4 Difference equations and lattices. (Df)(x) = f(ψ(x)) f(ϕ(x)), (1) ψ(x) ϕ(x) y 2 y 1 y 0 The simplest choice for ϕ and ψ is to take the two determinations of an algebraic function of degree 2, i.e., the two y roots of x 0 x 1 F (x, y) = X 0 (x) + X 1 (x)y + X 2 (x)y 2 = 0, (2a) where X 0, X 1, and X 2 are rational functions. Elliptic Riccati, Luminy, July

5 The difference equation at x = x 0 relates then f(y 0 ) to f(y 1 ), where y 1 is the second root of (2a) at x 0. We need x 1 such that y 1 is one of the two roots of (2a) at x 1, so for one of the roots of F (x, y 1 ) = 0 which is not x 0. Here again, the simplest case is when F is of degree 2 in x: F (x, y) = Y 0 (y) + Y 1 (y)x + Y 2 (y)x 2 = 0. (2b) Both forms (2a) and (2b) hold simultaneously when F is biquadratic: F (x, y) = 2 2 c i,j x i y j. (3) i=0 j=0 Elliptic Riccati, Luminy, July

8 Pons asinorum Find f such that Df(x) = x. ( Q(x) + ) ( P (x) Q(x) ) P (x) f f R(x) R(x) i.e., 2 = x, P (x)/r(x) where P, Q, R are given polynomials of degrees 4, 2, and 2! Elliptic Riccati, Luminy, July

9 Why elliptic? -Orthogonal polynomials on several intervals, -contined fraction continuation, -band structure in solid-state physics of Let S be a polynomial of degree 2 and we consider the root ζ 0 (z z 0 )(z x 0 )f 2 (z) 2S(z)f(z)+ζ 1 (z z 0 )(z x 1 ) = 0 (4) Elliptic Riccati, Luminy, July

10 which is regular at z 0. It is also f(z) = S(z) P (z) ζ 0 (z z 0 )(z x 0 ). f(z) = α 0 z + β 0 z z 0 (z z 0 ) 2 α 1 z + β 1 (z z 0) 2 α 2 z + β 2, (5) or f n (z) = with f 0 = f. z z 0 α n z + β n (z z 0 )f n+1 (z), n = 0, 1,... (6) Elliptic Riccati, Luminy, July

11 The form of f is kept in all the f n s (basically from Perron): ζ n (z z 0 )(z x n )f 2 n(z) 2S n (z)f n (x)+ζ n+1 (z z 0 )(z x n+1 ) = 0, (7) and we have the PropositionThe continued fraction expansion (5) of the quadratic function f defined by (4) involves a sequence of quadratic functions defined by (7). The related sequence {x n } is an elliptic sequence. Elliptic Riccati, Luminy, July

12 One has 2n z1 z 0 dt P (t) = x0 z 1 dt xn ± P (t) z 0 dt P (t) +2 j N j zj+1 z 1 (8) dt P (t), Elliptic functions, at last: θ(u; p) = (1 p j u)(1 p j+1 /u), j=0 x n = C θ(qn q 0 η 0 )θ(q n q 0 /η 0 ) θ(q n q 0 η )θ(q n q 0 /η ) Elliptic Riccati, Luminy, July

13 What s going on here. A special (bi-)orthogonal set of functions is known if one has 1. a formula for the scalar product, measure, weight, Stieltjes transform 2. a formula, or at least a recurrence relation formula, for the (bi-)orthogonal functions 3. difference relations and equations 4. hypergeometric expansions Elliptic Riccati, Luminy, July

14 Elliptic Pearson s equation. A famous theorem by Pearson relates the classical orthogonal polynomials to the differential equation w = rw satisfied by the weight function, where r is a rational function of degree 2. Theorem. Let {(x(s 0 + k), y(s 0 + k))} be an elliptic lattice built on the biquadratic curve (2a)-(2b)-(3). If there are polynomials a and c, with a(x(s 0 )) + (y(s 0 + 1) y(s 0 ))c(x(s 0 )) = 0, a(x(s 0 + N)) (y(s 0 + N + 1) y(s 0 + N))c(x(s 0 + N)) = 0, Elliptic Riccati, Luminy, July

