An Orthogonality Property of the Legendre Polynomials

Classical Analysis and ODEs 2015-05-26 v1

Abstract

We give a remarkable additional orthogonality property of the classical Legendre polynomials on the real interval [1,1][-1,1]: polynomials up to degree nn from this family are mutually orthogonal under the arcsine measure weighted by the degree-nn normalized Christoffel function.
