Convexity of the zeros of some orthogonal polynomials and related functions

چکیده
We study convexity properties of the zeros of some special functions that follow from the convexity theorem of Sturm. We prove results on the intervals of convexity for the zeros of Laguerre, Jacobi and ultraspherical polynomials, as well as functions related to them, using transformations under which the zeros remain unchanged. We give upper as well as lower bounds for the distance between consecutive zeros in several cases. AMS MOS Classification: 33C45, 34C10, 42C05

Convexity Properties of Special Functions
Convexity properties are often useful in characterizing and nding bounds for special function and their zeros, as well as in questions concerning the existence and uniqueness of zeros in certain intervals. In this survey paper, we describe some work related to the gamma function, the q-gamma function, Bessel and cylinder functions and the Hermite function.

متن کاملBuckling and vibration analysis of angle -ply symmetric laminated composite plates with fully elastic boundaries
The main focus of this paper is on efficiency analysis of two kinds of approximating functions (characteristic orthogonal polynomials and characteristic beam functions) that have been applied in the Rayleigh-Ritz method to determine the non-dimensional buckling and frequency parameters of an angle ply symmetric laminated composite plate with fully elastic boundaries. It has been observed that o...
متن کاملConvexity of the Extreme Zeros of Classical Orthogonal Polynomials
Let Cλ n(x), n = 0, 1, . . . , λ > −1/2, be the ultraspherical (Gegenbauer) polynomials, orthogonal in (−1, 1) with respect to the weight function (1−x2)λ−1/2. Denote by xnk(λ), k = 1, . . . , n, the zeros of Cλ n(x) enumerated in decreasing order. In this short note we prove that, for any n ∈ IN , the product (λ+1)xn1(λ) is a convex function of λ if λ ≥ 0. The result is applied to obtain some ...
