We construct bivariate orthogonal polynomials (OPs) on algebraic curves of the form $y^m = \phi(x)$ in $\mathbb{R}^2$ where $m = 1, 2$ and $\phi$ is a polynomial of arbitrary degree $d$, in terms of univariate semiclassical OPs. We compute…
Locally variational systems of differential equations on smooth manifolds, having certain de Rham cohomology group trivial, automatically possess a global Lagrangian. This important result due to Takens is, how-ever, of sheaf-theoretic…
In this note, we establish a new closed formula for the solution of homogeneous second-order linear difference equations with constant coefficients by using matrix theory. This, in turn, gives new closed formulas concerning all sequences of…
