- Koornwinder polynomials
In mathematics, Koornwinder polynomials are a family of
orthogonal polynomials in several variables, named for their discovererTom H. Koornwinder , that generalize theAskey-Wilson polynomials . They can also be viewed asMacdonald polynomials attached to the non-reduced root system of type BC, and in particular satisfy analogues of Macdonald's "conjectures". In addition, the Macdonald polynomials associated to any classical root system can be expressed as limits or special cases of Koornwinder polynomials.The Koorwinder polynomial in "n" variables associated to the partition λ is the unique Laurent polynomial invariant under permutation and inversion variables, with leading monomial "x"λ, and orthogonal with respect to the density
