Orthogonal polynomial approach to discrete Lax pairs for initial boundary-value problems of the QD algorithm

Using orthogonal polynomial theory, we construct the Lax pair for the quotient-difference algorithm in the natural Rutishauser variables. We start by considering the family of orthogonal polynomials corresponding to a given linear form. Shifts on the linear form give rise to adjacent families. A compatible set of linear problems is made up from two relations connecting adjacent and original polynomials. Lax pairs for several initial boundary-value problems are derived and we recover the discrete-time Toda chain equations of Hirota and of Suris. This approach allows us to derive a Bäcklund transform that relates these two different discrete-time Toda systems. We also show that they yield the same bilinear equation up to a gauge transformation. The singularity confinement property is discussed as well.     

Solution of Spin and Pseudo-Spin Symmetric Dirac Equation in (1+1) Space-Time Using Tridiagonal Representation Approach

The aim of this work is to find exact solutions of the Dirac equation in(1+1) space-time beyond the already known class.We consider exact spin(and pseudo-spin) symmetric Dirac equations where the scalar potential is equal to plus(and minus) the vector potential.We also include pseudo-scalar potentials in the interaction.The spinor wavefunction is written as a bounded sum in a complete set of square integrable basis,which is chosen such that the matrix representation of the Dirac wave operator is tridiagonal and symmetric.This makes the matrix wave equation a symmetric three-term recursion relation for the expansion coefficients of the wavefunction.We solve the recursion relation exactly in terms of orthogonal polynomials and obtain the state functions and corresponding relativistic energy spectrum and phase shift.     

Universality in Orthogonal and Symplectic Invariant Matrix Models with Quartic Potential

In this work, we develop an orthogonal-polynomials approach for random matrices with orthogonal or symplectic invariant laws, called one-matrix models with polynomial potential in theoretical physics, which are a generalization of Gaussian random matrices. The representation of the correlation functions in these matrix models, via the technique of quaternion determinants, makes use of matrix kernels. We get new formulas for matrix kernels, generalizing the known formulas for Gaussian random matrices, which essentially express them in terms of the reproducing kernel of the theory of orthogonal polynomials. Finally, these formulas allow us to prove the universality of the local statistics of eigenvalues, both in the bulk and at the edge of the spectrum, for matrix models with two-band quartic potential by using the asymptotics given by Bleher and Its for the corresponding orthogonal polynomials.     

Duality of Orthogonal Polynomials on a Finite Set

We prove a certain duality relation for orthogonal polynomials defined on a finite set. The result is used in a direct proof of the equivalence of two different ways (using particles or holes) of computing the correlation functions of a discrete orthogonal polynomial ensemble.     

On invariant and covariant Schwartz distributions in the case of a compact linear group

A proof is given for the representations of invariant and covariant (Schwartz) distributions onR ⁿ , which are often used in theoretical physics. We express invariant distributions as distributions of standard polynomial invariants and decompose covariant distributions in standard polynomial covariants. Our consideration is restricted to compact groups acting linearly onR ⁿ . The representation for invariant distributions is obtained provided the standard invariants form an algebraically independent generating set in the ring of invariant polynomials. As for the standard covariants we assume that in the class of covariant polynomials they provide a unique decomposition into a sum of the standard covariants multiplied with invariant polynomials.     

Representation of the quantum mechanical wavefunction by orthogonal polynomials in the energy and physical parameters

We present a formulation of quantum mechanics based on the theory of orthogonal polynomials.The wavefunction is expanded over a complete set of square integrable basis where the expansion coefficients are orthogonal polynomials in the energy and physical parameters. Information about the corresponding physical systems(both structural and dynamical) are derived from the properties of these polynomials. We demonstrate that an advantage of this formulation is that the class of exactly solvable quantum mechanical problems becomes larger than in the conventional formulation(see, for example, table 3 in the text). We limit our investigation in this work to the Askey classification scheme of hypergeometric orthogonal polynomials and focus on the Wilson polynomial and two of its limiting cases(the Meixner–Pollaczek and continuous dual Hahn polynomials). Nonetheless, the formulation is amenable to other classes of orthogonal polynomials.     

An extended class of L-series solutions of the wave equation

We lift the constraint of a diagonal representation of the Hamiltonian by searching for square integrable bases that support an infinite tridiagonal matrix representation of the wave operator. The class of solutions obtained as such includes the discrete (for bound states) as well as the continuous (for scattering states) spectrum of the Hamiltonian. The problem translates into finding solutions of the resulting three-term recursion relation for the expansion coefficients of the wavefunction. These are written in terms of orthogonal polynomials, some of which are modified versions of known polynomials. The examples given, which are not exhaustive, include problems in one and three dimensions.     

Orthogonal polynomials on a family of Cantor sets and the problem of iterations of quadratic mappings

We first study a family of invariant transformations for the integer moment problem. The fixed point of these transformations generates a positive measure with support on a Cantor set depending on a parameter q. We analyze the structure and properties of the set of orthogonal polynomials with respect to this measure. Among these polynomials, we find the iterates of the canonical quadratic mapping: F(x)=(x–q) ², q2. It appears that the measure is invariant with respect to this mapping. Algebraic relations among these polynomials are shown to be analytically continuable below q=2, where bifurcation doubling among stable cycles occurs. As the simplest possible consequence we analyze the neighborhood of q=2 (transition region) for q<2.     

