Some properties of the Sobolev-Laguerre polynomials (Q1298583)

The general Sobolev-Leguerre polynomials are orthogonal w.r.t. the inner product \[ (f,g)=\int^\infty_0 x^\alpha e^{-x}f(x)g (x)dx+ \lambda\int^\infty_0 x^\alpha e^{-x} f'(x)g'(x)dx,\;\lambda\geq 0; \tag{*} \] the authors study the case \(\alpha=0\) and use the notation \(L^\lambda_n(x)\), which is essentially the inverse Laplace transform of \(({1\over p}) P_n({1\over p})\) where \(P_n(x)\) is an \((n+1) \times (n+1)\) determinant of degree \(n\) given by \[ P_n(n) =\left |\begin{matrix} 1 & 1 & 1 & \dots & 1\\ 1 & x+2 & x+3 & \dots & x_2\\ 1 & x+3 & 2x+6 & \dots & x\\ : & : & : & \dots & \cdot\\ : & : & : & \dots & :\\ 1 & \cdot & \cdot & \cdots & x^n \end{matrix} \right |. \] In the sequel they derive the generating relation and also obtain some expansion formulas.
