On Jacobi Polynomials Of Several Variables (Q4525549)

Let \(P_n^{\alpha,\beta}(x)\) be the Jacobi polynomials of a single variable [see \textit{E. D. Rainville}, Special functions (1971; Zbl 0231.33001)]. The Jacobi polynomials of two variables \[ \begin{multlined} P_n^{(\alpha_1,\beta_1;\alpha_2,\beta_2)}(x,y)= \frac{\Gamma(1+\alpha_1+n)\Gamma(1+\alpha_2+n)}{n!}\\ \sum_{j=0}^n\frac{(-1)^j (1+\alpha_2+\beta_2+n)_j}{j!\Gamma(1+\alpha_1+n-j)\Gamma(1+\alpha_2+j)} \left(\frac{1-y}2\right)^jP_{n-j}^{\alpha_1,\beta_1}(x), \end{multlined} \] three variables \(P_n^{(\alpha_1,\beta_1;\alpha_2,\beta_2;\alpha_3,\beta_3)} (x,y,z)\) (expressed by means of \(P_n^{(\alpha_1,\beta_1;\alpha_2,\beta_2)} (x,y))\) and \(m\)-variables (expressed by means of Jacobi polynomials of \(m-1\)-variables) are defined. Their integral representations, generating functions are obtained. As a particular case some special polynomials of \(m\)-variables (Gegenbauer polynomials, Chebyshev polynomials and Legendre polynomials) are defined.
