Sieved orthogonal polynomials

Last updated

In mathematics, sieved orthogonal polynomials are orthogonal polynomials whose recurrence relations are formed by sieving the recurrence relations of another family; in other words, some of the recurrence relations are replaced by simpler ones. The first examples were the sieved ultraspherical polynomials introduced by WaleedAl-Salam,W. R. Allaway,andRichard Askey ( 1984 ). Mourad Ismail later studied sieved orthogonal polynomials in a long series of papers. Other families of sieved orthogonal polynomials that have been studied include sieved Pollaczek polynomials, and sieved Jacobi polynomials.

Richard Allen Askey was an American mathematician, known for his expertise in the area of special functions. The Askey–Wilson polynomials are on the top level of the Askey scheme, which organizes orthogonal polynomials of hypergeometric type into a hierarchy. The Askey–Gasper inequality for Jacobi polynomials is essential in de Brange's famous proof of the Bieberbach conjecture.

In mathematics, the Askey scheme is a way of organizing orthogonal polynomials of hypergeometric or basic hypergeometric type into a hierarchy. For the classical orthogonal polynomials discussed in Andrews & Askey (1985), the Askey scheme was first drawn by Labelle (1985) and by Askey and Wilson (1985), and has since been extended by Koekoek & Swarttouw (1998) and Koekoek, Lesky & Swarttouw (2010) to cover basic orthogonal polynomials.

James Alexander Shohat was a Russian-American mathematician at the University of Pennsylvania who worked on the moment problem. He studied at the University of Petrograd and married the physicist Nadiascha W. Galli, the couple emigrating from Russia to the United States in 1923.

In mathematics, the Romanovski polynomials are one of three finite subsets of real orthogonal polynomials discovered by Vsevolod Romanovsky within the context of probability distribution functions in statistics. They form an orthogonal subset of a more general family of little-known Routh polynomials introduced by Edward John Routh in 1884. The term Romanovski polynomials was put forward by Raposo, with reference to the so-called 'pseudo-Jacobi polynomials in Lesky's classification scheme. It seems more consistent to refer to them as Romanovski–Routh polynomials, by analogy with the terms Romanovski–Bessel and Romanovski–Jacobi used by Lesky for two other sets of orthogonal polynomials.
