Chebyshev Polynomial of the Second Kind

A modified set of Chebyshev polynomials defined by a slightly different generating function. They arise in the development of four-dimensional spherical harmonics in angular momentum theory. They are a special case of the Gegenbauer polynomial with
. They are also intimately connected with trigonometric multiple-angle formulas. The Chebyshev polynomials of the second kind are denoted
, and implemented in the Wolfram Language as ChebyshevU[n, x]. The polynomials
are illustrated above for
and
, 2, ..., 5.
The first few Chebyshev polynomials of the second kind are
When ordered from smallest to largest powers, the triangle of nonzero coefficients is 1; 2;
, 4;
, 8; 1,
, 16; 6,
, 32; ... (OEIS A053117).
The defining generating function of the Chebyshev polynomials of the second kind is

. To see the relationship to a Chebyshev polynomial of the first kind
, take

Multiplying (◇) by

and adding (12) and (◇) gives
This is the same generating function as for the Chebyshev polynomial of the first kind except for an additional factor of
in the denominator.
The Rodrigues representation for
is
![U_n(x)=((-1)^n(n+1)sqrt(pi))/(2^(n+1)(n+1/2)!(1-x^2)^(1/2))(d^n)/(dx^n)[(1-x^2)^(n+1/2)].](http://mathworld.wolfram.com/images/equations/ChebyshevPolynomialoftheSecondKind/NumberedEquation2.gif) |

The polynomials can also be defined in terms of the sums
where
is the floor function and
is the ceiling function, or in terms of the product
![U_n(x)=2^nproduct_(k=1)^n[x-cos((kpi)/(n+1))]](http://mathworld.wolfram.com/images/equations/ChebyshevPolynomialoftheSecondKind/NumberedEquation3.gif) |

The Chebyshev polynomials of the second kind are a special case of the Jacobi polynomials
with
,
where
is a hypergeometric function (Koekoek and Swarttouw 1998).
Letting
allows the Chebyshev polynomials of the second kind to be written as
![U_n(x)=(sin[(n+1)theta])/(sintheta).](http://mathworld.wolfram.com/images/equations/ChebyshevPolynomialoftheSecondKind/NumberedEquation5.gif) |

The second linearly dependent solution to the transformed differential equation is then given by
![W_n(x)=(cos[(n+1)theta])/(sintheta),](http://mathworld.wolfram.com/images/equations/ChebyshevPolynomialoftheSecondKind/NumberedEquation6.gif) |

which can also be written

where
is a Chebyshev polynomial of the first kind. Note that
is therefore not a polynomial.
