- Askey–Gasper inequality
In mathematics, the Askey–Gasper inequality, named after
Richard Askey and George Gasper, is an inequality forJacobi polynomial s proved by harvtxt|Askey|Gasper|1976. It states that if "β" ≥ 0, "α" + "β" ≥ −2, and −1 ≤ "x" ≤ 1 then:
where
:
is a
Jacobi polynomial .The case when β=0 and α is a non-negative integer was used by
Louis de Branges in his proof of theBieberbach conjecture .References
