultraspherical polynomials, generalized Hermite polynomials and two other sequences of symmetric polynomials, which are finitely orthogonal on (−∞,∞) and can be expressed in terms of the mentioned class directly. In this way, two half-trigonometric sequences of orthogonal polynomials, as special sub-cases of BCSOP, are also introduced.     

The symmetric D ω -semi-classical orthogonal polynomials of class one

We give the system of Laguerre–Freud equations associated with the D _ω -semi-classical functionals of class one, where D _ω is the divided difference operator. This system is solved in the symmetric case. There are essentially two canonical cases. The corresponding integral representations are given.     

Symmetric Fock space and orthogonal symmetric polynomials associated with the Calogero model

Using a similarity transformation that maps the Calogero model into N decoupled quantum harmonic oscillators, we construct a set of mutually commuting conserved operators of the model and their simultaneous eigenfunctions.The simultaneous eigenfunction is a deformation of the symmetrized number state (bosonic state) and forms an orthogonal basis of the Hilbert (Fock) space of the model. This orthogonal basis is different from the known one that is a variant of the Jack polynomial, i.e., the Hi-Jack polynomial. This fact shows that the conserved operators derived by the similarity transformation and those derived by the Dunkl operator formulation do not commute. Thus we conclude that the Calogero model has two, algebraically inequivalent sets of mutually commuting conserved operators, as is the case with the hydrogen atom. We also confirm the same story for the B_N-Calogero model.     

Laplace and Segal-Bargmann transforms on Hermitian symmetric spaces and orthogonal polynomials

Let be a complex bounded symmetric domain of tube type in a complex Jordan algebra V and let be its real form in a formally real Euclidean Jordan algebra J⊂V; is a bounded realization of the symmetric cone in J. We consider representations of H that are gotten by the generalized Segal-Bargmann transform from a unitary G-space of holomorphic functions on to an L²-space on . We prove that in the unbounded realization the inverse of the unitary part of the restriction map is actually the Laplace transform. We find the extension to of the spherical functions on and find their expansion in terms of the L-spherical polynomials on , which are Jack symmetric polynomials. We prove that the coefficients are orthogonal polynomials in an L²-space, the measure being the Harish-Chandra Plancherel measure multiplied by the symbol of the Berezin transform. We prove the difference equation and recurrence relation for those polynomials by considering the action of the Lie algebra and the Cayley transform on the polynomials on . Finally, we use the Laplace transform to study generalized Laguerre functions on symmetric cones.

A product formula for orthogonal polynomials associated with infinite distance-transitive graphs

The infinite, locally finite distance-transitive graphs form an extension of homogeneous trees and are described by two discrete parameters. The associated orthogonal polynomials may be regarded as spherical functions of certain Gelfand pairs or as characters of some polynomial hypergroups; they are certain Bernstein polynomials and admit a discrete nonnegative product formula. In this paper we use the graph-theoretic origin of these polynomials to derive the existence of positive dual continuous product and transfer formulas. The dual product formulas will be computed explicitly.     

Functions orthogonal to polynomials and their application in axially symmetric problems in physics

We investigate properties of sets of functions comprising countably many elements A_n such that every function A_n is orthogonal to all polynomials of degrees less than n. We propose an effective method for solving Fredholm integral equations of the first kind whose kernels are generating functions for these sets of functions. We study integral equations used to solve some axially symmetric problems in physics. We prove that their kernels are generating functions that produce functions in the studied families and find these functions explicitly. This allows determining the elements of the matrices of systems of linear equations related to the integral equations for considering the physical problems.

Relative symmetric polynomials

In this article, we introduce the notion of a relative symmetric polynomial with respect to a permutation group and an irreducible character and we give answers for some natural questions about their structures. In order to study symmetric polynomials with respect to linear characters, we define the concept of relative Vandermonde polynomial. Finally, we present some interesting research problems concerning relative symmetric polynomials.     

Companion orthogonal polynomials

We give some properties relating the recurrence relations of orthogonal polynomials associated with any two symmetric distributions dφ₁(x) and d₂(x) such that dφ₂(x) = (1 + kx²)d₁(x). As applications of properties, recurrence relations for many interesting systems of orthogonal polynomials are obtained.

Random symmetric polynomials

Let {Q⁽ⁿ⁾(x₁,...,x_n)} be a sequence of symmetric polynomials having a fixed degree equal to k. Let {X_n1,...,X_nn}, n k, be some sequence of series of random variables (r.v.). We form the sequence of r.v. Y_n=Q⁽ⁿ⁾(X_n1, ... X_nn), n k One obtains limit theorems for the sequence Y_n, under very general assumptions.Translated from Veroyatnostnye Raspredeleniya i Matematicheskaya Statistika, pp. 170–188, 1986.
