Topic: Jacobi polynomials


  
  KARL JACOBI
Jacobi was the son of a prosperous banker, and remained independently wealthy until the family fortune was lost in 1840.
Jacobi was certainly not the first to use it; the "Jacobian" already appears in an 1815 paper of Cauchy.
Jacobi was appointed to a position at the University of Königsberg in 1826.

 Carl Gustav Jakob Jacobi Summary
Jacobi's main area of interest was in the branch of mathematics that dealt with elliptic functions.
Jacobi was also the first mathematician to apply elliptic functions to number theory, for example, proving the 2 square and 4 square theorems of Pierre de Fermat.
It was in analytical development that Jacobi’s peculiar power mainly lay, and he made many important contributions of this kind to other departments of mathematics, as a glance at the long list of papers that were published by him in Crelle’s Journal and elsewhere from 1826 onwards will sufficiently indicate.

 Orthogonal polynomials - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In mathematics, an orthogonal polynomial sequence is an infinite sequence of polynomials p
The field of orthogonal polynomials developed in the late 19th century from a study of continued fractions by Stieltjes.
The Jacobi-like polynomials, once they have had their domain shifted and scaled so that the interval of orthogonality is [−1, 1], still have two parameters to be determined.

 Differential equations for generalized Laguerre and Jacobi polynomials
We call these polynomials the generalized Jacobi polynomials, but sometimes they are also referred to as the Jacobi-type polynomials.
This inversion method was found in a similar way as was done in [2] in the case of generalizations of the Charlier polynomials.
In [13] it is shown that the Krall polynomials satisfy a sixth order differential equation of the form (1).

Wilson polynomials are closely related to classical orthogonal polynomials, since they are eigenfunctions of a second-order difference operator:
Askey–Wilson polynomials are also orthogonal polynomial eigenfunctions of a second-order difference operator and they are believed to be the most general orthogonal polynomials with this property, in the sense that all other classes with this property can be obtained from them by specialization of parameters or as limit cases.
The complete set of limit cases of Wilson and Racah polynomials is often written as a directed graph which is known as the Askey tableau, see the Appendix to [a2] as well as the references given there.

 Legendre Polynomials
The differential equation allows us to apply the polynomials to problems arising in mathematics and physics, among which is the important problem of the solution of Laplace's equation and spherical harmonics.
The polynomials can also be found by solving the differential equation by determining the coefficients of a power series substituted in the equation.
When differentiated n times, it becomes a polynomial of order n consisting of either all odd or all even powers of x, as n is odd or even.

[specfun package] return the Jacobi polynomial for integers n > -1 and a and b symbolic or a > -1 and b > -1.
(The Jacobi polynomials are actually defined for all a and b ; however, the Jacobi polynomial weight (1-x)^a(1+x)^b isn't integrable for a <= -1 or b <= -1.
Many functions in specfun are computed as a special case of the Jacobi polynomials; they also enjoy the speed boost from the modedeclared version of jacobi.

 Generalizations of the umbral calculus
The umbral calculus of [107] is restricted to the class of Sheffer polynomials.
Viskov first extended the umbral calculus to so-called generalized Appell polynomials (or Boas-Buck polynomials) [129] and then went on to generalize this to arbitrary polynomials [130].
The extension to generalized Appell polynomials makes it possible to apply umbral calculus to q-analysis [1,18,17,42,43,51,94] or important classes of orthogonal polynomials like the Jacobi polynomials [101].

Abstract of: Convergent asymptotic expansions of Charlier, Laguerre and Jacobi polynomials
The expansions are given in terms of functions that are special cases of the given polynomials.
The method is based on expanding integrals in one or two points of the complex plane, these points being saddle points of the phase functions of the integrands.

 Graphical Discovery of a New Identity for Jacobi Polynomials -- from Mathematica Information Center
During the summer of 1995 the authors engaged in an undergraduate research program that investigated various conjectures about orthogonal polynomials.
While exploring the grahic capabilities of Mathematica, we generated Figure 1, which shows, on a single set of axes, the fifth-degree Jacobi polynomials, for beta = 0.9 and alpha taking the values 0, 1, 2,..., 6.
We observed that the curves in the figure appear to intersect at extrema, but our advisors were skeptical about whether this actually happened.

 On connections between Hankel, Laguerre and Jacobi transplantations, Krzysztof Stempak
Proved are two results showing connections between the Hankel transplantation and a transplantation for a certain kind of Laguerre and Jacobi expansions.
An asymptotic formula of Hilb's type for Laguerre and Jacobi polynomials is used.
This is done by transferring a corresponding transplantation result for Jacobi expansions which was proved by Muckenhoupt.

 Zernike Polynoimials
Zernike polynomials are often used since they are made up of terms that are of the same form as the types of aberrations often observed in optical tests.
The radial polynomials are combined with sines and cosines rather than with a complex exponential.
A useful feature of Zernike polynomials is that each term of the Zernikes minimizes the rms wavefront error to the order of that term.

 Representation of Jacobi polynomials   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
A possible generalization to the case of Gegenbauer (ultraspherical) polynomials, i.e.
Jacobi polynomials P_n^{(a,b)}(x) with a=b, has the form (1) (sin x)^{(2a)} P_n^{(a,a)}(cos x)=sum_{k=0}^infinity c_k sin((n+2k+1)x).
The explicit values of c_k can be found by combining the following formulas in Abramowitz and Stegun: 8.7.1 (trigonometric expansion of Legendre function), 22.5.60 (ultraspherical polynomial expressed as Legendre function), 22.5.20 (Jacobi polynomial expressed as ultraspherical polynomial).

 Affine Hecke Algebras and Orthogonal Polynomials - Cambridge University Press
In recent years there has developed a satisfactory and coherent theory of orthogonal polynomials in several variables, attached to root systems, and depending on two or more parameters.
These polynomials include as special cases: symmetric functions; zonal spherical functions on real and p-adic reductive Lie groups; the Jacobi polynomials of Heckman and Opdam; and the Askey-Wilson polynomials, which themselves include as special or limiting cases all the classical families of orthogonal polynomials in one variable.
This first comprehensive and organised account of the subject aims to provide a unified foundation for this theory, to which the author has been a principal contributor.
