TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that there is a correspondence between quasi-exactly solvable models in quantum mechanics and sets of orthogonal polynomials, and that the vanishing norm of the norm of a polynomial whose index is greater than a critical value of the energy is the zero of the critical poynomial.
Abstract: This paper shows that there is a correspondence between quasi-exactly solvable models in quantum mechanics and sets of orthogonal polynomials $\{ P_n\}$. The quantum-mechanical wave function is the generating function for the $P_n (E)$, which are polynomials in the energy $E$. The condition of quasi-exact solvability is reflected in the vanishing of the norm of all polynomials whose index $n$ exceeds a critical value $J$. The zeros of the critical polynomial $P_J(E)$ are the quasi-exact energy eigenvalues of the system.

TL;DR: In this article, the Wall and Laguerre polynomials are shown to arise as matrix elements of q-exponentials of the generators in a representation of the q-oscillator algebra.
Abstract: Properties of certain q-orthogonal polynomials are connected to the q-oscillator algebra. The Wall and q-Laguerre polynomials are shown to arise as matrix elements of q-exponentials of the generators in a representation of this algebra. A realization is presented where the continuous q-Hermite polynomials form a basis of the representation space. Various identities are interpreted within this model. In particular, the connection formula between the continuous big q-Hermite and the continuous q-Hermite polynomials is thus obtained, and two generating functions for these last polynomials are derived algebraically.

TL;DR: In this article, the generalized discrete variable representation (GDVR) was proposed to restore the variational principle of the Fourier method of Kosloff and the DVR of Light by introducing more grid points than spectral basis functions.
Abstract: In developing a pseudospectral transform between a nondirect product basis of spherical harmonics and a direct product grid, Corey and Lemoine [J. Chem. Phys. 97, 4115 (1992)] generalized the Fourier method of Kosloff and the discrete variable representation (DVR) of Light by introducing more grid points than spectral basis functions. Assuming that the potential energy matrix is diagonal on the grid destroys the variational principle in the Fourier and DVR methods. In the present article we (1) demonstrate that the extra grid points in the generalized discrete variable representation (GDVR) act as dealiasing functions that restore the variational principle and make a pseudospectral calculation equivalent to a purely spectral one, (2) describe the general principles for extending the GDVR to other nondirect product spectral bases of orthogonal polynomials, and (3) establish the relation between the GDVR and the least squares method exploited in the pseudospectral electronic structure and adiabatic pseudospectral bound state calculations of Friesner and collaborators.

TL;DR: In this paper, rational transfer function models based on orthogonal Forsythe polynomials minimize the condition number of the Jacobian of estimators in a least-squares framework.
Abstract: It is shown that rational transfer function models based on orthogonal Forsythe polynomials minimize the condition number of the Jacobian of estimators in a least-squares framework. As a result, very high order linear time-invariant systems can be identified. The numerical stability of the estimation of the parameters and their derived quantities (zeros, poles, ...) are obtained. Statistical uncertainty bounds are provided. The method is illustrated on a 100th order simulated system and a 120th order measured beam-structure. >
TL;DR: In this paper, a Lie algebraic procedure of discretization of differential equations with isospectral property is proposed using sl2-algebra based approach, (quasi-exactly-solvable finite difference equations are described.
Abstract: A certain representation for the Heisenberg algebra in finite difference operators is established. The Lie algebraic procedure of discretization of differential equations with isospectral property is proposed. Using sl2-algebra based approach, (quasi)-exactly-solvable finite difference equations are described. It is shown that the operators having the Hahn, Charlier and Meissner polynomials as the eigenfunctions are reproduced in the present approach as some particular cases. A discrete version of the classical orthogonal polynomials (like Hermite, Laguerre, Legendre and Jacobi ones) is introduced.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used nonparametric identification techniques to process recorded data of nonlinear structural responses and to represent the constitutive relationship of the structure of hysteretic oscillators.
Abstract: Nonparametric identification techniques are used to process recorded data of nonlinear structural responses and to represent the constitutive relationship of the structure. When hysteretic systems are dealt with, attention must be given to the appropriate subspace of the state variables in which the restoring force can be approximated by a single-valued surface. Nonparametric models are investigated, defined by two different descriptions: the first, in which the restoring force is a function of displacement and velocity, is commonly used; and the second, in which the incremental force is a function of force and velocity is less adopted. The ability of the second variable space to better reproduce the behavior of hysteretic oscillators is shown by analyzing different cases. Meanwhile, approximation of the real restoring function in terms of orthogonal (Chebyshev) polynomials and nonorthogonal polynomials is investigated. Finally, a mixed parametric and nonparametric model that exhibits a very satisfactory behavior in the case of important hardening and viscous damping is presented.

