Differential equations for the elementary 3-symmetric Chebyshev polynomials (Q378703)

This is a part of the authors' study of the polynomials \(\psi_n(x)\) satisfying the three-term recurrence relation \(x\psi_n(x)=\psi_{n+1}(x)+a_n\psi_n(x)+\psi_{n-1}(x)\) with the periodic coefficient \(a_n=a_{n+3}\) and the initial conditions \(\psi_{-1}(x)\equiv0\), \(\psi_0(x)\equiv1\). The polynomials corresponding to the triplet \(\{a_0,a_1,a_2\}=\{i\sqrt3,-i\sqrt3,0\}\) are called by the authors the 3-symmetric Chebyshev polynomials. Here, the authors consider the polynomial families corresponding to the permutations of the above values in the triplet. Namely, the authors describe some spectral properties of the relevant three-diagonal Jacobi matrices and study the singularities of the second-order linear Fuchsian ordinary differential equations satisfied by the polynomials in each family. Unfortunately, many necessary details of the computations are published elsewhere and are not presented in the article.
