In mathematics, Gegenbauer polynomials or ultraspherical polynomials ''C''(''x'') are orthogonal polynomials on the interval () with respect to the weight function (1 − ''x''2)''α''–1/2. They generalize Legendre polynomials and Chebyshev polynomials, and are special cases of Jacobi polynomials. They are named after Leopold Gegenbauer. ==Characterizations== Mplwp gegenbauer Cn05a1.svg|Gegenbauer polynomials with ''α''=1 Mplwp gegenbauer Cn05a2.svg|Gegenbauer polynomials with ''α''=2 Mplwp gegenbauer Cn05a3.svg|Gegenbauer polynomials with ''α''=3 Gegenbauer polynomials.gif|Gegenbauer polynomials A variety of characterizations of the Gegenbauer polynomials are available. * The polynomials can be defined in terms of their generating function : :: * The polynomials satisfy the recurrence relation : :: * Gegenbauer polynomials are particular solutions of the Gegenbauer differential equation : :: :When ''α'' = 1/2, the equation reduces to the Legendre equation, and the Gegenbauer polynomials reduce to the Legendre polynomials. * They are given as Gaussian hypergeometric series in certain cases where the series is in fact finite: :: :(Abramowitz & Stegun (p. 561 )).
