This paper explores a class of rational functions r(s(z)) with degree mn, where s(z) is a polynomial of degree m. Inequalities are derived for rational functions with specified poles, extending and refining previous results in the eld.
In this paper, we investigate an upper bound of the polar derivative of a polynomial of degree $n$ $$p(z)=(z-z_m)^{t_m} (z-z_{m-1})^{t_{m-1}}\cdots (z-z_0)^{t_0}(a_0+\sum\limits_{\nu=\mu} ^{n-(t_m+\cdots+t_0)} a_{\nu}z^\nu)$$ where zeros…
In this note we will present how Euler's investigations on various different subjects lead to certain properties of the Legendre polynomials. More precisely, we will show that the generating function and the difference equation for the…
It is well-known that separation of variables in 2nd order partial differential equations (PDEs) for physical problems with spherical symmetry usually leads to Cauchy's differential equation for the radial coordinate and Legendre's…
We present a new fractional Taylor formula for singular functions whose Caputo fractional derivatives are of bounded variation. It bridges and ``interpolates" the usual Taylor formulas with two consecutive integer orders. This enables us to…
Most of the special functions of mathematical physics are connected with the representation of Lie groups. The action of elements $D$ of the associated Lie algebras as linear differential operators gives relations among the functions in a…
Let $P(z)$ be a polynomial of degree $n$ having no zero in $|z|<k$ where $k\geq 1,$ then for every real or complex number $\alpha$ with $|\alpha|\geq 1$ it is known \begin{equation*} \underset{|z|=1}{\max}|D_\alpha P(z)|\leq…
In this paper, we study the scaling properties of Legendre polynomials Pn(x). We show that Pn(ax), where a is a constant, can be expanded as a sum of either Legendre polynomials Pn(x) or their multiple derivatives dkPn(x)/dxk, and we derive…

For the associated Legendre and Ferrers functions of the first and second kind, we obtain new multi-derivative and multi-integral representation formulas. The multi-integral representation formulas that we derive for these functions…
In this paper we introduce elementary and completely explicit formulas for the derivative of any order of any function of the type 1/p, where p is a polynomial with known zeros.
Motivated by two Legendre-type formulas for overpartitions, we derive a variety of their companions as Legendre theorems for overpartition pairs. This leads to equalities of subclasses of overpartitions and overpartition pairs.
We introduce a new class of polynomials $\{P_{n}\}$, that we call polar Legendre polynomials, they appear as solutions of an inverse Gauss problem of equilibrium position of a field of forces with $n+1$ unit masses. We study algebraic,…
We compute the nth derivative of a function given parametrically, and of one given implicitly, and some history for both problems. I am posting this version of the paper at the request of Shaul Zemel, whose forthcoming paper The…
Let $\{Q_{n}(x)\}$ be a system of integral Legendre polynomials of degree exactly n,and let $\{P_{n}(x)\}$ be polar polynomials primitives of integral Legendre polynomials. We derive some identities and relations and extremal problems and…
We introduce a basis of rational polynomial-like functions $P_0,\ldots,P_{n-1}$ for the free module of functions $Z/nZ\to Z/mZ$. We then characterize the subfamily of congruence preserving functions as the set of linear combinations of the…

An explicit expression of the k-th derivative of the Bessel function $J_\nu(z)$, with respect to its order $\nu$, is given. Particularizations for the cases of positive or negative $\nu$ are considered.
Let $D_\alpha P(z)=nP(z)+(\alpha-z)P^{\prime}(z)$ denote the polar derivative of a polynomial $P(z)$ of degree $n$ with respect to a point $\alpha\in\mathbb{C}.$ In this paper, we present a correct proof, independent of Laguerre's theorem,…
We present a new formula for the highest power of $a+b$ that divides the sum $B(n,m,a,b)=\sum_{k=0}^{n}\binom{n}{k}^m a^{n-k}b^k$ for the case $m=2$. By using this formula, we give complete 3-adic valuation for central Dellanoy numbers.…
