We construct noncomplete orthogonal systems on the ray $[0,\infty)$ that look like Jacobi polynomials $P_n(x)$ after a shift of degree $n\mapsto n+a$, where $a$ is a real constant. These systems are solutions of some exotic Sturm-Liouville…
In this paper, we consider spectral approximation of fractional differential equations (FDEs). A main ingredient of our approach is to define a new class of generalized Jacobi functions (GJFs), which is intrinsically related to fractional…
In this paper, we consider the second-order differential expression \ell [y](x)=(1-x^2)(-(y'(x))'+k(1-x^2)^(-1)y(x))(x\in(-1,1)). This is the Jacobi differential expression with non-classical parameters {\alpha} = {\beta}= -1 in contrast to…

Orthogonal polynomials of degree $n$ with respect to the weight function $W_\mu(x) = (1-\|x\|^2)^\mu$ on the unit ball in $\RR^d$ are known to satisfy the partial differential equation $$ [ \Delta - \la x, \nabla \ra^2 - (2 \mu +d) \la x,…
We propose a spectral collocation method, based on the generalized Jacobi wavelets along with the Gauss-Jacobi quadrature formula, for solving a class of third-kind Volterra integral equations. To do this, the interval of integration is…
We find and discuss asymptotic formulas for orthonormal polynomials $P_{n}(z)$ with recurrence coefficients $a_{n}, b_{n}$. Our main goal is to consider the case where off-diagonal elements $a_{n}\to\infty$ as $n\to\infty$. Formulas…
We generalize a previous result concerning free martingale polynomials for the stationary free Jacobi process of parameters $\lambda \in ]0.1], \theta = 1/2$. Hopelessly, apart from the case $\lambda = 1$, the polynomials we derive are no…

We consider orthogonal polynomials on the unit circle associated with certain semi-classical weight functions. This means that the Pearson-type differential equations satisfied by these weight functions involve two polynomials of degree at…
We prove a set of general theorems that provide new nonlocal constants and first integrals for nonlinear Jacobi-type ordinary differential equations. Applications include equations of the Painleve-Gambier classification.
This paper studies properties of q-Jacobi polynomials and their duals by means of operators of the discrete series representations for the quantum algebra U_q(su_{1,1}). Spectrum and eigenfunctions of these operators are found explicitly.…
