Recurrence relations for orthogonal polynomials on a triangle

Classical Analysis and ODEs 2018-01-30 v1

Abstract

This paper derives sparse recurrence relations between orthogonal polynomials on a triangle and their partial derivatives, which are analogous to recurrence relations for Jacobi polynomials. We derive these recurrences in a systematic fashion by introducing ladder operators that map an orthogonal polynomial to another by incrementing or decrementing its associated parameters by one.
