1 DIFFERENTIAL PROPERTIES OF A GENERAL CLASS OF POLYNOMIALS Richard Andre-Jeannin IUT GEA, Route de Romain, Longwy, France (Submitted April 1994) 1. INTRODUCTION Let us consider the generalized Fibonacci polynomials U n (p,q; x) the generalized Lucas polynomials V n (p,q\ x) (or simply U V n if there is no danger of confusion) defined by U^Qc + pw^-qu^ (C7 0 = 0, ^ = 1), (1.1) V = (x + p)v^-qv n _ 2 (K 0 = 2,K 1 = x + p). (1.2) The parameters/? q as well as the variable x are arbitrary real numbers we denote by a = a(x) /? = J3(x) the numbers such that a + fl = x + p afi-q. The polynomials U n V n can be expressed by means of the Binet forms where Recall that a n -B n U n=^jir-> fora*0, (1.3) V n = a n +fi\ (1.4) A = A(x) = (x + pf-4q. (1.5) a = ((x + p) + A 1/2 )/2, f] = ((x + p)-a l/2 )/2. (1.6) Notice that A > 0 for every xif q <0 for all x sufficiently large if q > 0. Particular cases of U n (p,q;x) V n (p,q;x) are the Fibonacci Lucas polynomials (F (x) L n (x)), the Pell Pell-Lucas polynomials [6] (P n (x) <2 (x)), the first the second Fermat polynomials [7] (O n (x)), the Morgan-Voyce polynomials [1, 2, 5, 8, 9, 10] (5 (x) C (x)), the Chebyschev polynomials (S (x) 7^(x)) given by U n (0 9-1; x) = F (x), F (0, - 1 ; x) = I (x) C/ (0-1; 2x) = P n (x), F w (0,-1; 2x) - &(x) / (0,2; x) = <D (x), F w (0,2; x) = 0 (x) (1.7) U n+l (2,l;x) = B n (xl C/ (0,1; 2x) - S w (x), K n (2,l;x) = C ll (x) F w (0,1; 2x) = 27 (x). In earlier papers [1, 2] the author has discussed the combinatorial properties of the coefficients of U n V n. Here, we shall investigate the differential properties satisfied by these polynomials, such as differential equations Rodrigues' formulas. 1995] 453
2 Let us define the sequence {c tk } n > k > 0 by c «,o = 2- rr, :»>0, (1.8) (2») Notice that ^ = ^ - ^ ± 1, n*k*l. (1.9) c, = 2 {2n)\n + k (n-k)\ Cn,k + i=(p 2 -k 2 Kk, n>k + l>\. (1.10) Our main results are the following theorems. Theorem 1: For every real number x, the polynomial the polynomial 7 7 < * - l ) -. * 77 > 1 " ~ k ~ l "' ' satisfy the differential equation E n y. y(k) = ay k>0 n k "' ' Theorem 2: For every x such that A > 0, we have Az" + (2k + l)(x + p)z' + (k 2 -n 2 )z = 0. (1.11) U =nc 0 A- m 4^A"- m, n>\, (1.12) where c w 0 is defined by (1.8). A!/2 " AW-1/2 r ^ ^ o A - ^ A ", «> 0, (1.13) More generally, we also have Rodrigues' formulas for U^k) V^k\ namely, Theorem 3: For every x such that A > 0 every k > 0, we have / 2 ; 2 \ rn-k-1 «" * "- k - 1 (1.14) F «= c w,, A - ^ / 2 ^ A " - 1 / 2, n>k, (1.15) where c w ^ is defined by (1.9). Notice that Theorem 3 reduces to Theorem 2 for k = 0 that (1.14) can be written, by (1.10), ^ = ^ A - * - 1 / 2 ^ ^ A " - 1 / 2, n>k. (1.16) 454 [NOV.
