Constructing Krall-Hahn orthogonal polynomials

Publication date 19 December 2014

Abstract: Given a sequence of polynomials

(p_{n})_{n}

, an algebra of operators

m a t h c a l A

acting in the linear space of polynomials and an operator

D_{p} i n m a t h c a l A

with

D_{p} (p_{n}) = h e t a_{n} p_{n}

, where

h e t a_{n}

is any arbitrary eigenvalue, we construct a new sequence of polynomials

(q_{n})_{n}

by considering a linear combination of

m + 1

consecutive

p_{n}

:

. Using the concept of

m a t h c a l D

-operator, we determine the structure of the sequences

in order that the polynomials

(q_{n})_{n}

are eigenfunctions of an operator in the algebra

m a t h c a l A

. As an application, from the classical discrete family of Hahn polynomials we construct orthogonal polynomials

(q_{n})_{n}

which are also eigenfunctions of higher-order difference operators.
