It is often the case that the exact moments of a statistic of the continuous type can be explicitly determined, while its density function either does not lend itself to numerical evaluation or proves to be mathematically intractable. The density approximants discussed in this article are based on the first n exact moments of the corresponding distributions. A unified semiparametric approach to...

Jacobi polynomials are polynomials whose zeros form the unique solution of the Bethe Ansatz equation associated with two sl2 irreducible modules. We study sequences of r polynomials whose zeros form the unique solution of the Bethe Ansatz equation associated with two highest weight slr+1 irreducible modules, with the restriction that the highest weight of one of the modules is a multiple of the...

A short introduction to the use of the spectral theorem for self-adjoint operators in the theory of special functions is given. As the first example, the spectral theorem is applied to Jacobi operators, i.e. tridiagonal operators, on l(Z≥0), leading to a proof of Favard’s theorem stating that polynomials satisfying a three-term recurrence relation are orthogonal polynomials. We discuss the link...

Let L be a quasi-definite linear functional defined on the linear space of polynomials with real coefficients. In the literature, three canonical transformations of this functional are studied: xL, L + Cδ(x) and x L + Cδ(x) where δ(x) denotes the linear functional (δ(x))(xk) = δk,0, and δk,0 is the Kronecker symbol. Let us consider the sequence of monic polynomials orthogonal with respect to L....

The aim of this paper is to construct sup-exponentially localized kernels and frames in the context of classical orthogonal expansions, namely, expansions in Jacobi polynomials, spherical harmonics, orthogonal polynomials on the ball and simplex, and Hermite and Laguerre functions.

The Fisher information of the classical orthogonal polynomials with respect to a parameter is introduced, its interest justified and its explicit expression for the Jacobi, Laguerre, Gegenbauer and Grosjean polynomials found.

and Applied Analysis 3 nonlinear term is treated with the Chebyshev collocation method. The time discretization is a classical Crank-Nicholson-leap-frog scheme. Yuan and Wu 43 extended the Legendre dual-Petrov-Galerkin method proposed by Shen 44 , further developed by Yuan et al. 45 to general fifth-order KdV-type equations with various nonlinear terms. The main aim of this paper is to propose ...

Multimode/multicore fibers are expected to provide an attractive solution to overcome the capacity limit of current optical communication system. In presence of high crosstalk between modes/cores, the squared singular values of the input/output transfer matrix follow the law of the Jacobi ensemble of random matrices. Assuming that the channel state information is only available at the receiver,...

The list of physically motivated urn models that can be solved in terms classical orthogonal polynomials is very small. It includes a model proposed by D. Bernoulli and further analyzed S. Laplace P. T. Ehrenfest eventually connected with the Krawtchouk Hahn polynomials. This connection was reversed recently case Jacobi where rather contrived, later simpler proposed. Here we consider an going J...

By using the three-term recurrence equation satisfied by a family of orthogonal polynomials, the Christoffel-Darboux-type bilinear generating function and their asymptotic expressions, we obtain quadrature formulas for integral transforms generated by the classical orthogonal polynomials. These integral transforms, related to the so-called Poisson integrals, correspond to a modified Fourier Tra...
