We prove that the generalised Laguerre polynomials $L_{n}^{(\alpha)}(x)$ with $0\le \al\le 50$ are irreducible except for finitely many pairs $(n, \al)$ and that these exceptions are necessary. In fact it follows from a more general…

Persson and Strang (2003) evaluated the integral over [-1,1] of a squared odd degree Legendre polynomial divided by x^2 as being equal to 2. We consider a similar integral for orthogonal polynomials with respect to a general even…

For any orthogonal polynomials system on real line we construct an appropriate oscillator algebra such that the polynomials make up the eigenfunctions system of the oscillator hamiltonian. The general scheme is divided into two types: a…

Of the $(2H+1)^n$ monic integer polynomials $f(x)=x^n+a_1 x^{n-1}+\cdots+a_n$ with $\max\{|a_1|,\ldots,|a_n|\}\leq H$, how many have associated Galois group that is not the full symmetric group $S_n$? There are clearly $\gg H^{n-1}$ such…

It has been recently discovered that exceptional families of Sturm-Liouville orthogonal polynomials exist, that generalize in some sense the classical polynomials of Hermite, Laguerre and Jacobi. In this paper we show how new families of…

For a rational $q=u+\frac{\alpha}{d}$ with $u, \alpha, d\in \ACOBZ$ with $u\ge 0, 1\le \alpha<d$, $\gcd(\alpha, d)=1$, the \emph{generalized Hermite-Laguerre polynomials $G_q(x)$} are defined by \begin{align*} G_q(x)&=a_nx^n+a_{n-1}(\alpha…

Assume that $\{a_{n};\,n\geq0\}$ is a sequence of positive numbers and $\sum a_{n}^{\,-1}<\infty$. Let $\alpha_{n}=ka_{n}$, $\beta_{n}=a_{n}+k^{2}a_{n-1}$ where $k\in(0,1)$ is a parameter, and let $\{P_{n}(x)\}$ be an orthonormal polynomial…

The classical orthogonal polynomials (Hermite, Laguerre and Jacobi) are involved in a vast number of applications in physics and engineering. When large degrees $n$ are needed, the use of recursion to compute the polynomials is not a good…

In this paper we study a family of polynomials $$S_n^{(m)}(x):=\sum_{i,j=0}^n\binom ni^m\binom nj^m\binom{i+j}ix^{i+j}\ \ (m,n=0,1,2,\ldots).$$ For example, we show that $$\sum_{k=0}^{p-1}S_k^{(0)}(x)\equiv\frac…

Infinite series sum_{n=1}^infty {(alpha/2)_n / (n n!)}_1F_1(-n, gamma, x^2), where_1F_1(-n, gamma, x^2)={n!_(gamma)_n}L_n^(gamma-1)(x^2), appear in the first-order perturbation correction for the wavefunction of the generalized spiked…

Let $n\ge 3$ be an odd natural number. In 1738, Abraham de Moivre introduced a family of polynomials of degree $n$ with rational coefficients, all of which are solvable. So far, the Galois groups of these polynomials have been investigated…

A ladder algebraic structure for $L^2(\mathbb{R}^+)$ which closes the Lie algebra $h(1)\oplus h(1)$, where $h(1)$ is the Heisenberg-Weyl algebra, is presented in terms of a basis of associated Laguerre polynomials. Using the Schwinger…

We consider Laguerre polynomials $L_n^{(\alpha_n)}(nz)$ with varying negative parameters $\alpha_n$, such that the limit $A = -\lim_n \alpha_n/n$ exists and belongs to $(0,1)$. For $A > 1$, it is known that the zeros accumulate along an…

A cubic Galois polynomial is a cubic polynomial with rational coefficients that defines a cubic Galois field. Its discriminant is a full square and its roots $x_1,x_2,x_3$ (enumerated in some order) are real. There exists (and only one)…

The problem of computing \emph{the exponent lattice} which consists of all the multiplicative relations between the roots of a univariate polynomial has drawn much attention in the field of computer algebra. As is known, almost all…

We study the distribution of the Galois group of a random $q$-additive polynomial over a rational function field: For $q$ a power of a prime $p$, let $f=X^{q^n}+a_{n-1}X^{q^{n-1}}+\ldots+a_1X^q+a_0X$ be a random polynomial chosen uniformly…

In this paper we study the asymptotics (as $n\to \infty$) of the sequences of Laguerre polynomials with varying complex parameters $\alpha$ depending on the degree $n$. More precisely, we assume that $\alpha_n = n A_n, $ and $ \lim_n A_n=A…

The linearization coefficient $\mathcal{L}(L_{n_1}(x)\dots L_{n_k}(x))$ of classical Laguerre polynomials $L_n(x)$ is known to be equal to the number of $(n_1,\dots,n_k)$-derangements, which are permutations with a certain condition.…
