We glue two families of Bernstein-Szego polynomials to construct the eigenbasis of an associated finite-dimensional Jacobi matrix. This gives rise to finite orthogonality relations for this composite eigenbasis of Bernstein-Szego…
In this article, we prove that every unicritical polynomial map that has only rational multipliers is either a power map or a Chebyshev map. This provides some evidence in support of a conjecture by Milnor concerning rational maps whose…
Orthogonal polynomials on quadratic curves in the plane are studied. These include orthogonal polynomials on ellipses, parabolas, hyperbolas, and two lines. For an integral with respect to an appropriate weight function defined on any…
We study an infinite class of sequences of sparse polynomials that have binomial coefficients both as exponents and as coefficients. This generalizes a sequence of sparse polynomials which arises in a natural way as graph theoretic…
We derive a general recurrence relation for squares of Fibonacci-like numbers. Various properties are developed, including double binomial summation identites.
We review the theory of optimal polynomial and rational Chebyshev approximations, and Zolotarev's formula for the sign function over the range (\epsilon \leq |z| \leq1). We explain how rational approximations can be applied to large sparse…
We investigate Chebyshev polynomials corresponding to Jacobi weights and determine monotonicity properties of their related Widom factors. This complements work by Bernstein from 1930-31 where the asymptotical behavior of the related…
We investigate combinatorial properties of a kind of insets we defined in an earlier paper, interpreting them now in terms of restricted ternary words. This allows us to give new combinatorial interpretations of a number of known integer…
Let P(x,d,a) denote the number of primes p<=x with p=a(mod d). Chebyshev's bias is the phenomenon that `more often' P(x;d,n)>P(x;d,r) than the other way around, where n is a quadratic non-residue mod d and r is a quadratic residue mod d. If…
The generating function of the second kind bivariate Chebyshev polynomials associated with the simple Lie algebra $G_2$ is constructed by the method proposed in \cite{DKS} and \cite{DKS1}.
We identify a recursive structure among factorizations of polynomial values into two integer factors. Polynomials for which this recursive structure characterizes all non-trivial representations of integer factorizations of the polynomial…
A classic result of Ritt describes polynomials invertible in radicals: they are compositions of power polynomials, Chebyshev polynomials and polynomials of degree at most 4. In this paper we prove that a polynomial invertible in radicals…
Given a symmetric polynomial $P$ in $2n$ variables, there exists a unique symmetric polynomial $Q$ in $n$ variables such that \[ P(x_1,\ldots,x_n,x_1^{-1},\ldots,x_n^{-1}) =Q(x_1+x_1^{-1},\ldots,x_n+x_n^{-1}). \] We denote this polynomial…
A Chebyshev knot ${\cal C}(a,b,c,\phi)$ is a knot which has a parametrization of the form $ x(t)=T_a(t); y(t)=T_b(t) ; z(t)= T_c(t + \phi), $ where $a,b,c$ are integers, $T_n(t)$ is the Chebyshev polynomial of degree $n$ and $\phi \in \R.$…
There is a vast theory of Chebyshev and residual polynomials and their asymptotic behavior. The former ones maximize the leading coefficient and the latter ones maximize the point evaluation with respect to an $L^\infty$ norm. We study…
In this work we demonstrate that the q-numbers and their two-parameter generalization, the q,p-numbers, can be used to obtain some polynomial invariants for torus knots and links. First, we show that the q-numbers, which are closely…
Motivated by the product formula of the Chebyshev polynomials of the second kind $U_n(x)$, we newly introduce the partial Chebyshev polynomials $U^{\mathrm{e}}_n(x)$ and $U^{\mathrm{o}}_n(x)$ and derive their basic properties, relations to…
Consider a rational family of planar rational curves in a certain region of interest. We are interested in finding an approximation to the implicit representation of the envelope. Since exact implicitization methods tend to be very costly,…
We propose a new method of calculation of generating functions of Chebyshev polynomials in several variables associated with root systems of simple Lie algebras. We obtain the generating functions of the polynomials in two variables…
The authors present a unified method for calculating the zeros of the classical orthogonal polynomials based upon the electrostatic interpretation and its connection to the energy minimization problem. Examples are given with error…
