Orthogonality of the Jacobi and of Laguerre polynomials, P_n^(a,b) and L_n^(a), is established for a,b complex (a,b not negative integers and a+b different from -2,-3,...) using the Hadamard finite part of the integral which gives their…

We use the recent findings of Cohl [arXiv:1105.2735] and evaluate two integrals involving the Gegenbauer polynomials: $\int_{-1}^{x}\mathrm{d}t\:(1-t^{2})^{\lambda-1/2}(x-t)^{-\kappa-1/2}C_{n}^{\lambda}(t)$ and…
