On block recursions, Askey's sieved Jacobi polynomials and two related systems

Bernarda Aldana, Jairo Charris, Oriol Mora-Valbuena (1998)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Two systems of sieved Jacobi polynomials introduced by R. Askey are considered. Their orthogonality measures are determined via the theory of blocks of recurrence relations, circumventing any resort to properties of the Askey-Wilson polynomials. The connection with polynomial mappings is examined. Some naturally related systems are also dealt with and a simple procedure to compute their orthogonality measures is devised which seems to be applicable in many other instances.

On calculation of zeta function of integral matrix

Jiří Janáček (2009)

Mathematica Bohemica

Values of the Epstein zeta function of a positive definite matrix and the knowledge of matrices with minimal values of the Epstein zeta function are important in various mathematical disciplines. Analytic expressions for the matrix theta functions of integral matrices can be used for evaluation of the Epstein zeta function of matrices. As an example, principal coefficients in asymptotic expansions of variance of the lattice point count in the random ball are calculated for some lattices.

On classifying Laguerre polynomials which have Galois group the alternating group

Pradipto Banerjee, Michael Filaseta, Carrie E. Finch, J. Russell Leidy (2013)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

We show that the discriminant of the generalized Laguerre polynomial L n ( α ) ( x ) is a non-zero square for some integer pair ( n , α ) , with n 1 , if and only if ( n , α ) belongs to one of 30 explicitly given infinite sets of pairs or to an additional finite set of pairs. As a consequence, we obtain new information on when the Galois group of L n ( α ) ( x ) over is the alternating group A n . For example, we establish that for all but finitely many positive integers n 2 ( mod 4 ) , the only α for which the Galois group of L n ( α ) ( x ) over is A n is α = n .