3 2. PROOF OF THEOREM 1 It is readily proven [3, 4] by (1.5) (1.6) that, for every x such that A > 0, \a' = aa- in, V ^'\ (21) thus that \(a n )' = na"a- 1 ' 2, \ (2.2) [( ")'= -n{]"a- in. By this, (1.3), (1.4), we see [3, 4] that K = nu (2.3) therefore that V^k)^nU {k ~ l \ k>\. (2.4) Notice that these identities are valid for every value of x, not only when A > 0, since the two members are polynomials. By (2.2), we also deduce that a n /5 n, whence V n = a" +/3" satisfies the differential equation (A m y) = n 2 A- m y, fora>0, (2.5) which is equivalent, for A > 0, to the equation 0 [see (1.11)], namely, Ay" + (x + p)y' -n 2 y = 0. (2.6) Notice that V n satisfies E n0 for every value of x, since, in that case, the first member of (2.6) is a polynomial. Differentiating (2.6) k times using Leibniz' rule, we see that z - y^ satisfies the differential equation E n%k (1.11). Hence, E n%k is satisfied by V< k \k>0, U {k ~ l) = ^ k \ k>\. This concludes the proof. For instance, the Morgan-Voyce polynomial B n {x)-u n+l {2X x ) equation n+1 x x(x + 4)z" + 3(x + 2)z f -n(n + 2)z = 0. satisfies the differential This result was first noticed by Swamy [10]. Remark: When A > 0, it is easy to verify that E tk can be written as la k+m z>] = (n 2 - k 2 )A k ~ V2 z, (2.7) which is a generalization of (2.5). We now give another (nonpolynomial) solution of E n^k. Proposition 1: Let n k be two integers such that n + k-l>0. ^ r A"" 1/2 is a solution of E tk. Then, for A > 0, the function 1995] 455
4 Proof: It is easy to verify that, for A > 0, A" 1/2 is a solution of the differential equation Ay" - {2n - 3)(x + p)y - {2n -\)y = 0. (2.8) Differentiating (2.8) {n + k-1) times putting z = y^n+k ~~ 1 \ we obtain Az" + 2(" + i~ l \x + p)z' + 2( n + *~ l \z-{2n-3)\ \{x + p)z'+\^ l J -{2n-l)z = 0. After some rearrangement, one can see that this equation is identical to E n k. Remark: Using the formulation (2.7) of E n k putting z d_ jn+k tffr,n+jc Changing A to (- -1) in (2.9), where n-k>2,we d_ K-k-M2 jn-k-\ = (rf-k 2 )A* A/f-1/2 = {n 2 -{k + l) 2 )A #,n-k-l ' =, n+k _, A, one can write " K l jn+k-l J2 i r 2\kk-\l2 «A/l-l/2 (2.9) ^& j.w+fc-1 ' obtain a formula that we shall need later: 2\ A -k-3/2 In particular, changing n to («+1), putting = - 1, we get jn-k-2 1 n-k-2 AH-1/2 (2.10) _d_ il/2 7«+l A w+1 AW+1/2 rf" = {n + \YA- i,z^~a n+i, \ n>0. (2.11) 3. PROOF OF THEOREM 2 In the proof of Theorem 2, we shall need the following well-known readily proven result: V^=\[(x+p)V n + MJ n \ (3.1) By (1.8), formula (1.12) (resp. (1.13)) is clear if n = 1 (resp. n = 0 or» = 1). Supposing that (1.12) (1.13) are true for n> 1, we get by (3.1) that K +i = n\ _ Al/2 (2/i!) On the other h, one can notice by (1.5) that (* + ^ A «- - + ^ > - - ase" " (3.2) " U Kn-\I1 = (2#i + l) {x+p)^-a n - i,l +n-^^a V F) " n ~ l n-l/2 a (3.3) From (3.2) (3.3), we see that "n+l ~ which is the needed formula for K w+l- n\ Ai/ 2 1 d w+l AW+1/2 (/i + l)! (2w!) 2n+\',«+l = 2 (2«-f2)!" \l/2 //7+1 ^,«+l A»+l/2 (3.4) 456 [NOV.
5 Now we see, by (2.3) (3.4), that U n+l -,,, V n+l ~ Z #i + l ^ (2n + 2)\ \l/2 a AW+1/2 *#.w+1 = 2 ( ^ ( W + 1)2A_1/2 S A " +1/2 ' by(2 - U) ' This completes the proof of Theorem 2. V ; (2«+ 2)! A" 4. PROOF OF THEOREM 3 We proceed by induction on k. By Theorem 2, statement (1.14) clearly holds for k - 0 every n>\. Supposing that (1.14) holds for k >0 every n>k + l we get, by (1.16),, by (2.10), we have at once that jn-k-1 Uf+1) = _!&)=: /y-k-l/2 _^ n \ ' n-k-l A«-1/2 A which is the needed formula for /^+1). On the other h, statement (1.15) holds for k - 0, by Theorem 2. When & > 1 we get, by (2.4) (1.14) that This completes the proof of Theorem 3. V& = nut l) = c^a~* +1/2 ^ A"" 1/2, n>k. REFERENCES 1.
