Four-term Recurrences, Orthogonal Polynomials and Riordan Arrays

چکیده
We study constant coefficient four term recurrences for polynomials, in analogy to the three-term recurrences that are associated with orthogonal polynomials. We show that for a family of polynomials obeying such a four-term recurrence, the coefficient array is an ordinary Riordan array of a special type, and vice versa. In certain cases, it is possible to transform these polynomials into related orthogonal polynomials. We characterize the form of the production matrices of the inverse coefficient arrays.

with u0 = 0, where the dot indicates differentiation with respect to t. In this note, we shall show how solutions to this equation can be formulated in the context of exponential Riordan arrays. The Riordan arrays we shall consider may be considered as parameterised (or “time”-dependent) Riordan arrays. We have already considered parameterized Riordan arrays [1], exploring the links between the...
متن کاملEulerian Polynomials as Moments, via Exponential Riordan Arrays
Using the theory of exponential Riordan arrays and orthogonal polynomials, we demonstrate that the Eulerian polynomials and the shifted Eulerian polynomials are moment sequences for a simple family of orthogonal polynomials. The coefficient arrays of these families of orthogonal polynomials are shown to be exponential Riordan arrays. Using the theory of orthogonal polynomials we are then able t...
متن کاملGeneral Eulerian Polynomials as Moments Using Exponential Riordan Arrays
Abstract Using the theory of exponential Riordan arrays and orthogonal polynomials, we demonstrate that the general Eulerian polynomials, as defined by Xiong, Tsao and Hall, are moment sequences for simple families of orthogonal polynomials, which we characterize in terms of their three-term recurrence. We obtain the generating functions of this polynomial sequence in terms of continued fractio...
متن کاملGeneralized Stirling numbers, exponential Riordan arrays and orthogonal polynomials
We define a generalization of the Stirling numbers of the second kind, which depends on two parameters. The matrices of integers that result are exponential Riordan arrays. We explore links to orthogonal polynomials by studying the production matrices of these Riordan arrays. Generalized Bell numbers are also defined, again depending on two parameters, and we determine the Hankel transform of t...
متن کاملOn the Connection Coefficients of the Chebyshev-Boubaker Polynomials
The Chebyshev-Boubaker polynomials are the orthogonal polynomials whose coefficient arrays are defined by ordinary Riordan arrays. Examples include the Chebyshev polynomials of the second kind and the Boubaker polynomials. We study the connection coefficients of this class of orthogonal polynomials, indicating how Riordan array techniques can lead to closed-form expressions for these connection...
