Matrix valued Jacobi polynomials (Q1408442): Difference between revisions

The author finds a matrix valued weight for Jacobi orthogonal polynomials, which satisfy an explicit differential equation of Jabobi type. An application to spherical functions is discussed. The Bochner problem of finding all families of orthogonal polynomials that are eigenfunctions of some second order differential operator is considered. Explicit expressions of the matrix coefficients in the three term recursion relation for Jacobi polynomials are given.
