Born in 1915 in Sylhet (now in Bangladesh), Sudhansu Datta Majumdar had his education in Sylhet; [[Presidency College, Calcutta]], and University College of Science, Calcutta. In an academic career spanning several decades, he served in different capacities in various institutions. Beginning with a stint in the Palit Laboratory of Physics, [[Calcutta University]], from where he wrote the now famous Majumdar–Papapetrou paper,<ref name = majumdar>{{cite journal| last = Majumdar| first = S D| authorlink = | title = A Class of Exact Solutions of Einstein's Field Equations | year = 1947| journal = [[Physical Review]]| volume = 72| issue = 5| pages =390–398| doi = 10.1103/PhysRev.72.390|bibcode = 1947PhRv...72..390M }}</ref> he was appointed Lecturer in Physics in Calcutta University in 1951. Subsequently, he became a reader there in 1960.  During 1956–57, he went to Cambridge University, United Kingdom, on an educational tour in order to interact with [[P. A. M. Dirac]]. In 1962, Majumdar obtained the rare honor of the degree of D.Sc. in Physics from Calcutta University, one of his thesis examiners being [[J.A. Wheeler]]. Three years later, in 1965, he joined [[IIT, Kharagpur]], as a Professor of Physics where he served till 1975. His last academic appointment was, as a Professor of Mathematics in Visva Bharati, Shantiniketan. In 1974, he was invited by [[Yeshiva University]], New York, to deliver a course of lectures. He visited the Mathematics Department, Monash University, Australia, between July and December, 1976. [[Calcutta Mathematical Society]] elected him as their president in 1980. The diverse areas in which he contributed substantially include --- [[General Relativity]], [[Electrodynamics]], [[Group Theory]] and [[Spectroscopy]]. He died in Calcutta in 1997.<ref name = memorial>{{cite journal | title = Memorial: Sudhansu Datta Majumdar (1915-1997)| journal = [[Ansatz (journal)|Ansatz]] | volume = 3 | url = http://www.phy.iitkgp.ernet.in/ansatz3/Memorial.html}}</ref>

===Via the hypergeometric function===

The Jacobi polynomials are defined via the [[hypergeometric function]] as follows<ref>{{Abramowitz_Stegun_ref|22|561}}</ref>:


The phenomenon of static equilibrium for a system of point charges is well known in Newtonian theory, where the mutual gravitational and electrostatic forces can be balanced by fine-tuning the charge suitably with the particle masses. The corresponding generalisation, in the form of static solutions of the coupled, source-free Einstein-Maxwell equations, was discovered by Majumdar and Papapetrou independently in 1947.<ref name = majumdar>{{cite journal| last = Datta Majumdar| first = Sudhansu| authorlink = | title = A Class of Exact Solutions of Einstein's Field Equations| pages =390–398 | year = 1947 | journal = [[Physical Review]]| volume = 72| issue = 5| page = 390| doi = 10.1103/PhysRev.72.390|bibcode = 1947PhRv...72..390M }}</ref><ref name = papapetrou>{{cite journal| last = Papapetrou| first = A | authorlink = | title = | journal = [[Proceedings of Royal Irish Academy A]]| volume = 51| issue = | pages =191| year =1947}}</ref> These gravitational fields assume no spatial symmetry and also contain geodesics which are incomplete. While work continued on understanding these solutions better, a renewed interest in this metric was generated by the important observation of [[Werner Israel|Israel]] and Wilson in 1972 that static black-hole spacetimes with the mass being equal to the magnitude of the charge are of Majumdar–Papapetrou form. In the same year, it was shown by [[James Hartle|Hartle]] and [[Stephen Hawking|Hawking]]<ref name = hartle-hawking>{{cite journal| author= Hartle, James B.; and  Hawking, Stephen| title = Solutions of the Einstein-Maxwell equations with many black holes| journal = [[Communications in Mathematical Physics]]| volume = 26| issue =2 | pages =87–101| year =1972 |doi=10.1007/BF01645696 |bibcode = 1972CMaPh..26...87H }}</ref> that these spacetimes can be analytically extended to electrovacuum black hole spacetimes with a regular domain of outer communication. They interpreted this as a system of charged black holes in equilibrium under their gravitational and electrical forces. Each one of these many black holes or the multi-black holes system has a spherical topology and hence is a fairly regular object. In a more recent development, the uniqueness of the metric was discussed by Heusler, Chrusciel and others. These and other aspects of the Majumdar–Papapetrou metric have attracted considerable attention on the classical side, as well as in the work and applications from the perspective of string theory. In particular, the mass equal to charge aspect of these models was used extensively in certain string theoretic considerations connected to black hole entropy and related issues.
:<math>P_n^{(\alpha,\beta)}(z)=\frac{(\alpha+1)_n}{n!}
\,_2F_1\left(-n,1+\alpha+\beta+n;\alpha+1;\frac{1-z}{2}\right) ,</math>