15 such that w k+1 a(x Y 2 (y k+1 k) )(x k+1 x k ) w k Y 2 (y k )(x k x k 1 ) y k+1 y k [ ] = c(x w k+1 k) Y 2 (y k+1 )(x k+1 x k ) + w k Y 2 (y k )(x k x k 1 ), (9) k = 0, 1,..., N, where (x k, y k ) is a shorthand for (x(s 0 + Elliptic Riccati, Luminy, July

16 k), y(s 0 + k)), and w 0 = w N+1 = 0, then, f(x) = N k=1 w k x y k (10) satisfies f(ψ(x)) f(ϕ(x)) a(x)df(x) = a(x) ψ(x) ϕ(x) where d is a polynomial too. = c(x)[f(ϕ(x))+f(ψ(x))]+d(x) (11) Elliptic Riccati, Luminy, July

17 Elliptic logarithm We extend f(x) = log x a x b which satisfies f (x) = a b by looking for a function whose divided (x a)(x b) difference is a rational function of low degree. Answer: w k = (x k x k 1 )Y 2(y k ), Df(x) = (x N x 0)X 2 (x) (x x 0 )(x x N ). Elliptic Riccati, Luminy, July

18 Orthogonality and biorthogonality. Padé expansion to f about z 0 : denominators of q n (x) p n (x) = α 0+ α 0 x + β 0 x z 0 (x z 0 ) 2... α n 2 x + β n 2 + (x z 0) 2 α n 1 x + β n 1 satisfy p n+1 (x) = (α n x + β n )p n (x) (x z 0 ) 2 p n 1 (x), asks for f(z 0 ), f (z 0 ), f (z 0 ),... available if f is solution to a differential equation. Elliptic Riccati, Luminy, July

19 Recurrences of biorthogonal rational functions. q n (x) p n (x) = α 0+ α 0 x + β 0 x y 0 (x y 1 )(x y 2 )... which agree with a given set up to x = y 2n. The recurrence relations for p n and q n are α n 2 x + β n 2 + (x y 2n 3)(x y 2n α n 1 x + β n 1 Elliptic Riccati, Luminy, July

20 p n+1 (x) = (α n x + β n )p n (x) (x y 2n 1 )(x y 2n )p n 1 (x), q n+1 (x) = (α n x + β n )q n (x) (x y 2n 1 )(x y 2n )q n 1 (x), with q 0 = α 0, p 0 = 1, q 1 (x) = α 0(α 0 x + β 0 ) + x y 0, p 1 (x) = α 0 x + β 0. We could as well start with q 1 (x) = 1/(x y 1 ) and p 1 = 0. Consider now rational functions R n (x) = p n (x) (x y 2 )(x y 4 ) (x y 2n ) : (x y 2n+2 )R n+1 (x) = (α n x+β n )R n (x) (x y 2n 1 )R n 1 (x), Elliptic Riccati, Luminy, July

21 (x y 2n+1 )T n+1 (x) = (α n x + β n )T n (x) (x y 2n )T n 1 (x), which is of the same structure that the recurrence of the R n s, but with the odd x s interchanged with the even x s. Actually, T n (x) is a constant times the same p n (x) as before, divided by (x y 1 )(x y 3 )... (x y 2n 1 ). Let q n /p n interpolate a formal Stieltjes transform-like function f(x) = S dµ(t) x t, Elliptic Riccati, Luminy, July

22 then q n interpolates p n f at the 2n + 1 points y 0, y 1,..., y 2n. Also, for k < n, q(x) = q n (x)p k (x)(x y 2k+3 )(x y 2k+5 ) (x y 2n 1 ), still of degree < 2n, interpolates p n (x)p k (x))(x y 2k+3 )(x y 2k+5 ) (x y 2n 1 )f(x), still has a vanishing divided difference at these 2n + 1 points: [y 0,..., y 2n ] of p n (x)p k (x))(x y 2k+3 )(x y 2k+5 ) (x y 2n 1 )f(x) p n (t)p k (t))(t y 2k+3 )(t y 2k+5 ) (t y 2n 1 ) dµ(t) = = 0, (t y 0 )(t y 1 ) (t y 2n ) S as the divided difference of a rational function A(x)/(x t) Elliptic Riccati, Luminy, July

23 is A(t)/{(t y 0 )(t y 1 ) (t y 2n )} (Milne-Thomson 1.7). So, R n is orthogonal to T k with respect to the formal scalar product g 1, g 2 = g 1 (t)g 2 (t) dµ(t). S Elliptic Riccati, Luminy, July

