Chain sequences and compact perturbations of orthogonal polynomials.
In this contribution we deal with classical Jacobi polynomials orthogonal with respect to different weight functions, their special cases - classical Legendre polynomials and generalized brothers of them. We derive expressions of generalized Legendre polynomials and generalized ultraspherical polynomials by means of classical Jacobi polynomials.
Starting from the Rodrigues representation of polynomial solutions of the general hypergeometric-type differential equation complementary polynomials are constructed using a natural method. Among the key results is a generating function in closed form leading to short and transparent derivations of recursion relations and addition theorem. The complementary polynomials satisfy a hypergeometric-type differential equation themselves, have a three-term recursion among others and obey Rodrigues formulas....
The following result is proved: to give two consecutive polynomials , of an orthonormal system is equivalent to assign the first moments of the Lebesgue-Stieltjes measure associated with the system.
