Peters type polynomials and numbers and their generating functions: Approach with p‐adic integral method

The aim of this paper is to introduce and investigate some of the primary generalizations and unifications of the Peters polynomials and numbers by means of convenient generating functions and p‐adic integrals method. Various fundamental properties of these polynomials and numbers involving some explicit series and integral representations in terms of the generalized Stirling numbers, generalized harmonic sums, and some well‐known special numbers and polynomials are presented. By using p‐adic integrals, we construct generating functions for Peters type polynomials and numbers (Apostol‐type Peters numbers and polynomials). By using these functions with their partial derivative eqautions and functional equations, we derive many properties, relations, explicit formulas, and identities including the Apostol‐Bernoulli polynomials, the Apostol‐Euler polynomials, the Boole polynomials, the Bernoulli polynomials, and numbers of the second kind, generalized harmonic sums. A brief revealing and historical information for the Peters type polynomials are given. Some of the formulas given in this article are given critiques and comments between previously well‐known formulas. Finally, two open problems for interpolation functions for Apostol‐type Peters numbers and polynomials are revealed.     

A note on the polynomial solution of a class of dual integral equations arising in mixed boundary value problems of elasticity

Summary The present paper is concerned with finding an effective polynomial solution to a class of dual integral equations which arise in many mixed boundary value problems in the theory of elasticity. The dual integral equations are first transformed into a Fredholm integration equation of the second kind via an auxiliary function, which is next reduced to an infinite system of linear algebraic equations by representing the unknown auxiliary function in the form of an infinite series of Jacobi polynomials. The approximate solution of this infinite system of equations can be obtained by a suitable truncation. It is shown that the unknown function involving the dual integral equations can also be expressed in the form of an infinite series of Jacobi polynomials with the same expansion coefficients with no numerical integration involved. The main advantage of the present approach is that the solution of the dual integral equations thus obtained is numerically more stable than that obtained by reducing themdirectly into an infinite system of equations, insofar as the expansion coefficients are determined essentially by solving asecond kind integral equation.     

Point vortices and polynomials of the Sawada-Kotera and Kaup-Kupershmidt equations

Rational solutions and special polynomials associated with the generalized K ₂ hierarchy are studied. This hierarchy is related to the Sawada-Kotera and Kaup-Kupershmidt equations and some other integrable partial differential equations including the Fordy-Gibbons equation. Differential-difference relations and differential equations satisfied by the polynomials are derived. The relationship between these special polynomials and stationary configurations of point vortices with circulations Γ and −2Γ is established. Properties of the polynomials are studied. Differential-difference relations enabling one to construct these polynomials explicitly are derived. Algebraic relations satisfied by the roots of the polynomials are found.     

Stability analysis of methods employing reducible rules for volterra integral equations of the first kind

The concept of (A ₀,S)-stability for Volterra integral equations of the second kind will be extended to that of the first kind equations. We will show that stability polynomials for methods employing reducible quadrature rules, as applied to the first kind equations, can be trivially obtained from the results for the second kind equations.     

Extensions of some results of P. Humbert on Bezout's identity for classical orthogonal polynomials

In this paper, the Bezout's identity is analyzed in the context of classical orthogonal polynomials solution of a second order differential equation of hypergeometric type. Differential equations, relation with the starting family as well as recurrence relations and explicit representations are given for the Bezout's pair. Extensions to classical orthogonal polynomials of a discrete variable and their q-analogues are also presented. Applications of these results for the representation of the second kind functions are given.     

Biorthogonal polynomials for two-matrix models with semiclassical potentials

We consider the biorthogonal polynomials associated to the two-matrix model where the eigenvalue distribution has potentials V₁,V₂ with arbitrary rational derivative and whose supports are constrained on an arbitrary union of intervals (hard-edges). We show that these polynomials satisfy certain recurrence relations with a number of terms d_i depending on the number of hard-edges and on the degree of the rational functions . Using these relations we derive Christoffel–Darboux identities satisfied by the biorthogonal polynomials: this enables us to give explicit formulæ for the differential equation satisfied by d_i+1 consecutive polynomials, We also define certain integral transforms of the polynomials and use them to formulate a Riemann–Hilbert problem for (d_i+1)×(d_i+1) matrices constructed out of the polynomials and these transforms. Moreover, we prove that the Christoffel–Darboux pairing can be interpreted as a pairing between two dual Riemann–Hilbert problems.     

