The nonexistence of cubic Legendre multiplier sequences

Tamás Forgács, James Haley, Rebecca Menke and Carlee Simon

Vol. 7 (2014), No. 6, 773–786
Abstract

Our main result is the proof of the recently conjectured nonexistence of cubic Legendre multiplier sequences. We also give an alternative proof of the nonexistence of linear Legendre multiplier sequences using a method that will allow for a more methodical treatment of sequences interpolated by higher degree polynomials.

Keywords
Legendre multiplier sequences, reality preserving linear operators, symbol of a linear operator, coefficients of Legendre-diagonal differential operators
