Brenke–Chihara Polynomials
In mathematics, Brenke polynomials are special cases of generalized Appell polynomials, and Brenke–Chihara polynomials are the Brenke polynomials that are also orthogonal polynomials. introduced sequences of Brenke polynomials ''P''''n'', which are special cases of generalized Appell polynomials with generating function of the form :A(w)B(xw)=\sum_^\infty P_n(x)w^n. Brenke observed that Hermite polynomials In mathematics, the Hermite polynomials are a classical orthogonal polynomial sequence. The polynomials arise in: * signal processing as Hermitian wavelets for wavelet transform analysis * probability, such as the Edgeworth series, as well a ... and Laguerre polynomials are examples of Brenke polynomials, and asked if there are any other sequences of orthogonal polynomials of this form. found some further examples of orthogonal Brenke polynomials. completely classified all Brenke polynomials that form orthogonal sequences, which are now called Brenke–Chihara pol ...

Generalized Appell Polynomials
In mathematics, a polynomial sequence \ has a generalized Appell representation if the generating function for the polynomials takes on a certain form: :K(z,w) = A(w)\Psi(zg(w)) = \sum_^\infty p_n(z) w^n where the generating function or kernel K(z,w) is composed of the series :A(w)= \sum_^\infty a_n w^n \quad with a_0 \ne 0 and :\Psi(t)= \sum_^\infty \Psi_n t^n \quad and all \Psi_n \ne 0 and :g(w)= \sum_^\infty g_n w^n \quad with g_1 \ne 0. Given the above, it is not hard to show that p_n(z) is a polynomial of degree n. Boas–Buck polynomials are a slightly more general class of polynomials. Special cases * The choice of g(w)=w gives the class of Brenke polynomials. * The choice of \Psi(t)=e^t results in the Sheffer sequence of polynomials, which include the general difference polynomials, such as the Newton polynomials. * The combined choice of g(w)=w and \Psi(t)=e^t gives the Appell sequence of polynomials. Explicit representation The generalized Appell polynomials ha ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Orthogonal Polynomials
In mathematics, an orthogonal polynomial sequence is a family of polynomials such that any two different polynomials in the sequence are orthogonality, orthogonal to each other under some inner product. The most widely used orthogonal polynomials are the classical orthogonal polynomials, consisting of the Hermite polynomials, the Laguerre polynomials and the Jacobi polynomials. The Gegenbauer polynomials form the most important class of Jacobi polynomials; they include the Chebyshev polynomials, and the Legendre polynomials as special cases. The field of orthogonal polynomials developed in the late 19th century from a study of continued fractions by Pafnuty Chebyshev, P. L. Chebyshev and was pursued by Andrey Markov, A. A. Markov and Thomas Joannes Stieltjes, T. J. Stieltjes. They appear in a wide variety of fields: numerical analysis (Gaussian quadrature, quadrature rules), probability theory, representation theory (of Lie group, Lie groups, quantum group, quantum groups, and re ...

Hermite Polynomials
In mathematics, the Hermite polynomials are a classical orthogonal polynomial sequence. The polynomials arise in: * signal processing as Hermitian wavelets for wavelet transform analysis * probability, such as the Edgeworth series, as well as in connection with Brownian motion; * combinatorics, as an example of an Appell sequence, obeying the umbral calculus; * numerical analysis as Gaussian quadrature; * physics, where they give rise to the eigenstates of the quantum harmonic oscillator; and they also occur in some cases of the heat equation (when the term \beginxu_\end is present); * systems theory in connection with nonlinear operations on Gaussian noise. * random matrix theory in Gaussian ensembles. Hermite polynomials were defined by Pierre-Simon Laplace in 1810, though in scarcely recognizable form, and studied in detail by Pafnuty Chebyshev in 1859. Chebyshev's work was overlooked, and they were named later after Charles Hermite, who wrote on the polynomials in 1864, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Laguerre Polynomials
In mathematics, the Laguerre polynomials, named after Edmond Laguerre (1834–1886), are solutions of Laguerre's equation: xy'' + (1 - x)y' + ny = 0 which is a second-order linear differential equation. This equation has nonsingular solutions only if is a non-negative integer. Sometimes the name Laguerre polynomials is used for solutions of xy'' + (\alpha + 1 - x)y' + ny = 0~. where is still a non-negative integer. Then they are also named generalized Laguerre polynomials, as will be done here (alternatively associated Laguerre polynomials or, rarely, Sonine polynomials, after their inventor Nikolay Yakovlevich Sonin). More generally, a Laguerre function is a solution when is not necessarily a non-negative integer. The Laguerre polynomials are also used for Gaussian quadrature to numerically compute integrals of the form \int_0^\infty f(x) e^ \, dx. These polynomials, usually denoted , , …, are a polynomial sequence which may be defined by the Rodrigues formula, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
American Mathematical Monthly
''The American Mathematical Monthly'' is a mathematical journal founded by Benjamin Finkel in 1894. It is published ten times each year by Taylor & Francis for the Mathematical Association of America. The ''American Mathematical Monthly'' is an expository journal intended for a wide audience of mathematicians, from undergraduate students to research professionals. Articles are chosen on the basis of their broad interest and reviewed and edited for quality of exposition as well as content. In this the ''American Mathematical Monthly'' fulfills a different role from that of typical mathematical research journals. The ''American Mathematical Monthly'' is the most widely read mathematics journal in the world according to records on JSTOR. Tables of contents with article abstracts from 1997–2010 are availablonline The MAA gives the Lester R. Ford Awards annually to "authors of articles of expository excellence" published in the ''American Mathematical Monthly''. Editors *2022– ...
