We present a computer-assisted proof of positivity of sums over kernel polynomials for ultraspherical Jacobi polynomials.

The Jacobi-Stirling numbers and the Legendre-Stirling numbers of the first and second kind were first introduced by Everitt et al. (2002) and (2007) in the spectral theory. In this paper we note that Jacobi-Stirling numbers and Legendre-Stirling numbers are specializations of elementary and complete symmetric functions. We then study combinatorial interpretations of this specialization and obta...

Abstract. We introduce a spectral transform for the finite relativistice Toda lattice (RTL) in generalized form. In the nonrelativistic case, Moser constructed a spectral transform from the spectral theory of symmetric Jacobi matrices. Here we use a nonsymmetric generalized eigenvalue problem for a pair of bidiagonal matrices (L, M) to define the spectral transform for the RTL. The inverse spec...

We investigate the relationships between the Marcinkiewicz-Zygmund-type inequalities and certain shifted average operators. Applications to the mean boundedness of a quasi-interpolatory operator in the case of trigonometric polynomials, Jacobi polynomials, and Freud polynomials are presented.

Vector-valued L p-convergence of orthogonal series and Lagrange interpolation. Abstract We give necessary and sufficient conditions for interpolation inequalities of the type considered by Marcinkiewicz and Zygmund to be true in the case of Banach space-valued polynomials and Jacobi weights and nodes. We also study the vector-valued expansion problem of L p-functions in terms of Jacobi polynomi...

The equilibrium positions of the multi-particle classical Calogero-Sutherland-Moser (CSM) systems with rational/trigonometric potentials associated with the classical root systems are described by the classical orthogonal polynomials; the Hermite, Laguerre and Jacobi polynomials. The eigenfunctions of the corresponding single-particle quantum CSM systems are also expressed in terms of the same ...

We prove an addition formula for Jacobi functions r ~' ~) (~17_~-~ ) analogous to the known addition formula for Jacobi polynomials. We exploit the positivity of the coefficients in the addition formula by giving the following application. We prove that the product of two Jacobi functions of the same argument has a nonnegative Fourier-Jacobi transform. This implies that the convolution structur...
