Classical orthogonal polynomials in one variable can be characterized as the only orthogonal polynomials satisfying a Rodrigues formula. In this paper, using the second kind Kronecker power of a matrix, a Rodrigues formula is introduced for classical orthogonal polynomials in two variables.
Differential properties for orthogonal polynomials in several variables are studied. We consider multivariate orthogonal polynomials whose gradients satisfy some quasi-orthogonality conditions. We obtain several characterizations for these polynomials including the analogues of the semiclassical Pearson differential equation, the structure relation and a differential-difference equation.
In this paper, we consider bivariate orthogonal polynomials associated with a quasi-definite moment functional which satisfies a Pearson-type partial differential equation. For these polynomials differential properties are obtained. In particular, we deduce some structure and orthogonality relations for the successive partial derivatives of the polynomials.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
