Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Orthogonal polynomials and special functions are two well-established streams of research in mathematical sciences. As is well-known, these subjects are considered classical, and there exist a large number of very interesting developments of them through the centuries, which are distinguished by an original approach and an in-depth study of the theoretical and/or applied problems considered.

Since orthogonal polynomials and special functions are often driven by applications, these subjects have provided numerous applications to various branches of mathematics, e.g., combinatorics, numerical analysis, representation theory, number theory, and applications to engineering, physics and astronomy, integrable systems, optics, quantum chemistry, computer science, etc.  In this way, the number of theoretical and applied problems solved using orthogonal polynomials and special functions is constantly growing.

The aim of this Special Issue is to present recent trends and applications linked to these subjects, mainly those addressed to engineering mathematics and related topics.

Given a sequence of orthogonal polynomials {Ln}n=0, orthogonal with respect to a positive Borel ν measure supported on R+, let {Qn}n=0 be the the sequence of orthogonal polynomials with respect to the modified measure r(x)dν(x), where r is certain rational function. This work is devoted to the proof of the relative asymptotic formula Qn(d)(z)Ln(d)(z)nk=1N1ak+iz+akAkj=1N2z+bjbj+iBj, on compact subsets of CR+, where ak and bj are the zeros and poles of r, and the Ak, Bj are their respective multiplicities.

In this paper, by using the Golden Calculus, we introduce the generalized Apostol-type Frobenius–Euler–Fibonacci polynomials and numbers; additionally, we obtain various fundamental identities and properties associated with these polynomials and numbers, such as summation theorems, difference equations, derivative properties, recurrence relations, and more. Subsequently, we present summation formulas, Stirling–Fibonacci numbers of the second kind, and relationships for these polynomials and numbers. Finally, we define the new family of the generalized Apostol-type Frobenius–Euler–Fibonacci matrix and obtain some factorizations of this newly established matrix. Using Mathematica, the computational formulae and graphical representation for the mentioned polynomials are obtained. Full article

In this paper, we consider a novel family of the mixed-type hypergeometric Bernoulli–Gegenbauer polynomials. This family represents a fascinating fusion between two distinct categories of special functions: hypergeometric Bernoulli polynomials and Gegenbauer polynomials. We focus our attention on some algebraic and differential properties of this class of polynomials, including its explicit expressions, derivative formulas, matrix representations, matrix-inversion formulas, and other relations connecting it with the hypergeometric Bernoulli polynomials. Furthermore, we show that unlike the hypergeometric Bernoulli polynomials and Gegenbauer polynomials, the mixed-type hypergeometric Bernoulli–Gegenbauer polynomials do not fulfill either Hanh or Appell conditions.

In this paper, we consider the orthogonal polynomials with respect to the weight w(x)=w(x;s):=xλeN[x+s(x3x)],xR+, where λ>0, N>0 and 0s1. By using the ladder operator approach, we obtain a pair of second-order nonlinear difference equations and a pair of differential–difference equations satisfied by the recurrence coefficients αn(s) and βn(s). We also establish the relation between the associated Hankel determinant and the recurrence coefficients. From Dyson’s Coulomb fluid approach, we prove that the recurrence coefficients converge and the limits are derived explicitly when q:=n/N is fixed as n. Full article

A comprehensive framework has been developed to apply the monomiality principle from mathematical physics to various mathematical concepts from special functions. This paper presents research on a novel family of multivariate Hermite polynomials associated with Apostol-type Frobenius–Euler polynomials. The study derives the generating expression, operational rule, differential equation, and other defining characteristics for these polynomials. Additionally, the monomiality principle for these polynomials is verified. Moreover, the research establishes series representations, summation formulae, and operational and symmetric identities, as well as recurrence relations satisfied by these polynomials. Full article

We study the sequence of monic polynomials {Sn}n0, orthogonal with respect to the Jacobi-Sobolev inner product f,gs=11f(x)g(x)dμα,β(x)+j=1Nk=0djλj,kf(k)(cj)g(k)(cj), where N,djZ+, λj,k0, dμα,β(x)=(1x)α(1+x)βdx, α,β>1, and cjR(1,1). A connection formula that relates the Sobolev polynomials Sn with the Jacobi polynomials is provided, as well as the ladder differential operators for the sequence {Sn}n0 and a second-order differential equation with a polynomial coefficient that they satisfied. We give sufficient conditions under which the zeros of a wide class of Jacobi-Sobolev polynomials can be interpreted as the solution of an electrostatic equilibrium problem of n unit charges moving in the presence of a logarithmic potential. Several examples are presented to illustrate this interpretation. Full article

We study the sequence of polynomials {Sn}n0 that are orthogonal with respect to the general discrete Sobolev-type inner product f,gs=f(x)g(x)dμ(x)+j=1Nk=0djλj,kf(k)(cj)g(k)(cj), where μ is a finite Borel measure whose support suppμ is an infinite set of the real line, λj,k0, and the mass points ci, i=1,,N are real values outside the interior of the convex hull of suppμ (ciR\Ch(supp(μ))). Under some restriction of order in the discrete part of ·,·s, we prove that Sn has at least nd* zeros on Ch(suppμ), being d* the number of terms in the discrete part of ·,·s. Finally, we obtain the outer relative asymptotic for {Sn} in the case that the measure μ is the classical Laguerre measure, and for each mass point, only one order derivative appears in the discrete part of ·,·s.

In this paper, we introduce the notion of the Cauchy exponential of a linear functional on the linear space of polynomials in one variable with real or complex coefficients using a functional equation by using the so-called moment equation. It seems that this notion hides several properties and results. Our purpose is to explore some of these properties and to compute the Cauchy exponential of some special linear functionals. Finally, a new characterization of the positive-definiteness of a linear functional is given. Full article

Functional inequalities involving special functions are very useful in mathematical analysis, and several interesting results have been obtained in this topic. Several methods have been used by many authors in order to derive upper or lower bounds of certain special functions. In this paper, we establish some general integral inequalities involving strictly monotone functions. Next, some special cases are discussed. In particular, several estimates of trigonometric and hyperbolic functions are deduced. For instance, we show that Mitrinović-Adamović inequality, Lazarevic inequality, and Cusa-Huygens inequality are special cases of our obtained results. Moreover, an application to integral equations is provided. Full article

In this paper, we aim to construct inequalities of the Redheffer type for certain functions defined by the infinite product involving the zeroes of these functions. The key tools used in our proofs are classical results on the monotonicity of the ratio of differentiable functions. The results are proved using the nth positive zero, denoted by bn(ν). Special cases lead to several examples involving special functions, namely, Bessel, Struve, and Hurwitz functions, as well as several other trigonometric functions. Full article
