Complexity analysis of hypergeometric orthogonal polynomials

The complexity measures of the Crámer-Rao, Fisher-Shannon and LMC (López-Ruiz, Mancini and Calvet) types of the Rakhmanov probability density ρn(x) = ω(x)p 2 n(x) of the polynomials pn(x) orthogonal with respect to the weight function ω(x), x ∈ (a, b), are used to quantify various two-fold facets of the spreading of the Hermite, Laguerre and Jacobi systems all over their corresponding orthogonality intervals in both analytical and computational ways. Their explicit (Crámer-Rao) and asymptotical (Fisher-Shannon, LMC) values are given for the three systems of orthogonal polynomials. Then, these complexity-type mathematical quantities are numerically examined in terms of the polynomial’s degree n and the parameters which characterize the weight function. Finally, several open problems about the generalised hypergeometric functions of Lauricella and Srivastava-Daoust types, as well as on the asymptotics of weighted Lq-norms of Laguerre and Jacobi polynomials are pointed out.