24 Where are the orthogonal polynomials on elliptic lattices? Interpolation = Padé if z 0 = x is the limit of the x n s. point. A generic elliptic lattice has no convergence (However... ) Elliptic Riccati, Luminy, July

25 Definition Elliptic Riccati equations. An elliptic Riccati equation is f(ψ(x)) f(ϕ(x)) a(x) ψ(x) ϕ(x) = b(x)f(ϕ(x))f(ψ(x))+ c(x)(f(ϕ(x)) + f(ψ(x))) + d(x). (12) If x = x m, some point of our x lattice, then ϕ(x) = y m and ψ(x) = y m+1. Elliptic Riccati, Luminy, July

26 A first-order difference equation of the kind (13) relates f(y 0 ) to f(y 1 ) when x = x 0 ; f(y 1 ) to f(y 2 ) when x = x 1, etc. The direct relation is [ ] a ψ ϕ + c f(ϕ) + d f(ψ) = a ψ ϕ c bf(ϕ). It is sometimes easier to write (13) as e(x)f(ϕ(x))f(ψ(x))+g(x)f(ϕ(x))+h(x)f(ψ(x))+k(x) = 0, where e = b, g = a ψ ϕ c, h = a ψ ϕ c, and k = d. Elliptic Riccati, Luminy, July

27 However, if a, b, c, and d are rational functions, g and h are conjugate algebraic functions: h + g and hg are symmetric functions of ϕ and ψ, hence rational functions. This also happens with 2a = (h g)(ψ ϕ). Elliptic Riccati, Luminy, July

28 Now, if f n satisfies the Riccati equation a n (x) f n(ψ(x)) f n (ϕ(x)) ψ(x) ϕ(x) = b n (x)f(ϕ(x))f n (ψ(x)) + c n (x)(f(ϕ(x)) + f(ψ(x))) + d n (x), (13) Theorem. If f n satisfies the Riccati equation (14) with rational coefficients a n, b n, c n, and d n, and if f n (x) = x y 2n α n x + β n (x y 2n+1 )f n+1 (x), then f n+1 satisfies an equation with coefficients a n+1 etc. of same complexity (degree of the rational functions).

31 where C n = Y 2(y 2n 1 )Y 2 (y 2n 3 ) Y 2 (y 1 ) Y 2 (y 2n 2 )Y 2 (y 2n 4 ) Y 2 (y 0 ). Classical case. We keep the lowest possible degree, which is 3, considering that b n and d n must be X 2 (x) times a polynomial containing the factor x x 2n 1. Let d n (x) = ζ n (x x 2n 1 )X 2 (x), a n c n = X 2 times a polynomial of degree 1. of degree 3, and Elliptic Riccati, Luminy, July

32 b n+1 (x) = F (x, y 2n+1) F (x, y 2n ) ζ n(x x 2n 1 )X 2 (x) = Y 2(y 2n+1 ) Y 2 (y 2n ) ζ n(x x 2n+1 )X From the Riccati equation (14) at x = x 2n 1 and f n (y 2n ) = 0, we have a n (x 2n 1 ) y 2n y 2n 1 = c n (x 2n 1 ), allowing the divison of the left-hand side of (16), leaving c 2 n(x) b n (x)d n (x) X2 2(x) P (x) a 2 n(x) = C n (x x 2n 1 )Q(x), Elliptic Riccati, Luminy, July

33 where Q is a fixed polynomial of degree 5. At each of the four zeros z 1,..., z 4 of P, a n (z j ) = ± C n (z j x 2n 1 )Q(z j ), allowing to recover the third degree polynomial a n from four values... should the square roots be determined! Square rootfree relations come from (15) at z j, knowing that ϕ(z j ) = ψ(z j ), which we call ϕ j : a n+1 (z j ) = ϕ j y 2n+1 ϕ j y 2n a n (z j ) Elliptic Riccati, Luminy, July

34 Remark that, from (16), Q(z j ) = a 2 0(z j )/(z j x 1 ), so there is a subtle relation between the product of the (ϕ j y 2n+1 )/(ϕ j y 2n ) s and a square root of (z j x 2n 1 )/(z j x 1 ). Elliptic Riccati, Luminy, July