Stability analysis of methods employing reducible rules for Volterra integral equations

The concept of (A ₀,S)-stability, for numerical methods approximating solutions of Volterra integral equations, is formally defined. New stability polynomials for the recent multi-lag type methods are obtained. (A ₀, 1)-stability of these and other methods employing reducible quadrature rules are also investigated.     

Symmetry p-adic invariant integral on ℤ p for Bernoulli and Euler polynomials

The main purpose of this paper is to investigate several further interesting properties of symmetry for the p-adic invariant integrals on ? _p . From these symmetry, we can derive many interesting recurrence identities for Bernoulli and Euler polynomials. Finally we introduce the new concept of symmetry of fermionic p-adic invariant integral on ? _p . By using this symmetry of fermionic p-adic invariant integral on ? _p , we will give some relations of symmetry between the power sum polynomials and Euler numbers. The relation between the q-Bernoulli polynomials and q-Dedekind type sums which discussed in Y. Simsek (q-Dedekind type sums related to q-zeta function and basic L-series, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 318 (2006), pp. 333–351) can be also derived by using the properties of symmetry of fermionic p-adic integral on ? _p .     

Bi-axial Gegenbauer Functions of the Second Kind

Bi-axially symmetric monogenic generating functions on ^{p + q} have been used recently to define generalisations of Gegenbauer polynomials. These polynomials are orthogonal on the unit ball in ^p. Generalised Cauchy transforms of these polynomials are used to define corresponding bi-axial Gegenbauer functions of the second kind. It is demonstrated that these functions of the second kind satisfy second order differential equations related to those satisfied by the corresponding bi-axial Gegenbauer polynomials.     

Polynomial solutions of the classical equations of Hermite,Legendre, and Chebyshev

The classical differential equations of Hermite, Legendre, and Chebyshev are well known for their polynomial solutions. These polynomials occur in the solutions to numerous problems in applied mathematics, physics, and engineering. However, since these equations are of second order, they also have second linearly independent solutions that are not polynomials. These solutions usually cannot be expressed in terms of elementary functions alone. In this paper, the classical differential equations of Hermite, Legendre, and Chebyshev are studied when they have a forcing term x ^M on the right-hand side. It will be shown that for each equation, choosing a certain initial condition is a necessary and sufficient condition for ensuring a polynomial solution. Once this initial condition is determined, the exact form of the polynomial solution is presented.     

Conformal Mappings and Inequalities for Algebraic Polynomials. II

This paper supplements the previous paper of the author under the same title. An analog of the Schwarz boundary lemma is proved for non-univalent regular mappings of subsets of the unit disk onto a disk. Based on this result, certain strengthened inequalities of Bernstein type for algebraic polynomials are obtained. The generalized Mendeleev problem is discussed. Two-sided bounds for the module of the derivative of a polynomial with critical points on an interval are established. Bounds for the coefficients of polynomials under certain constraints are provided. Bibliography: 16 titles.__________Translated from Zapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov POMI, Vol. 302, 2003, pp. 18–37.     

Double convolution integral equations involving a general class of multivariable polynomials and the multivariableH-functions

In this paper we have solved a double convolution integral equation whose kernel involves the product of theH-functions of several variables and a general class of multivariable polynomials. Due to general nature of the kernel, we can obtain from it, solutions of a large number of double and single convolution integral equations involving products of several classical orthogonal polynomials and simpler functions. We have also obtained here solutions of two double convolution integral equations as special cases of our main result. Exact reference of three known results, which are obtainable as particular cases of one of these special cases, have also been included.     

Families of orthogonal Laurent polynomials,hyperelliptic lie algebras and elliptic integrals

We describe a family of polynomials discovered via a particular recursion relation, which have connections to Chebyshev polynomials of the first and the second kind, and the polynomial version of Pell's equation. Many of their properties are listed in Section 3. We show that these families of polynomials in the variable t satisfy certain second-order linear differential equations that may be of interest to mathematicians in conformal field theory and number theory. We also prove that these families of polynomials in the setting of Date–Jimbo–Kashiwara–Miwa algebras when multiplied by a suitable power of t are orthogonal with respect to explicitly described kernels. Particular cases lead to new identities of elliptic integrals (see Section 5).     

