چکیده

In his 1984 proof of the Bieberbach and Milin conjectures de Branges used a positivity result of special functions which follows from an identity about Jacobi polynomial sums that was found by Askey and Gasper in 1973, published in 1976. In 1991 Weinstein presented another proof of the Bieberbach and Milin conjectures, also using a special function system which (by Todorov and Wilf) was realized to be the same as de Branges’. In this article, we show how a variant of the Askey-Gasper identity can be deduced by a straightforward examination of Weinstein’s functions which intimately are related with a Löwner chain of the Koebe function, and therefore with univalent functions.

Bieberbach’s conjecture, the de Branges and Weinstein functions and the Askey-Gasper inequality

The Bieberbach conjecture about the coefficients of univalent functions of the unit disk was formulated by Ludwig Bieberbach in 1916 [4]. The conjecture states that the coefficients of univalent functions are majorized by those of the Koebe function which maps the unit disk onto a radially slit plane. The Bieberbach conjecture was quite a difficult problem, and it was surprisingly proved by Lou...

Bispectral Commuting Difference Operators for Multivariable Askey-wilson Polynomials

We construct a commutative algebra Az , generated by d algebraically independent q-difference operators acting on variables z1, z2, . . . , zd, which is diagonalized by the multivariable Askey-Wilson polynomials Pn(z) considered by Gasper and Rahman [6]. Iterating Sears’ 4φ3 transformation formula, we show that the polynomials Pn(z) possess a certain duality between z and n. Analytic continuati...
