Abstract

We consider the family of polynomials pn(x;z),p_{n}\left( x;z\right) , orthogonal with respect to the inner product f,g=zzf(x)g(x)ex2dx. \left\langle f,g\right\rangle = \int_{-z}^{z} f\left( x\right) g\left( x\right) e^{-x^{2}} \,dx. We show some properties about the coefficients in their 3-term recurrence relation, connections between pn(x;z)p_{n}\left( x;z\right) and pn(x;z),p_{n}^{\prime}\left( x;z\right) , a second order differential equation satisfied by pn(x;z),p_{n}\left( x;z\right) , and an electrostatic interpretation of their zeros.