==Majumdar–Papapetrou geometries==
where <math>(\alpha+1)_n</math> is [[Pochhammer symbol|Pochhammer's symbol]] (for the rising factorial). In this case, the series for the hypergeometric function is finite, therefore one obtains the following equivalent expression:


Majumdar–Papapetrou geometries generalize axially symmetric solutions to Einstein-Maxwell equations found by [[Hermann Weyl]] to a completely nonsymmetric and general case. The line element is given by:
:<math>
:<math>
ds^2 = -U(x,y,z)^{-2}dt^2 + U(x,y,z)^2 (dx^2 + dy^2 + dz^2),
P_n^{(\alpha,\beta)} (z) =  
\frac{\Gamma (\alpha+n+1)}{n!\,\Gamma (\alpha+\beta+n+1)}
\sum_{m=0}^n {n\choose m}
\frac{\Gamma (\alpha + \beta + n + m + 1)}{\Gamma (\alpha + m + 1)} \left(\frac{z-1}{2}\right)^m~.
</math>
</math>


where the only nonvanishing component of the vector potential <math>A_{\mu}\ </math> is the scalar potential <math> \Phi (x)\ </math>. The relation between the metric and the scalar field is given by
===Rodrigues' formula===
 
An equivalent definition is given by [[Rodrigues' formula]]<ref name=sz/><ref>{{SpringerEOM|id=Jacobi_polynomials|author=P.K. Suetin}}</ref>:
 
:<math>P_n^{(\alpha,\beta)} (z)
= \frac{(-1)^n}{2^n n!} (1-z)^{-\alpha} (1+z)^{-\beta}
\frac{d^n}{dz^n} \left\{ (1-z)^\alpha (1+z)^\beta (1 - z^2)^n \right\}~. </math>
 
===Alternate expression for real argument===
 
For real ''x'' the Jacobi polynomial can alternatively be
written as
 
:<math>P_n^{(\alpha,\beta)}(x)=
\sum_s
{n+\alpha\choose s}{n+\beta \choose n-s}
\left(\frac{x-1}{2}\right)^{n-s} \left(\frac{x+1}{2}\right)^{s}
</math>
 
where ''s'' ≥ 0 and ''n''-''s'' ≥ 0, and for integer ''n''
 
:<math>
{z\choose n} = \frac{\Gamma(z+1)}{\Gamma(n+1)\Gamma(z-n+1)},
</math>
 
and ''&Gamma;''(''z'') is the [[Gamma function]], using the convention that:
 
:<math>
{z\choose n} = 0 \quad\text{for}\quad n < 0.
</math>
 
In the special case that the four quantities
''n'', ''n''+''&alpha;'', ''n''+''&beta;'', and
''n''+''&alpha;''+''&beta;''  are nonnegative integers,
the Jacobi polynomial can be written as
 
{{NumBlk|:|<math>\begin{align}
&P_n^{(\alpha,\beta)}(x)=  (n+\alpha)! (n+\beta)! \\
&\qquad \times \sum_s
\left[s! (n+\alpha-s)!(\beta+s)!(n-s)!\right]^{-1} \left(\frac{x-1}{2}\right)^{n-s} \left(\frac{x+1}{2}\right)^{s}.
\end{align}
</math>|{{EquationRef|1}}}}
 
The sum extends over all integer values of ''s'' for which the arguments of the factorials are nonnegative.
 
