Let $P_n(x)$ be a set of orthogonal polynomials. Define the new polynomials $Q_n(x) =\\mu_{n+1}^{-1}{\\cal D} P_{n+1}(x)$. We find necessary and sufficient conditions when the polynomials $Q_n(x)$ will also be orthogonal. Apart from well known examples of the classical orthogonal polynomials we present a new example of umbral classical polynomials expressed in terms of elliptic functions.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2014-03-23T18:24:30.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "sufficient conditions", "classical orthogonal polynomials", "elliptic functions", "coefficients", "generalized derivative operator" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 24, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2014arXiv1403.4014Z" } } }
