Zeros of the hypergeometric polynomials \(F(-n,b;2b;z)\) (Q5935884): Difference between revisions

The authors obtain some interesting results about the zeros of the hypergeometric polynomials \(F[-n,b; 2b;z]\). Among them are the following. For \(b>-1/2\) all zeros of the polynomial lie on the circle \(|z-1|=1\). For \(b>0\) all of the zeros satisfy the inequality \(|\text{Re}\{z\} |> 2b^2/(n+b)^2\). The results are applied to Jacobi polynomials and to Legendre functions.