==Basic properties==
===Orthogonality===
 
The Jacobi polynomials satisfy the orthogonality condition
 
:<math>\begin{align}
&\int_{-1}^1 (1-x)^{\alpha} (1+x)^{\beta}
P_m^{(\alpha,\beta)} (x)P_n^{(\alpha,\beta)} (x) \; dx \\
&\quad=
\frac{2^{\alpha+\beta+1}}{2n+\alpha+\beta+1}
\frac{\Gamma(n+\alpha+1)\Gamma(n+\beta+1)}{\Gamma(n+\alpha+\beta+1)n!} \delta_{nm}
\end{align}
</math>
 
for ''&alpha;'' > -1 and ''&beta;'' > -1.
 
As defined, they are not orthonormal, the normalization being
 
:<math>P_n^{(\alpha, \beta)} (1) = {n+\alpha\choose n}.</math>
 
===Symmetry relation===
 
The polynomials have the symmetry relation
 
:<math>P_n^{(\alpha, \beta)} (-z) = (-1)^n P_n^{(\beta, \alpha)} (z);
</math>
 
thus the other terminal value is
:<math>P_n^{(\alpha, \beta)} (-1) = (-1)^n { n+\beta\choose n} .
</math>
 
===Derivatives===
 
The ''k''th derivative of the explicit expression leads to
 
:<math>
:<math>
\Phi(x) = A_{t}(x) = U^{-1}(x),
\frac{\mathrm d^k}{\mathrm d z^k}
P_n^{(\alpha,\beta)} (z) =  
\frac{\Gamma (\alpha+\beta+n+1+k)}{2^k \Gamma (\alpha+\beta+n+1)}
P_{n-k}^{(\alpha+k, \beta+k)} (z) .
</math>
</math>


where the electrostatic field is normalized to unity at infinity.  The source-free Einstein-Maxwell equations then reduce to the Laplace equation given by:
===Differential equation===
 
The Jacobi polynomial ''P''<sub>''n''</sub><sup>(''&alpha;'', ''&beta;'')</sup> is a solution of the second order [[linear homogeneous differential equation]]<ref name=sz/>
 
:<math>
:<math>
\nabla ^2 U(x,y,z) = \frac{\partial^2 U}{\partial x^2} + \frac{\partial^2 U}{\partial y^2} + \frac{\partial^2 U}{\partial z^2} = 0,
(1-x^2)y'' + ( \beta-\alpha - (\alpha + \beta + 2)x )y'+ n(n+\alpha+\beta+1) y = 0.\,
</math>
</math>


where  U(x,y,z) can be extended in spatial directions till one encounters a singularity or till U(x,y,z) vanishes.  
===Recurrent relation===
 
The [[Orthogonal polynomials#Recurrence relations|recurrent relation]] for the Jacobi polynomials is<ref name=sz/>:
 
:<math>\begin{align}
&2n (n + \alpha + \beta) (2n + \alpha + \beta - 2)
    P_n^{(\alpha,\beta)}(z) \\
&\qquad= (2n+\alpha + \beta-1) \Big\{ (2n+\alpha + \beta)(2n+\alpha+\beta-2) z
    +  \alpha^2 - \beta^2 \Big\} P_{n-1}^{(\alpha,\beta)}(z) \\
&\qquad\qquad - 2 (n+\alpha - 1) (n + \beta-1) (2n+\alpha + \beta)
    P_{n-2}^{(\alpha,\beta)}(z)~, \quad n = 2,3,\dots
\end{align}</math>
 
