Abstract

We explore differential operators, TT, that diagonalize on a simple basis, {Bn(x)}n=0\{B_n(x)\}_{n=0}^\infty, with respect to some sequence of real numbers, {an}n=0\{a_n\}_{n=0}^\infty, and sequence of polynomials, {Qk(x)}k=0\{Q_k(x)\}_{k=0}^\infty, as in T[Bn(x)]:=(k=0Qk(x)Dk)Bn(x)=anBn(x) T[B_n(x)]:=\left(\sum_{k=0}^\infty Q_k(x) D^k\right)B_n(x)=a_n B_n(x) for every nN0n\in\mathbb{N}_0. We discover new relationships between the sequence, {Qk(x)}k=0\{Q_k(x)\}_{k=0}^\infty, and the sequence, {an}n=0\{a_n\}_{n=0}^\infty. We find new relationships between polynomial interpolated eigenvalues and the sequence, {deg(Qk(x))}k=0\{\deg(Q_k(x))\}_{k=0}^\infty.
