The answers to many important questions in the harmonic analysis of orthogonal polynomials are known to depend on the determination of when formulas of the typesand their dualshold, where pn(x) and qn(x) are suitably normalized orthogonal polynomials or orthogonal polynomials multiplied by certain functions; e.g. e−pxLn(x).

Let [3, p. 170, (16)](1.1)denote the Jacobi polynomial of order (α, β), α, β > – 1, and let g(k, m, n; α, β) be denned by(1.2)where Rn(α, β)(x) = Pn(α, β)(x)/Pn(α, β)(1). It is well known [1; 2; 4; 5; 6] that the harmonic analysis of Jacobi polynomials depends, at crucial points, on the answers to the following two questions.Question 1. For which (α, β) do we have(1.3)Question 2. For which (α, β) do we have(1.4)where G depends only on (α, β)?

The measure (x1x2x3)2adm(x) on the unit sphere in R3 is invariant under sign-changes and permutations of the coordinates; here dm denotes the rotation-invariant surface measure. The more general measurecorresponds to the measureon the triangle(where ). Appell ([1] Chap. VI) constructed a basis of polynomials of degree n in v1, v2 orthogonal to all polynomials of lower degree, and a biorthogonal set for the case γ = 0. Later Fackerell and Littler [6] found a biorthogonal set for Appell's polynomials for γ ≠ 0. Meanwhile Pronol [10] had constructed an orthogonal basis in terms of Jacobi polynomials.

The Jacobi polynomials may be defined bywhere (a)n = a (a + 1) … (a + n — 1). Putting β = α gives the ultraspherical polynomials which have as a special case the Legendre polynomials .

The problem of linearizing products of orthogonal polynomials, in general, and of ultraspherical and Jacobi polynomials, in particular, has been studied by several authors in recent years [1, 2, 9, 10, 13-16]. Standard defining relation [7, 18] for the Jacobi polynomials is given in terms of an ordinary hypergeometric function:with Re α > –1, Re β > –1, –1 ≦ x ≦ 1. However, for linearization problems the polynomials Rn(α,β)(x), normalized to unity at x = 1, are more convenient to use:(1.1)Roughly speaking, the linearization problem consists of finding the coefficients g(k, m, n; α,β) in the expansion(1.2)

Let be the Jacobi polynomial as defined by Szegö in (7) (see equation (4) below.) Carlitz in (2) presented among others the following formulaAlthough, as Carlitz claims, this formula may be derived directly from the definition of Jacobi polynomials, a probabilistic proof such as presented below may shed some new light on formula (1), as well as suggest probabilistic proofs for other similar formulas of Jacobi polynomials, e.g. those given by Manocha and Sharma in (4) and (5) and by Manocha in (3). In addition, it is quite possible that this method of proof will result in the derivation of some new formulas for Jacobi polynomials.

The main objective of this paper is to find useful q-extensions of Feldheim's [6] bilinear formula for Jacobi polynomials, namely,1.1where the Appel function F4 is defined by1.2α1, α2, ρ are arbitrary complex parameters such that the series on both sides of (1.1) are convergent, and1.3is the Jacobi polynomial of degree k, (a)k being the usual shifted factorial.

Abstract If μk,n (α,β) denotes the relative extrema of the Jacobi polynomial P(α,β) n(x), ordered so that μ k+1,n (α,β) lies to the left of μ k,n (α,β), then R. A. Askey has conjectured twenty years ago that for for k = 1,…, n — 1 and n = 1,2,=. In this paper, we give an asymptotic expansion for μ k,n (α,β) when k is fixed and n → ∞, which corrects an earlier result of R. Cooper (1950). Furthermore, we show that Askey's conjecture is true at least in the asymptotic sense.