===Generating function===
 
The [[generating function]] of the Jacobi polynomials is given by
 
:<math> \sum_{n=0}^\infty P_n^{(\alpha,\beta)}(z) w^n
= 2^{\alpha + \beta} R^{-1} (1 - w + R)^{-\alpha} (1 + w + R)^{-\beta}~, </math>
 
where  
 
:<math> R = R(z, w) = \big(1 - 2zw + w^2\big)^{1/2}~, </math>
 
and the [[principal branch|branch]] of square root is chosen so that ''R''(''z'', 0) = 1.<ref name=sz/>
 
==Asymptotics of Jacobi polynomials==
 
For ''x'' in the interior of [-1, 1], the asymptotics of ''P''<sub>''n''</sub><sup>(''&alpha;'',''&beta;'')</sup> for large ''n'' is given by the Darboux formula<ref name=sz/>
 
:<math> P_n^{(\alpha,\beta)}(\cos \theta) = n^{-1/2} \cos (N\theta + \gamma) + O(n^{-3/2})~,</math>
 
where
 
:<math>\begin{align}
k(\theta) &= \pi^{-1/2} \sin^{-\alpha-1/2} \frac{\theta}{2} \cos^{-\beta-1/2} \frac{\theta}{2}~,\\
N &= n + \frac{\alpha+\beta+1}{2}~,\\
\gamma &= - (\alpha + \frac{1}{2}) \frac{\pi}{2}~,
\end{align} </math>
 
and the "''O''" term is uniform on the interval [''&epsilon;'', {{pi}}-''&epsilon;''] for every ''&epsilon;''>0.
 
The asymptotics of the Jacobi polynomials near the points ±1 is given by the [[Mehler&ndash;Heine formula]]
 
:<math>\begin{align}
\lim_{n \to \infty} n^{-\alpha}P_n^{\alpha,\beta}\left(\cos \frac{z}{n}\right)
&= \left(\frac{z}{2}\right)^{-\alpha} J_\alpha(z)~,\\
\lim_{n \to \infty} n^{-\beta}P_n^{\alpha,\beta}\left(\cos \left[ \pi - \frac{z}{n} \right] \right)
&= \left(\frac{z}{2}\right)^{-\beta} J_\beta(z)~,
\end{align}</math>
 
where the limits are uniform for ''z'' in a bounded [[Domain (mathematical analysis)|domain]].
 
The asymptotics outside [-1, 1] is less explicit.
 
==Applications==
===Wigner d-matrix===
The expression ({{EquationNote|1}}) allows the expression of the [[Wigner D-matrix#Wigner d-matrix|Wigner d-matrix]] ''d''<sup>''j''</sup><sub>''m''’,''m''</sub>(''&phi;'') (for 0 ≤ ''&phi;'' ≤ 4{{pi}}) in terms of Jacobi polynomials:<ref>{{cite book|last=Biedenharn|first=L.C.|last2=Louck|first2=J.D.|title=Angular Momentum in Quantum Physics|publisher=Addison-Wesley|location=Reading|year=1981}}</ref>


It was later shown by Hartle and Hawking<ref name = hartle-hawking>{{cite journal| last = Hawking| first = Hartle| authorlink = | title = Solutions of the Einstein-Maxwell equations with many black holes| journal = [[Communications in Mathematical Physics]]| volume = 26| issue =2 | pages =87–101| year =1972 |doi=10.1007/BF01645696| last2 = Hawking| first2 = S. W. |bibcode = 1972CMaPh..26...87H }}</ref> that these solutions can be "glued" together to construct multi-blackhole solutions of charged blackholes. These charged blackholes are in static equilibrium with each other with the gravitational and the electrostatic forces canceling each other out. The Majumdar–Papapetrou solution, thus, can be seen as early example of [[Bogomol'nyi-Prasad-Sommerfield bound|BPS]] configuration where static equilibrium results due to the cancellation of opposing forces.  Examples of such BPS configurations include  [[cosmic strings]] (attractive gravitational force balances with the repulsive scalar force), [[Magnetic monopole|monopoles]], BPS configurations of [[D-branes]] (cancellation of NS-NS and RR forces, NS-NS being the gravitational force and RR being the generalization of the electrostatic force), etc.
:<math>\begin{align}
&d^j_{m'm}(\phi) =\left[
\frac{(j+m)!(j-m)!}{(j+m')!(j-m')!}\right]^{1/2} \\
&\qquad\times
\left(\sin\frac{\phi}{2}\right)^{m-m'}
\left(\cos\frac{\phi}{2}\right)^{m+m'}
P_{j-m}^{(m-m',m+m')}(\cos \phi).
\end{align}</math>


