Abstract

In this paper, bilinear and bilateral generating functions for Racah polynomials are derived, along with a theorem that provides a systematic approach for obtaining these functions. Furthermore, a new recurrence relation and an integral representation for Racah polynomials are established, enhancing their analytical framework. Special attention is given to the limiting cases of Racah polynomials, including Hahn, dual Hahn and Meixner polynomials, for which new recurrence relations are obtained. In particular, a novel integral representation for the dual Hahn polynomial is introduced, offering additional insights into its structural properties. These results contribute to the broader understanding of orthogonal polynomials, enhancing their theoretical significance and potential applications. By expanding the known properties of these polynomials, the findings may provide a basis for further mathematical research and applications in areas such as combinatorics, mathematical physics, and special functions.

Racah polinomlarının çeşitli özellikleri

Abstract

Bu makalede, Racah polinomları için bilinear ve bilateral doğurucu fonksiyonlar türetilmiş ve bu fonksiyonları elde etmek için sistematik bir yaklaşım sağlayan bir teorem sunulmuştur. Ayrıca, Racah polinomları için yeni bir rekürans bağıntısı ve integral gösterim oluşturulmuş, böylece analitik çerçeveleri zenginleştirilmiştir. Racah polinomlarının Hahn, dual Hahn ve Meixner polinomları gibi limit durumlarına özel bir ilgi gösterilmiş ve bu polinomlar için yeni rekürans bağıntıları elde edilmiştir. Özellikle, dual Hahn polinomu için yeni bir integral gösterim sunulmuş ve bu polinomun yapısal özelliklerine dair ek özellikler sağlanmıştır. Bu sonuçlar, ortogonal polinomların daha geniş bir anlayışına katkıda bulunarak teorik anlamlarını ve potansiyel uygulamalarını artırmaktadır. Bu polinomların bilinen özelliklerinin genişletilmesi, kombinatörik, matematiksel fizik ve özel fonksiyonlar gibi alanlarda daha ileri matematiksel araştırmalar ve uygulamalar için bir temel oluşturabilir.
