Namely, we present a self-adjoint operator associated to the differential expression with the exceptional $X_m$-Jacobi orthogonal polynomials as eigenfunctions. This proves that those polynomials are indeed eigenfunctions of the self-adjoint operator (rather than just formal eigenfunctions). Further, we prove the completeness of the exceptional $X_m$-Jacobi orthogonal polynomials (of degrees $m, m+1, m+2, ...$) in the Lebesgue--Hilbert space with the appropriate weight. In particular, the self-adjoint operator has no other spectrum.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2015-01-20T02:29:17.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "33C45", "34B24", "42C05", "33C47", "47B25" ], "keywords": [ "jacobi equation", "spectral analysis", "self-adjoint operator", "jacobi orthogonal polynomials", "exceptional" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 9, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2015arXiv150104698L" } } }
