Clifford algebra-valued orthogonal polynomials in Euclidean space (Q2575619): Difference between revisions

The authors construct orthogonal polynomials with values in a complex Clifford algebra using weight functions with such values. They constructed such functions with scalar valued weight functions in an earlier series of papers, e.g. [Bull. Belg. Math. Soc.- Simon Stevin 11, No. 2, 201-215 (2004; Zbl 1077.42026)]. The weight functions are generated by continuation of real analytic functions into the complex Clifford algebra. Here the so-called Clifford-Heaviside functions \[ P^{\pm} = \frac{1}{2}\left(1 \pm i\frac{x}{| x| }\right) \] are used, \(i\) is the imaginary unit. For different real analytic functions they get generalized Clifford-Hermite, Clifford-Laguerre, and half range Clifford-Hermite polynomials.
