The energy eigenvalues of the superintegrable chiral Potts model are determined by the zeros of special polynomials which define finite representations of Onsager's algebra. The polynomials determining the low-sector eigenvalues have been given by Baxter in 1988. In the ℤ3-case they satisfy 4-term recursion relations and so cannot form orthogonal sequences. However, we show that they are closely related to Jacobi polynomials and satisfy a special "partial orthogonality" with respect to a Jacobi weight function.

Abstract This paper presents a general approach for the free vibration analysis of curvilinearly stiffened rectangular and quadrilateral plates using the Ritz method by employing classical orthogonal Jacobi polynomials. Both the plate and stiffeners are modeled using first-order shear deformation theory (FSDT). The displacement and rotations of the plate and stiffeners are approximated by separate sets of Jacobi polynomials. The ease of modification of the Jacobi polynomials enables the Jacobi weight function to satisfy geometric boundary conditions without loss of orthogonality. The distinctive advantage of Jacobi polynomials, over other polynomial-based trial functions, lies in that their use eliminates the well-known ill-conditioning issues when a high number of terms are used in the Ritz method, e.g., to obtain higher modes required for vibro-acoustic analysis. In this paper, numerous case studies are undertaken by considering various sets of boundary conditions. The results are verified both with the detailed finite element analysis (FEA) using commercial software msc.nastran and with those available in the open literature. New formulation and results include: (i) exact boundary condition enforcement through Jacobi weight function for FSDT, (ii) formulation of quadrilateral plates with curvilinear stiffeners, and (iii) use of higher order Gauss quadrature scheme for required integral evaluations to obtain higher modes. It is demonstrated that the presented method provides good numerical stability and highly accurate results. The given new numerical results and convergence studies may serve as benchmark solutions for validating the new computational techniques.

We construct Jacobi-weighted orthogonal polynomials𝒫n,r(α,β,γ)(u,v,w),α,β,γ>−1,α+β+γ=0, on the triangular domainT. We show that these polynomials𝒫n,r(α,β,γ)(u,v,w)over the triangular domainTsatisfy the following properties:𝒫n,r(α,β,γ)(u,v,w)∈ℒn,n≥1,r=0,1,…,n,and𝒫n,r(α,β,γ)(u,v,w)⊥𝒫n,s(α,β,γ)(u,v,w)forr≠s. And hence,𝒫n,r(α,β,γ)(u,v,w),n=0,1,2,…,r=0,1,…,nform an orthogonal system over the triangular domainTwith respect to the Jacobi weight function. These Jacobi-weighted orthogonal polynomials on triangular domains are given in Bernstein basis form and thus preserve many properties of the Bernstein polynomial basis.

In this work, the spread of hypergeometric orthogonal polynomials (HOPs) along their orthogonality interval is examined by means of the main entropy-like measures of their associated Rakhmanov’s probability density—so, far beyond the standard deviation and its generalizations, the ordinary moments. The Fisher information, the Rényi and Shannon entropies, and their corresponding spreading lengths are analytically expressed in terms of the degree and the parameter(s) of the orthogonality weight function. These entropic quantities are closely related to the gradient functional (Fisher) and the Lq-norms (Rényi, Shannon) of the polynomials. In addition, the degree asymptotics for these entropy-like functionals of the three canonical families of HPOs (i.e., Hermite, Laguerre, and Jacobi polynomials) are given and briefly discussed. Finally, a number of open related issues are identified whose solutions are both physico-mathematically and computationally relevant.

We give examples of problem areas in interpolation, approximation, and quadrature, that call for orthogonal polynomials not of the classical kind. We then discuss numerical methods of computing the respective Gauss-type quadrature rules and orthogonal polynomials. The basic task is to compute the coefficients in the three-term recurrence relation for the orthogonal polynomials. This can be done by methods relying either on moment information or on discretization procedures. The effect on the recurrence coefficients of multiplying the weight function by a rational function is also discussed. Similar methods are applicable to computing Sobolev orthogonal polynomials, although their recurrence relations are more complicated. The paper concludes with a brief account of available software.

Abstract Orthogonal polynomials on quadratic curves in the plane are studied. These include orthogonal polynomials on ellipses, parabolas, hyperbolas and two lines. For an integral with respect to an appropriate weight function defined on any quadratic curve, an explicit basis of orthogonal polynomials is constructed in terms of two families of orthogonal polynomials in one variable. Convergence of the Fourier orthogonal expansions is also studied in each case. We discuss applications to the Fourier extension problem, interpolation of functions with singularities or near singularities and the solution of Schrödinger’s equation with nondifferentiable or nearly nondifferentiable potentials.

This work aims at introducing two new solvable 1D and 3D confined potentials and present their solutions using the Tridiagonal Representation Approach (TRA). The wave function is written as a series in terms of square integrable basis functions which are expressed in terms of Jacobi polynomials. The expansion coefficients are then written in terms of new orthogonal polynomials that were introduced recently by Alhaidari, the analytical properties of which are yet to be derived. Moreover, we have computed the numerical eigenenergies for both potentials by considering specific choices of the potential parameters.
