Linearization coefficients of Bessel polynomials and properties of Student-t distributions

چکیده
We prove positivity results about linearization and connection coefficients for Bessel polynomials. The proof is based on a recursion formula and explicit formulas for the coefficients in special cases. The result implies that the distribution of a convex combination of independent Studentt random variables with arbitrary odd degrees of freedom has a density which is a convex combination of certain Student-t densities with odd degrees of freedom. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: primary 33C10; secondary 60E05

متن کاملOrthogonalizing Weights of Tchebychev Sets of Polynomials
We characterize distributions with respect to which the members of a Tchebychev set of polynomials are orthogonal when they satisfy differential equations with polynomial coefficients. As an application, we find a real weight of bounded variation with support in [0, oo) for Bessel polynomials.
متن کاملSome Results on the Field of Values of Matrix Polynomials
In this paper, the notions of pseudofield of values and joint pseudofield of values of matrix polynomials are introduced and some of their algebraic and geometrical properties are studied. Moreover, the relationship between the pseudofield of values of a matrix polynomial and the pseudofield of values of its companion linearization is stated, and then some properties of the augmented field of ...
متن کاملA Family of Sequences of Binomial Type
For a delta operator aD − bD we find the corresponding polynomial sequence of binomial type and relations with Fuss numbers. In the case of D − 1 2D 2 we show that the corresponding Bessel–Carlitz polynomials are moments of the convolution semigroup of inverse Gaussian distributions. We also find probability distributions νt, t > 0, for which {yn(t)}, the Bessel polynomials at t, is the moment ...
متن کاملOn linearization and connection coefficients for generalized Hermite polynomials
We consider the problem of finding explicit formulae, recurrence relations and sign properties for both connection and linearization coefficients for generalized Hermite polynomials. The most computations are carried out by the computer algebra system Maple using appropriate algorithms.
