Biorthogonal polynomials suggested by the Jacobi polynomials

H. C. Madhekar and N. K. Thakare

Vol. 100 (1982), No. 2, 417–424
Abstract

In this paper we introduce and study a pair of biorthogonal polynomials that are suggested by the classical Jacobi polynomials. Let α > 1, β > 1 and Jn(α,β,k;x) and Kn(α,β,k;x), n = 0,1,2, be respectively the polynomials of degree n in xk and x, where x is real, k is a positive integer such that these two polynomial sets satisfy biorthogonality conditions with respect to the weight function (1 x)α(1 + x)β, namely

11(1 x)α(1 + x)βJ n(α,β,k;x)xi dx is
{
0 for i = 0,1,⋅⋅⋅ ,n− 1;
not 0 for i = n; (1)
and
11(1 x)α(1 + x)βK n(α,β,k;x)(1 x)ki dx is
{
0 for i = 0,1,⋅⋅⋅ ,n − 1;
not 0 for i = n. (2)
It follows from (1) and (2) that
11(1 x)α(1 + x)βJ n(α,β,k;x)Km(α,β,k;x)dx is
{
0 for m,n = 0,1,⋅⋅⋅ ;m ⁄= n;
not 0 for m = n; (3)
and conversely.

For k = 1 both these sets are reduced to the Jacobi polynomial sets. We obtain generating functions, recurrence relations for both these sets and explicitly show that they satisfy biorthogonality conditions.
