Polynomials whose coefficients are successive derivatives of a class of Jacobi polynomials evaluated at x = 1 are stable. This yields a novel and short proof of the known result that the Bessel polynomials are stable polynomials. Stability preserving linear operators are discussed. The paper concludes with three open problems involving the distribution of zeros of polynomials.

An explicit structure relation for Askey-Wilson polynomials is given. This involves a divided q-difference operator which is skew symmetric with respect to the Askey-Wilson inner product and which sends polynomials of degree n to polynomials of degree n+ 1. By specialization of parameters and by taking limits, similar structure relations, as well as lowering and raising relations, can be obtain...

We extend a collocation method for solving a nonlinear ordinary differential equation ODE via Jacobi polynomials. To date, researchers usually use Chebyshev or Legendre collocation method for solving problems in chemistry, physics, and so forth, see the works of Doha and Bhrawy 2006, Guo 2000, and Guo et al. 2002 . Choosing the optimal polynomial for solving every ODEs problem depends on many f...

In this paper, an application to the approximation by wavelets has been obtained by using matrix-Cesàro (Λ · C1) method of Jacobi polynomials. The rapid rate of convergence of matrix-Cesàro method of Jacobi polynomials are estimated. The result of Theorem (6.1) of this research paper is applicable for avoiding the Gibbs phenomenon in intermediate levels of wavelet approximations. There are majo...

We introduce two kinds of multiple little q-Jacobi polynomials p~n with multi-index ~n = (n1, n2, . . . , nr) and degree |~n| = n1 + n2 + · · · + nr by imposing orthogonality conditions with respect to r discrete little q-Jacobi measures on the exponential lattice {qk, k = 0, 1, 2, 3, . . .}, where 0 < q < 1. We show that these multiple little qJacobi polynomials have useful q-difference proper...

We study some properties of the Askey-Wilson polynomials (AWP) when q is a primitive Nth root of unity. For general four-parameter AWP, zeros of the Nth polynomial and the orthogonality measure are found explicitly. Special subclasses of the AWP, e.g., the continuous q-Jacobi and big q-Jacobi polynomials, are considered in detail. A set of discrete weight functions positive on a real interval i...

Abstract A joint algebraic interpretation of the biorthogonal Askey polynomials on unit circle and orthogonal Jacobi is offered. It ties their bispectral properties to an algebra called meta-Jacobi $m\mathfrak {J}$ .

Jacobi approximations in non-uniformly Jacobi-weighted Sobolev spaces are investigated. Some results on orthogonal projections and interpolations are established. Explicit expressions describing the dependence of approximation results on the parameters of Jacobi polynomials are given. These results serve as an important tool in the analysis of numerous quadratures and numerical methods for diff...

In this paper, operational matrices of Riemann-Liouville fractional integration and Caputo fractional differentiation for shifted Jacobi polynomials are considered. Using the given initial conditions, we transform the fractional differential equation (FDE) into a modified fractional differential equation with zero initial conditions. Next, all the existing functions in modified differential equ...

In this paper, a Jacobi-collocation spectral method is developed for Volterra integral equations of second kind with a weakly singular kernel. We use some function transformation and variable transformations to change the equation into a new Volterra integral equation defined on the standard interval [−1, 1], so that the solution of the new equation possesses better regularity and the Jacobi or...
