Koornwinder polynomials — In mathematics, Koornwinder polynomials are a family of orthogonal polynomials in several variables, named for their discoverer Tom H. Koornwinder, that generalize the Askey Wilson polynomials. They can also be viewed as Macdonald polynomials… … Wikipedia
Hermite polynomials — In mathematics, the Hermite polynomials are a classical orthogonal polynomial sequence that arise in probability, such as the Edgeworth series; in combinatorics, as an example of an Appell sequence, obeying the umbral calculus; in numerical… … Wikipedia
List of special functions and eponyms — This is a list of special function eponyms in mathematics, to cover the theory of special functions, the differential equations they satisfy, named differential operators of the theory (but not intended to include every mathematical eponym).… … Wikipedia
Orthogonal polynomials — In mathematics, an orthogonal polynomial sequence is a family of polynomials such that any two different polynomials in the sequence are orthogonal to each other under some inner product. The most widely used orthogonal polynomials are the… … Wikipedia
Chebyshev polynomials — Not to be confused with discrete Chebyshev polynomials. In mathematics the Chebyshev polynomials, named after Pafnuty Chebyshev,[1] are a sequence of orthogonal polynomials which are related to de Moivre s formula and which can be defined… … Wikipedia
