A class of orthogonal polynomials on the radial rays in the complex plane (Q1353548): Difference between revisions

Let \(\varepsilon_s= \exp(\pi is/m)\), \(s=0,\dots, 2m-1\), denote the \((2m)\)th roots of unity for some \(m\in\mathbb{N}\). The author studies orthogonal polynomials with respect to the inner product \[ (f,g)= \int_0^1 \Biggl( \sum_{s=0}^{2m-1} f(x\varepsilon_s) \overline{g(x\varepsilon_s)} \Biggr)w(x)dx, \] where \(w\) is a positive weight function. Based on a sufficient moment determinants condition, he investigates the existence and uniqueness. Moreover, a recurrence relation, a representation, and the connection with standard polynomials orthogonal on \((0,1)\) as well as results on the distribution of zeros are derived. Finally, an analogue of the Jacobi polynomials is studied, and also a corresponding problem for generalized Laguerre polynomials (with the inner product integral over \((0,\infty)\)).