Time-dependent generalized polynomial chaos

Generalized polynomial chaos (gPC) has non-uniform convergence and tends to break down for long-time integration. The reason is that the probability density distribution (PDF) of the solution evolves as a function of time. The set of orthogonal polynomials associated with the initial distribution will therefore not be optimal at later times, thus causing the reduced efficiency of the method for long-time integration. Adaptation of the set of orthogonal polynomials with respect to the changing PDF removes the error with respect to long-time integration. In this method new stochastic variables and orthogonal polynomials are constructed as time progresses. In the new stochastic variable the solution can be represented exactly by linear functions. This allows the method to use only low order polynomial approximations with high accuracy. The method is illustrated with a simple decay model for which an analytic solution is available and subsequently applied to the three mode Kraichnan–Orszag problem with favorable results.

New Properties of the Zeros of Krall Polynomials

We identify a new class of algebraic relations satisfied by the zeros of orthogonal polynomials that are eigenfunctions of linear differential operators of order higher than two, known as Krall polynomials. Given an orthogonal polynomial family , we relate the zeros of the polynomial p_N with the zeros of p_m for each m ≤ N (the case m = N corresponding to the relations that involve the zeros of p_N only). These identities are obtained by finding exact expressions for the similarity transformation that relates the spectral and the (interpolatory) pseudospectral matrix representations of linear differential operators, while using the zeros of the polynomial p_N as the interpolation nodes. The proposed framework generalizes known properties of classical orthogonal polynomials to the case of nonclassical polynomial families of Krall type. We illustrate the general result by proving new identities satisfied by the Krall-Legendre, the Krall-Laguerre and the Krall-Jacobi orthogonal polynomials.     

Generation of new classes of exactly solvable potential from the trigonometric Rosen-Morse potential

Exact analytic solutions of the Schr?dinger equation are obtained for classes of newly constructed potentials which are generated from the trigonometric Rosen-Morse potential as the input reference potential via extended transformation method. A set of quantized energy spectra of the bound states and the corresponding wave functions of the generated potentials are obtained. We also focus on to the Romanovski Polynomials which is a family of the real orthogonal polynomials and is required to present exact real analytic solutions of the generated potentials.     

Invariant Amplitudes for Coherent Electromagnetic Pseudoscalar Production from a Spin-One Target, II: Crossing, Multipoles, and Observables

 The formal properties of the recently derived set of linearly independent invariant amplitudes for the electromagnetic production of a pseudoscalar particle from a spin-one particle have been further exploited. The crossing properties are discussed in detail. Since not all of the amplitudes have simple crossing behaviour, we introduce an alternative set of basic amplitudes which are either symmetric or antisymmetric under crossing. The multipole decomposition is given, and the representation of the multipoles as integrals over the invariant functions weighted with Legendre polynomials is derived. Furthermore, differential cross section and polarization observables are expressed in terms of the corresponding invariant functions.

On the classification of quasihomogeneous functions

We give a criterion for the existence of a non-degenerated quasihomogeneous polynomial in a configuration, i.e. in the space of polynomials with a fixed set of weights, and clarify the relation of this criterion to the necessary condition derived from the formula for the Poincaré polynomial. We further prove finiteness of the number of configurations for a given value of the singularity index. For the value 3 of this index, which is of particular interest in string theory, a constructive version of this proof implies an algorithm for the calculation of all non-degenerate configurations.     

Free Meixner States

Free Meixner states are a class of functionals on non-commutative polynomials introduced in [Ans06]. They are characterized by a resolvent-type form for the generating function of their orthogonal polynomials, by a recursion relation for those polynomials, or by a second-order non-commutative differential equation satisfied by their free cumulant functional. In this paper, we construct an operator model for free Meixner states. By combinatorial methods, we also derive an operator model for their free cumulant functionals. This, in turn, allows us to construct a number of examples. Some of these examples are shown to be trivial, in the sense of being free products of functionals which depend on only a single variable, or rotations of such free products. On the other hand, the multinomial distribution is a free Meixner state and is not a product. Neither is a large class of tracial free Meixner states which are analogous to the simple quadratic exponential families in statistics. This work was supported in part by NSF grant DMS-0613195.

利用傅里叶变换得到了Zernike多项式和环扇域内正交多项式的功率谱密度（PSD）分布,以及正交多项式每项所对应的峰值径向空间频率和半峰值径向空间频率范围。通过对比发现,正交多项式与相同阶的Zernike多项式PSD分布相似,但是却含有更高的空间频率成分。通过计算机仿真,发现正交多项式中每一项都基本上只代表特定的空间频率范围,根据相位度量的环扇形镜面面形空间频率分布,选择适当的正交多项式的项进行拟合,不仅能够节省运算时间,而且还可以保证拟合精度。

Exact and approximate solutions to Schrödinger’s equation with decatic potentials

The one-dimensional Schrödinger’s equation is analysed with regard to the existence of exact solutions for decatic polynomial potentials. Under certain conditions on the potential’s parameters, we show that the decatic polynomial potential V (x) = ax ¹⁰ + bx ⁸ + cx ⁶ + dx ⁴ + ex ², a > 0 is exactly solvable. By examining the polynomial solutions of certain linear differential equations with polynomial coefficients, the necessary and sufficient conditions for corresponding energy-dependent polynomial solutions are given in detail. It is also shown that these polynomials satisfy a four-term recurrence relation, whose real roots are the exact energy eigenvalues. Further, it is shown that these polynomials generate the eigenfunction solutions of the corresponding Schrödinger equation. Further analysis for arbitrary values of the potential parameters using the asymptotic iteration method is also presented.
