Some sums of Legendre and Jacobi polynomials

Jan Gustavsson (2001)

Mathematica Bohemica

We prove identities involving sums of Legendre and Jacobi polynomials. The identities are related to Green’s functions for powers of the invariant Laplacian and to the Minakshisundaram-Pleijel zeta function.

Special Classes of Orthogonal Polynomials and Corresponding Quadratures of Gaussian Type

Milovanovic, Gradimir V., Cvetkovic, Aleksandar S. (2012)

Mathematica Balkanica New Series

MSC 2010: 33C47, 42C05, 41A55, 65D30, 65D32In the first part of this survey paper we present a short account on some important properties of orthogonal polynomials on the real line, including computational methods for constructing coefficients in the fundamental three-term recurrence relation for orthogonal polynomials, and mention some basic facts on Gaussian quadrature rules. In the second part we discuss our Mathematica package Orthogonal Polynomials (see [2]) and show some applications to problems...

Special Functions and Pathways for Problems in Astrophysics: An Essay in Honor of A.M. Mathai

Haubold, Hans, Kumar, Dilip, Nair, Seema, Joseph, Dhannya (2010)

Fractional Calculus and Applied Analysis

The paper provides a review of A.M. Mathai's applications of the theory of special functions, particularly generalized hypergeometric functions, to problems in stellar physics and formation of structure in the Universe and to questions related to reaction, diffusion, and reaction-diffusion models. The essay also highlights Mathai's recent work on entropic, distributional, and differential pathways to basic concepts in statistical mechanics, making use of his earlier research results in information...

Special values of multiple gamma functions

William Duke, Özlem Imamoḡlu (2006)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

We give a Chowla-Selberg type formula that connects a generalization of the eta-function to GL ( n ) with multiple gamma functions. We also present some simple infinite product identities for certain special values of the multiple gamma function.