==Electrodynamics of crystalline media and the Cherenkov Effect==

During the fifties, there was a resurgence of interest in the [[Cherenkov effect]] both in its experimental and theoretical aspects. Professor Majumdar was fascinated by the problem, because it was perhaps the only classical electrodynamical derivation that fetched Nobel prizes in a world dominated by the Quantum. As was usual with him, he approached the problem in an absolutely novel way.<ref name = sdm-cherenkov-1>{{cite journal| last = Majumdar| first = S D |  authorlink = | title = Cherenkov Radiation in Anisotropic Media| journal = [[Proceedings of the Royal Society A]]| volume = 316 | issue = 1527| pages =525–537| year =1970 |doi=10.1098/rspa.1970.0094| last2 = Pal| first2 = R. }}</ref><ref name = sdm-cherenkov-2>{{cite journal| last = Majumdar| first = S D |  authorlink = | title = Cherenkov Radiation in Biaxial Crystals – I| journal = [[Annals of Physics]]| volume = 76 | issue = 2| pages =419–427| year =1973| last2 = Pal| first2 = R. |bibcode = 1973AnPhy..76..419D |doi = 10.1016/0003-4916(73)90041-9 }}</ref><ref name = sdm-cherenkov-3>{{cite journal| last = Majumdar| first = S D |  authorlink = | title = Cherenkov Radiation in Biaxial Crystals – II| journal = [[Annals of Physics]]| volume = 76 | issue = 2| pages =428–436| year =1973|bibcode = 1973AnPhy..76..428D |doi = 10.1016/0003-4916(73)90042-0 }}</ref> Instead of studying the Cherenkov radiation field in the rest frame of the medium through which the charged particle whizzes by, he decided to jump to the rest frame of the charge. The great advantage of this approach is that the electromagnetic field becomes static and can be described by just two scalar potentials, which was a totally new formulation of the problem. However, the flowing medium now acquires a complicated magneto-electric character. This however came as a blessing in disguise, because it led to a discovery in the electrodynamics of crystalline media. Majumdar found that a most general doubly anisotropic medium with tensor permittivity and tensor permeability with non-parallel principal axes could sometimes behave like an 'isotropic' or 'uniaxial' medium as far as the structure of the Fresnel wave surface is concerned. Armed with this insight and his new formulation of the problem, he derived, for the first time, a closed expression for the Cherenkov output in a biaxial crystal in terms of [[elliptic functions]].

