On the moments of the density of zeros for the relativistic Jacobi polynomials (Q2785366)

This paper addresses to the concept of relativistic orthogonal polynomials, i.e., polynomial solutions of NEWLINE\[NEWLINE \sigma(x)y''_n+\tau(x;n)y'_n+\lambda_n y=0 \leqno(1) NEWLINE\]NEWLINE where \(\sigma\) and \(\tau\) are polynomials of degree not greater than 2 and 1, respectively, and \(\lambda_n=-n\tau'-n(n-1)\sigma''/2\) a constant depending on \(n\). NEWLINENEWLINENEWLINEThis differential equation is a generalization of the classical \(2\)nd order ordinary differential equation of hypergeometric type: \textit{there} \(\tau\) does not depend on \(n\). NEWLINENEWLINENEWLINEAfter stating some properties of the solutions of \((1)\) for the relativistic Jacobi polynomials, already proved in a paper by \textit{M. X. He} and \textit{P. Natalini} (The Relativistic Jacobi Polynomials, submitted, reference number [8]), the authors give \(8\) pages with numerical values concerning the moments \(\sum_{\ell=1}^n(x_{\ell})^r\), with \(1\leq \ell\leq 8\), where \(x_1,\ldots, x_n\) are the zeros of the \(n\)th degree orthogonal polynomial. Several values of \(n\) (degree) and \(N\) (relativistic parameter, for \(N\rightarrow \infty\) the ordinary Jacobi polynomials are recovered) are treated.
