2.8 Jacobi

Wilson Jacobi.

  
The Jacobi polynomials given by (1.8.1) can be found from the Wilson polynomials by substituting , , and in the definition (1.1.1) of the Wilson polynomials and taking the limit . In fact we have

Continuous Hahn Jacobi.

  
The Jacobi polynomials defined by (1.8.1) follow from the continuous Hahn polynomials by the substitution , , , and in (1.4.1), division by and the limit :

Hahn Jacobi.

  
To find the Jacobi polynomials from the Hahn polynomials we take in (1.5.1) and let We have

Jacobi Laguerre.

  
The Laguerre polynomials can be obtained from the Jacobi polynomials defined by (1.8.1) by letting and then :

Jacobi Hermite.

  
The Hermite polynomials given by (1.13.1) follow from the Jacobi polynomials defined by (1.8.1) by taking and letting in the following way :


2.8.1 Gegenbauer / Ultraspherical

Gegenbauer / Ultraspherical Hermite.

    
The Hermite polynomials given by (1.13.1) follow from the Gegenbauer (or ultraspherical) polynomials defined by (1.8.15) by taking and letting in the following way :
