Polynomial Sequence - Examples

Examples

Some polynomial sequences arise in physics and approximation theory as the solutions of certain ordinary differential equations:

  • Laguerre polynomials
  • Chebyshev polynomials
  • Legendre polynomials
  • Jacobi polynomials

Others come from statistics:

  • Hermite polynomials

Many are studied in algebra and combinatorics:

  • Monomials
  • Rising factorials
  • Falling factorials
  • Abel polynomials
  • Bell polynomials
  • Bernoulli polynomials
  • Dickson polynomials
  • Fibonacci polynomials
  • Lagrange polynomials
  • Lucas polynomials
  • Spread polynomials
  • Touchard polynomials
  • Rook polynomials

Famous quotes containing the word examples:

    It is hardly to be believed how spiritual reflections when mixed with a little physics can hold people’s attention and give them a livelier idea of God than do the often ill-applied examples of his wrath.
    —G.C. (Georg Christoph)

    Histories are more full of examples of the fidelity of dogs than of friends.
    Alexander Pope (1688–1744)

    No rules exist, and examples are simply life-savers answering the appeals of rules making vain attempts to exist.
    André Breton (1896–1966)
