The Jacobi polynomials on the simplex are orthogonal polynomials with respect to the weight function $W_\bg(x) = x_1^{\g_1} ... x_d^{\g_d} (1- |x|)^{\g_{d+1}}$ when all $\g_i > -1$ and they are eigenfunctions of a second order partial…
The Jacobi-Stirling numbers and the Legendre-Stirling numbers of the first and second kind were first introduced in [6], [7]. In this paper we note that Jacobi-Stirling numbers and Legendre-Stirling numbers are specializations of elementary…
In this paper, a link between $q$-difference equations, Jacobi operators and orthogonal polynomials is given. Replacing the variable $x$ by $ q^{-n}$ in a Sturm-Liouville $q$-difference equation we discovered the Jacobi operator. With…
In the present note we obtain new results on two conjectures by Csordas et al. regarding the interlacing property of zeros of special polynomials. These polynomials came from the Jacobi tau methods for the Sturm-Liouville eigenvalue…
The Bessel function of the first kind $J_{N}\left(kx\right)$ is expanded in a Fourier-Legendre series, as is the modified Bessel functions of the first kind $I_{N}\left(kx\right)$. The purpose of these expansions in Legendre polynomials was…
We revisit basics of classical Sturm-Liouville theory and, as an application, recover Bochner's classification of second order ODEs with polynomial coefficients and polynomial solutions by a new argument. We also outline how a wider class…
In the theory of approximation there are some problems on approximation of compacts in functional spaces by nonlinear families : first we deal with the polynomial case, and then we consider the analytic case. We demonstrate a negative…
In this paper we generalize and specialize generating functions for classical orthogonal polynomials, namely Jacobi, Gegenbauer, Chebyshev and Legendre polynomials. We derive a generalization of the generating function for Gegenbauer…
Define {\em the Liouville function for $A$}, a subset of the primes $P$, by $\lambda_{A}(n) =(-1)^{\Omega_A(n)}$ where $\Omega_A(n)$ is the number of prime factors of $n$ coming from $A$ counting multiplicity. For the traditional Liouville…
We study how well Fekete polynomials $$ F_p(X) = \sum_{n=0}^{p-1} \left(\frac{n}{p}\right) X^n \in {\mathbb Z}[X] $$ with the coefficients given by Legendre symbols modulo a prime $p$, can be approximated by power series representing…
Szmytkowski derived a certain integral with Gegenbauer polynomials. A natural generalization is to derive lookalike integrals with Jacobi polynomials. Six methods are treated to derive the first integral. The first method should be enough…
Let ${\bf P}_k^{(\alpha, \beta)} (x)$ be an orthonormal Jacobi polynomial of degree $k.$ We will establish the following inequality \begin{equation*} \max_{x \in [\delta_{-1},\delta_1]}\sqrt{(x- \delta_{-1})(\delta_1-x)}…
Lin and Chang gave a generating function of convex polyominoes with an $m+1$ by $n+1$ minimal bounding rectangle. Gessel showed that their result implies that the number of such polyominoes is $$ \frac{m+n+mn}{m+n}{2m+2n\choose…
Asymptotic approximations of Jacobi polynomials are given in terms of elementary functions for large degree $n$ and parameters $\alpha$ and $\beta$. From these new results, asymptotic expansions of the zeros are derived and methods are…
Orthogonal polynomials on the real line always satisfy a three-term recurrence relation. The recurrence coefficients determine a tridiagonal semi-infinite matrix (Jacobi matrix) which uniquely characterizes the orthogonal polynomials. We…
We investigate the differential equation for the Jacobi-type polynomials which are orthogonal on the interval $[-1,1]$ with respect to the classical Jacobi measure and an additional point mass at one endpoint. This scale of higher-order…
The Jacobi-Stirling numbers of the first and second kinds were introduced in 2006 in the spectral theory and are polynomial refinements of the Legendre-Stirling numbers. Andrews and Littlejohn have recently given a combinatorial…
Dan Romik recently considered the Taylor coefficients of the Jacobi theta function around the complex multiplication point $i$. He then conjectured that the Taylor coefficients $d(n)$ either vanish or are periodic modulo any prime ${p}$;…
By starting with Durand's double integral representation for a product of two Jacobi functions of the second kind, we derive an integral representation for a product of two Jacobi functions of the second kind in kernel form. We also derive…
Motivated by the works of L. Carlitz, R. Chapman and Z.-W. Sun on cyclotomic matrices, in this paper, we investigate certain cyclotomic matrices concerning the Jacobi sums over finite fields, which can be viewed as finite field analogues of…
