In the present paper, we deal mainly with arithmetic properties of Legendre polynomials by using their orthogonality property. We show that Legendre polynomials are proportional with Bernoulli, Euler, Hermite and Bernstein polynomials.
We prove {\em sign equidistribution} of Legendre polynomials: the ratio between the lengths of the regions in the interval $[-1, 1]$ where the Legendre polynomial assumes positive versus negative values, converges to one as the degree…

A linear functional $\bf u$ is classical if there exist polynomials, $\phi$ and $\psi$, with $\deg \phi\le 2$, $\deg \psi=1$, such that ${\mathscr D}\left(\phi(x) {\bf u}\right)=\psi(x){\bf u}$, where ${\mathscr D}$ is a certain…
