On the relation between Gegenbauer polynomials and the Ferrers function of the first kind (Q2166134): Difference between revisions

The authors use relations among the Gegenbauer, Jacobi, and Meixner polynomials to find properties and statements for the Ferrers function of the first and second kind that have been unknown so far. The paper includes statements about orthogonality on \([-1,1]\), some definite integral evaluations, Christoffel-Darboux formulas, expression for the Poisson kernel, and the so-called closure relations. (Closure relations are infinite series representations of the Dirac delta distribution.)
