Expansions in terms of generalized telegraph polynomials and complementry function

From MaRDI portal





The author considers the generalized telegraph equation \(u_{xx}+2vx^{-1} u_x-\varepsilon^2 u_{tt} =hu_t\), \(v,\varepsilon\), and \(h\) being positive constants. He develops the generalized telegraph polynomials \[ P_{n, \nu} (x,t;e,h)= \sum^n_{k=0} x^{2(n-k)} 2^{2k}{n\Gamma (n+ \nu+ {1\over 2})\over k!(n-k)! \Gamma(n+\nu+ {1\over 2}-k)} \sum^{k-1}_{m=0} {(k+m-1)!(-1)^m \varepsilon^{2m} t^{k-m}\over m!(k-m-1)! h^{k+m}} \] and their complementary functions as particular solutions, and establishes their relation to the generalized heat polynomials as well as to the radial wave polynomials. Using asymptotic estimates, the author is able to determine sufficient conditions for the convergence of series in terms of these polynomials and of their complementary functions. He then establishes that with certain initial values, problems can be solved in various series of these functions.
