In this present work polynomial transformations are identified that preserve the property of the polynomials having all zeros lying on the imaginary axis. Existence results concerning families of polynomials whose generalised Mellin transforms have zeros all lying on the critical line ℜs = 1 2 are then derived. Inherent structures are identified from which a simple proof relating to the Gegenbauer family of orthogonal polynomials is subsequently deduced. Some discussion about the choice of generalised Mellin transform is also given.
We study higher-dimensional interlacing Fibonacci sequences, generated via both Chebyshev type functions and m-dimensional recurrence relations. For each integer m, there exist both rational and integer versions of these sequences, where the underlying prime congruence structures of the rational sequence denominators enables the integer sequence to be recovered.From either the rational or the integer sequences we construct sequences of vectors in Q m , which converge to irrational algebraic points in R m . The rational sequence terms can be expressed as simple recurrences, trigonometric sums, binomial polynomials, sums of squares, and as sums over ratios of powers of the signed diagonals of the regular unit n-gon. These sequences also exhibit a "rainbow type" quality, and correspond to the Fleck numbers at negative indices, leading to some combinatorial identities involving binomial coefficients.It is shown that the families of orthogonal generating polynomials defining the recurrence relations employed, are divisible by the minimal polynomials of certain algebraic numbers, and the three-term recurrences and differential equations for these polynomials are derived. Further results relating to the Christoffel-Darboux formula, Rodrigues' formula and raising and lowering operators are also discussed. Moreover, it is shown that the Mellin transforms of these polynomials satisfy a functional equation of the form p n (s) = ±p n (1 − s), and have zeros only on the critical line Re s = 1/2.