Abstract: We are dealing with orthogonal sequences with respect to forms verifying a second degreee equation, i.e. that its formal Stieltjes functionS(u)(z) satisfies a quadratic equation of the formB(z)S
2(u)(z)+C(z)S(u)(z)+D(z)=0, whereB, C, D are polynomials. Various algebraic properties are given, especially those concerning the quasi-orthogonality of associated sequences. A classification is outlined. Some examples are quoted. In particular, we give the representation of Tchebychev co-recursive forms for any complex value of the parameter.

Abstract: are all irreducible over the rationals and obtained several results concerning their irreducibility. The statement of this conjecture and his results are described in his book Bessel Polynomials [7]. The author in [4] established that almost all Bessel Polynomials are irreducible. More precisely, if k(t) denotes the number of n<.t for which y,~(x) is reducible, then k(t)=o(t). He later [5] observed that the argument could be strengthened to obtain k(t)<

Abstract: Difference calculus compatible with polynomials (i.e., such that the divided difference operator of first order applied to any polynomial must yield a polynomial of lower degree) can only be made on special lattices well known in contemporary $q-$calculus. Orthogonal polynomials satisfying difference relations on such lattices are presented. In particular, lattices which are dense on intervals ($|q|=1$) are considered.

Abstract: We prove theorems on the values of the Bernoulli polynomials B,(x) with n = 2, 3, 4, ..., and the Euler polynomials En(x) with n = 1, 2, 3, ... for 0 < x < 1 where x is rational. Bn(x) and En(x) are expressible in terms of a finite combination of trigonometric functions and the Hurwitz zeta function 4(z, a). The well-known argument-addition formulae and reflection property of Bn (x) and En (x), extend this result to any rational argument. We also deduce new relations concerning the finite sums of the Hurwitz zeta function and sum some classical trigonometric series.
TL;DR: In this paper, limit transitions between the five parameter family of Askey-Wilson polynomials, the four parameter families of big q-Jacobi polynomorphisms, and the three parameters of little qJacomorphisms in n variables associated with root system BC were derived by taking limits of q-difference operators.
Abstract: Limit transitions will be derived between the five parameter family of Askey-Wilson polynomials, the four parameter family of big q-Jacobi polynomials and the three parameter family of little q-Jacobi polynomials in n variables associated with root system BC. These limit transitions generalize the known hierarchy structure between these families in the one variable case. Furthermore it will be proved that these three families are q-analogues of the three parameter family of BC type Jacobi polynomials in n variables. The limit transitions will be derived by taking limits of q-difference operators which have these polynomials as eigenfunctions.

TL;DR: This paper introduces a new hierarchal triangular element in which the basis functions are constructed from orthogonal polynomials—Jacobi polynmials, shown to be better conditioned than the earlier hierarchal element of Rossow and Katz.
Abstract: Hierarchal elements are finite elements which have the useful property that elements with different polynomial orders can be used together in the same mesh without causing discontinuities. This paper introduces a new hierarchal triangular element in which the basis functions are constructed from orthogonal polynomials—Jacobi polynomials. The resulting element is shown to be better conditioned than the earlier hierarchal element of Rossow and Katz.1 Recursive formulas allow the complete set of basis functions for an element to be efficiently evaluated at a given point. In addition, the formulas can be used to generate pre-computed (universal) matrices. Examples are given of universal matrices, up to order 4, for the generalized Helmholtz equation. An electromagnetic problem involving a length of transmission line is used to show the usefulness of the new elements.
