New families of orthogonal polynomials

Some new families of definite polynomials and the composition conjectures

The planar polynomial vector fields with a center at the origin can be written as an scalar differential equation, for example Abel equation. If the coefficients of an Abel equation satisfy the composition condition, then the Abel equation has a center at the origin. Also the composition condition is sufficient for vanishing the first order moments of the coefficients. The composition conjectur...

Gibbs Sampling, Exponential Families and Orthogonal Polynomials

We give families of examples where sharp rates of convergence to stationarity of the widely used Gibbs sampler are available. The examples involve standard exponential families and their conjugate priors. In each case, the transition operator is explicitly diagonalizable with classical orthogonal polynomials as eigenfunctions.

On the Complex Zeros of Some Families of Orthogonal Polynomials

and Applied Analysis 3 real and there is a need to locate their position. Moreover, the usual methods M1 – M3 mentioned before for the study of the zeros of Pn x may not apply at all, when Pn x are complex, or they may need serious modifications. Instead, the M4 method can be used directly. Such a functional analytic methodwas introduced in 10 andwas successfully used in a series of papers by t...

Identities for Families of Orthogonal Polynomials and Special Functions

In this article we present new results for families of orthogonal polynomials and special functions, that are determined by algorithmical approaches. In the first section, we present new results, especially for discrete families of orthogonal polynomials, obtained by an application of the celebrated Zeilberger algorithm. Next, we present algorithms for holonomic families f(n, x) of special func...
