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 a positive integer $n$ and a real number $\alpha$, the generalized Laguerre polynomials are defined by \begin{align*} L^{(\alpha)}_n(x)=\sum^n_{j=0}\frac{(n+\alpha)(n-1+\alpha)\cdots (j+1+\alpha)(-x)^j}{j!(n-j)!}. \end{align*} These…

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…
