Rogers polynomials
In mathematics, the Rogers polynomials, also called Rogers–Askey–Ismail polynomials and continuous q-ultraspherical polynomials, are a family of orthogonal polynomials introduced by Rogers (1892, 1893, 1894) in the course of his work on the Rogers–Ramanujan identities. They are q-analogs of ultraspherical polynomials, and are the Macdonald polynomials for the special case of the A1 affine root system (Macdonald 2003, p.156).
Askey & Ismail (1983) and Gasper & Rahman (2004, 7.4) discuss the properties of Rogers polynomials in detail.
Definition
The Rogers polynomials can be defined in terms of the q-Pochhammer symbol and the basic hypergeometric series by
where x = cos(θ).
