Polynomial solutions of certain differential equations arising in physics
2011
Linear differential equations of arbitrary order with polynomial coefficients are considered. Specifically, necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of polynomial solutions of a given degree are obtained for these equations. An algorithm to determine these conditions and to construct the polynomial solutions is given. The effectiveness of this algorithmic approach is illustrated by applying it to several differential equations that arise in mathematical physics.
ANOTHER SPECIAL DIFFERENTIAL EQUATION AND POLYNOMIALS
Special differential equations and polynomials are very popular in the field of mathematics and serve as important tools in the solution of some engineering problems. Examples of these equations are Legendre, Hermite, Laguerre, Bessel, Gegenbaur differential equations. In this paper, we established a new special differential equation and its polynomial which we called Legendre subsidiary equation and polynomial. The Rodrigue formula, generating function and recurrence relations of the polynomial are given. We also gave the orthogonality properties of the polynomials, and our results are entering the literature for the first time.
Chebyshev Polynomial Solutions of Certain Second Order Non-Linear Differential Equations
Gazi University Journal of Science, 2011
The purpose of this study is to give a Chebyshev polynomial approximation for the solution of second-order non-linear differential equations with variable coefficients. For this purpose, Chebyshev matrix method is introduced. This method is based on taking the truncated Chebyshev expansions of the functions in the nonlinear differential equations. Hence, the result matrix equation can be solved and the unknown Chebyshev coefficients can be found approximately. Additionally, the mentioned method is illustrated by two examples.
Polynomial solutions of N th order non-homogeneous differential equations
International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2002
It was shown in 1 that the homogeneous differential equation 1 x N y N A N1 x N1 y N1 A N2 x N2 y N2 A 1 xy A 0 y 0 1 has a finite polynomial solution if and only if r 0 r N, n 0 n mod N r 2 where n is a root of the recurrence relation. In this paper, the case in which the equation has a forcing term on the right hand side is considered. This forcing term is selected in such a manner that, given appropriate initial conditions, a particular solution will result that matches a finite portion of the infinite series homogenous solution, and at the same time, annihilates this infinite series homogeneous solution. The result of these initial conditions and this right hand side is a solution that is a polynomial. The results obtained apply to the classical equations of Hermite, Legendre, and Chebyshev with appropriate forcing terms and initial conditions.
Algorithms
The analysis of many physical phenomena is reduced to the study of linear differential equations with polynomial coefficients. The present work establishes the necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of polynomial solutions to linear differential equations with polynomial coefficients of degree n, n−1, and n−2 respectively. We show that for n≥3 the necessary condition is not enough to ensure the existence of the polynomial solutions. Applying Scheffé’s criteria to this differential equation we have extracted n generic equations that are analytically solvable by two-term recurrence formulas. We give the closed-form solutions of these generic equations in terms of the generalized hypergeometric functions. For arbitrary n, three elementary theorems and one algorithm were developed to construct the polynomial solutions explicitly along with the necessary and sufficient conditions. We demonstrate the validity of the algorithm by constructing the polynomial solutions for the...

We analyze the polynomial solutions of the linear differential equation p2(x)y ′′ +p1(x)y ′ + p0(x)y = 0 where pj(x) is a j th -degree polynomial. We discuss all the possible polynomial solutions and their dependence on the parameters of the polynomials pj(x). Special cases are related to known differential equations of mathematical physics. Classes of new soluble problems are exhibited. General results are obtained for weight functions and orthogonality relations.

The Hermite polynomials can be defined through a second order differential equation with non constant coefficients, admitting two solutions one of which of non polynomial nature. The properties of this solution are studied here using an algebraic formalism, employing the techniques developed within the framework of the monomiality principle.

Recently, Khan et al. [S. Khan, G. Yasmin, R. Khan and N. A. M. Hassan, Hermite-based Appell polynomials: Properties and Applications, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 351 (2009), 756-764] defined the Hermite-based Appell polynomials by G(x, y, z, t) := A(t)?exp(xt + yt2 + zt3) = ??,n=0 HAn(x, y, z) tn/n! and investigated their many interesting properties and characteristics by using operational techniques combined with the principle of monomiality. Here, in this paper, we find the differential, integro-differential and partial differential equations for the Hermite-based Appell polynomials via the factorization method. Furthermore, we derive the corresponding equations for the Hermite-based Bernoulli polynomials and the Hermite-based Euler polynomials. We also indicate how to deduce the corresponding results for the Hermite-based Genocchi polynomials from those involving the Hermite-based Euler polynomials.

In this paper, we proved the superiority of Legendre polynomial to Chebyshev polynomial in solving first order ordinary differential equation with rational coefficient. We generated shifted polynomial of Chebyshev, Legendre and Canonical polynomials which deal with solving differential equation by first choosing Chebyshev polynomial T* n (X), defined with the help of hypergeometric series T* n (x) =F ( -n, n, ½ ;X) and later choosing Legendre polynomial P* n (x) define by the series P* n (x) = F ( -n, n+1, 1;X); with the help of an auxiliary set of Canonical polynomials Q k in order to find the superiority between the two polynomials. Numerical examples are given which show the superiority of Legendre polynomials to Chebyshev polynomials. @JASEM