Laguerre functions and representations of su(1,1)

Spectral analysis of a certain doubly infinite Jacobi operator leads to orthogonality relations for confluent hypergeometric functions, which are called Laguerre functions. This doubly infinite Jacobi operator corresponds to the action of a parabolic element of the Lie algebra su(l, 1). The Clebsch-Gordan coefficients for the tensor product representation of a positive and a negative discrete series representation of su(l,l) are determined for the parabolic bases. They turn out to be multiples of Jacobi functions. From the interpretation of Laguerre polynomials and functions as overlap coefficients, we obtain a product formula for the Laguerre polynomials, given by an integral over Laguerre functions, Jacobi functions and continuous dual Hahn polynomials.     

On q-orthogonal polynomials, dual to little and big q-Jacobi polynomials

We derive discrete orthogonality relations for polynomials, dual to little and big q-Jacobi polynomials. This derivation essentially requires use of bases, consisting of eigenvectors of certain self-adjoint operators, which are representable by a Jacobi matrix. Recurrence relations for these polynomials are also given.     

A generalization of classical orthogonal polynomials and the convergence of simultaneous Pade approximants

The concept of generalized classical polyorthogonal polynomials and, in particular, that of generalized Laguerre polynomials, corresponding to a collection of measures with supports on infinite rays in the complex plane, is introduced. The asymptotic behavior of these polynomials and of their corresponding functions of the second kind is investigated. Moreover, generalizations of the Bessel functions and of the Euler integral of the second kind are defined and investigated. The convergence of the simultaneous Pade approximants to certain Stieltjes type functions is proved.Translated from Trudy Seminara imeni I. G. Petrovskogo, No. 11, pp. 125–165, 1986.     

Divided-difference equation and three-term recurrence relations of some systems of bivariate q-orthogonal polynomials

Partial divided-difference equations and three-term recurrence relations satisfied by the bivariate Askey–Wilson and the bivariate q-Racah polynomials are computed in this work. By using limiting processes, partial divided (or q)-difference equations and three-term recurrence relations are also provided for each of the following families of orthogonal polynomials: the bivariate continuous dual q-Hahn, the bivariate Al-Salam-Chihara, the bivariate continuous q-Hahn, the bivariate q-Hahn, the bivariate dual q-Hahn, the bivariate q-Krawtchouk, the bivariate q-Meixner, and the bivariate q-Charlier polynomials.     

Matrix-valued polynomials generated by the scalar-type Rodrigues’ formulas

The properties of matrix-valued polynomials generated by the scalar-type Rodrigues’ formulas are analyzed. A general representation of these polynomials is found in terms of products of simple differential operators. The recurrence relations, leading coefficients, completeness are established, as well as, in the commutative case, the second order equations for which these polynomials are eigenfunctions and the corresponding eigenvalues, and ladder operators.A new, direct proof is given to the conjecture of Durán and Grünbaum that if the weights are self-adjoint and positive semidefinite then they are necessarily of scalar type.Commutative classes of orthogonal polynomials (corresponding to weights that are self-adjoint but not positive semidefinite) are found, which satisfy all the properties usually associated to orthogonal polynomials, and are not of scalar type.     

Nonlinear functional equations satisfied by orthogonal polynomials

Let c be a linear functional defined by its moments c(xⁱ)=c_i for i=0,1,…. We proved that the nonlinear functional equations P(t)=c(P(x)P(αx+t)) and P(t)=c(P(x)P(xt)) admit polynomial solutions which are the polynomials belonging to the family of formal orthogonal polynomials with respect to a linear functional related to c. This equation relates the polynomials of the family with those of the scaled and shifted family. Other types of nonlinear functional equations whose solutions are formal orthogonal polynomials are also presented. Applications to Legendre and Chebyshev polynomials are given. Then, orthogonality with respect to a definite inner product is studied. When c is an integral functional with respect to a weight function, the preceding functional equations are nonlinear integral equations, and these results lead to new characterizations of orthogonal polynomials on the real line, on the unit circle, and, more generally, on an algebraic curve.     

Unified presentation of p-adic L-functions associated with unification of the special numbers

By using partial differential equations (PDEs) of the generating functions for the unification of the Bernoulli, Euler and Genocchi polynomials and numbers, we derive many new identities and recurrence relations for these polynomials and numbers. In [33], Srivastava et al. defined a unified presentation of certain meromorphic functions related to the families of the partial zeta type functions. By using these functions, we construct p-adic functions which are related to the partial zeta type functions. By applying these p-adic function, we construct unified presentation of p-adic L-functions. These functions give us generalization of the Kubota–Leopoldt p-adic L-functions, which are related to the Bernoulli numbers and the other p-adic L-functions, which are related to the Euler numbers and polynomials. We also give some remarks and comments on these functions.
