Given a polynomial $p$, the degree of its Chebyshev's method $C_p$ is determined. If $p$ is cubic then the degree of $C_p$ is found to be $4,6$ or $7$ and we investigate the dynamics of $C_p$ in these cases. If a cubic polynomial $p$ is…
Chebyshev polynomials of the first and second kind for a set K are monic polynomials with minimal L $\infty$-and L 1-norm on K, respectively. This articles presents numerical procedures based on semidefinite programming to compute these…
A class P_{n,m,p}(x) of polynomials is defined. The combinatorial meaning of its coefficients is given. Chebyshev polynomials are the special cases of P_{n,m,p}(x). It is first shown that P_{n,m,p}(x) may be expressed in terms of…
The Feigenbaum-Cvitanovic equation -lambda * g(x)= g(g(lambda * x)) is solved over the interval 0 <= x <= 1 with a Chebyshev series representation of g(x). Accurate expansion coefficients are tabulated for solutions g(x) = 1+O(x^z) with…
The even and odd Zernike Polynomials R_n^m(x) can be expanded into sums of even and odd Chebyshev Polynomials T_i(x). This manuscript provides closed forms for the rational expansion coefficients c_{n,m,i} for a set of small 0 <= n-m <= 6…
In 1683 Tschirnhaus claimed to have developed an algebraic method to determine the roots of any degree $n$ polynomial. His argument was flawed, but it spurred a great deal of work by mathematicians including Bring, Jerrard, Hamilton,…
In this paper, by using the orthogonality type as defined in the umbral calculus, we derive explicit formula for several well known polynomials as a linear combination of the Apostol-Euler polynomials.
[Inserted by J. Maurice Rojas] We give a formula for the number of complex roots of a generic system of two polynomial equations in two unknowns. The formula is completely combinatorial, ultimately depending just on the convex hull of the…
Orthogonal polynomials have very useful properties in the solution of mathematical problems, so recent years have seen a great deal in the field of approximation theory using orthogonal polynomials. In this paper, we characterize the…
Askey and Gasper (1976) proved a trigonometric inequality which improves another trigonometric inequality found by M. S. Robertson (1945). Here these inequalities are reformulated in terms of the Chebyshev polynomial of the first kind $T_n$…
A general formula is presented for any order derivative of Chebyshev polynomials instead of the existing recursive relationship. Hence, the Chebyshev finite difference method is made applicable not only to second order problems but also to…
This article is concerned with an extension of univariate Chebyshev polynomials of the first kind to the multivariate setting, where one chases best approximants to specific monomials by polynomials of lower degree relative to the uniform…
Partitions of the set of primes are introduced based on the Chebyshev polynomials at rationals. The prime densities of all such partitions are established. Euler's Criterion for $SL(2,\mathbb Q)$ is formulated, which is the bridge between…
We define a class of multivariate Laurent polynomials closely related to Chebyshev polynomials, and prove the simple but somewhat surprising (in view of the fact that the signs of the coefficients of the Chebyshev polynomials themselves…
The sequence of period 6 starting with 1, 1, 0, -1, -1, 0 appears in many different disguises in mathematics. Various q-versions of this sequence are found, and their relations with Euler's pentagonal numbers theorem and Chebyshev…
In 1969 Harold Widom published his seminal paper, which gave a complete description of orthogonal and Chebyshev polynomials on a system of smooth Jordan curves. When there were Jordan arcs present the theory of orthogonal polynomials turned…
Recently, $(\beta,\gamma)$-Chebyshev functions, as well as the corresponding zeros, have been introduced as a generalization of classical Chebyshev polynomials of the first kind and related roots. They consist of a family of orthogonal…
Notions of directional Chebyshev constant and transfinite diameter have recently been studied on certain algebraic curves in $\mathbb{C}^2$. The theory is extended here to curves in $\mathbb{C}^N$ for arbitrary $N$. The results are…
Ramanujan (1916) expressed quotients of certain q-series as polynomials of Eisenstein series of degree 2, 4, 6 and derived the famous Ramanujan's differential equations. We continue this research with the variants of Eisenstein-type series…
We consider the differential equations y''=\lambda_0(x)y'+s_0(x)y, where \lambda_0(x), s_0(x) are C^{\infty}-functions. We prove (i) if the differential equation, has a polynomial solution of degree n >0, then \delta_n=\lambda_n…