==Theory of group representations==
==Further reading==


Professor Majumdar's work on group theory has its origins in one of his early papers on [[molecular spectroscopy]] where a novel method for deriving the [[Clebsch-Gordan series]] and coefficients of [[SU(2)]] was discussed. The new approach made it possible to establish a connection between the [[Clebsch-Gordan Coefficients]] (CGC) and the Gauss [[hypergeometric function]] which was eventually identified as the generating function of the CGC.<ref name = sdm-su3-1>{{cite journal| last = Majumdar| first = S D | authorlink = | title = On the representations of the group SU(3)| journal = [[Journal of Physics A]]| volume = 1| issue = 2| pages =203| year =1968| doi = 10.1088/0305-4470/1/2/304|bibcode = 1968JPhA....1..203M }}</ref><ref name = sdm-su3-2>{{cite journal| last = Majumdar| first = S D | authorlink = | title = Some results on the groups SU(2) and SU(3)| journal = [[Progress in Theoretical Physics]]| volume = 38| issue = 5| pages =1176| year =1967|doi=10.1143/PTP.38.1176 |bibcode = 1967PThPh..38.1176M }}</ref><ref name = sdm-su3-3>{{cite journal| last = Majumdar| first = S D | authorlink = | title = The Clebsch-Gordan coefficients of SU(3) and the orthogonalization problem| journal = [[Journal of Mathematical Physics]]| volume = 14| issue = 9| pages =1248| year =1973| doi = 10.1063/1.1666474|bibcode = 1973JMP....14.1248D }}</ref> The Majumdar form of the CGC of SU(2) has appeared in acclaimed textbooks. Barut and Wilson have extensively investigated the symmetry properties of the three non-trivial forms of the CGC, namely, the [[Wigner-Racah]], the van der Waerden and the Majumdar form. The success of the above approach for SU(2) inspired Majumdar to extend his method and obtain a similar reduction for SU(3). The SU(3) generators were expressed as differential operators in four independent variables. In terms of these, the eigenvalue equation of the quadratic [[Casimir operator]] became a partial differential equation in four independent variables, the polynomial solutions of which, form the bases of an irreducible representation of [[SU(3)]].

The forms of the new operators made apparent the fact that the basis states of  an irreducible representation of SU(3)are linear combinations of the CG series of SU(2) with the same value of j, m and j1 – j2. Obtaining the SU(2) basis for SU(3) was thereby shown to be closely related to the theory of coupling of two angular momenta. The basic states of SU(3) were later used in deriving the matrix elements of finite transformations of SU(3). Simple analytic continuation of Majumdar's generating function of the SU(2) CGC was later understood to be the 'master function' for the solution of several problems of non-compact groups such as SU(1,1) and SL(2,C). The interpretation and domain of the complex variables, however, change from case to case. For example, in the representation theory of [[SL(2,C)]] these represent a pair of complex numbers i.e. spinors transforming according to the fundamental representation of SL(2,C) and the complex conjugate respectively. On the other hand, for the CG problem of SU(1,1), they transform according to two distinct SU(1,1) groups.

Revision as of 11:04, 18 August 2014

28 year-old Painting Investments Worker Truman from Regina, usually spends time with pastimes for instance interior design, property developers in new launch ec Singapore and writing. Last month just traveled to City of the Renaissance. In mathematics, Jacobi polynomials (occasionally called hypergeometric polynomials) are a class of classical orthogonal polynomials. They are orthogonal with respect to the weight

(1x)α(1+x)β

on the interval [-1, 1]. The Gegenbauer polynomials, and thus also the Legendre and Chebyshev polynomials, are special cases of the Jacobi polynomials.[1]

The Jacobi polynomials were introduced by Carl Gustav Jacob Jacobi.

Definitions

Via the hypergeometric function

The Jacobi polynomials are defined via the hypergeometric function as follows[2]:

Pn(α,β)(z)=(α+1)nn!2F1(n,1+α+β+n;α+1;1z2),

where (α+1)n is Pochhammer's symbol (for the rising factorial). In this case, the series for the hypergeometric function is finite, therefore one obtains the following equivalent expression:

Pn(α,β)(z)=Γ(α+n+1)n!Γ(α+β+n+1)m=0n(nm)Γ(α+β+n+m+1)Γ(α+m+1)(z12)m.

Rodrigues' formula

An equivalent definition is given by Rodrigues' formula[1][3]:

Pn(α,β)(z)=(1)n2nn!(1z)α(1+z)βdndzn{(1z)α(1+z)β(1z2)n}.

Alternate expression for real argument

For real x the Jacobi polynomial can alternatively be written as

Pn(α,β)(x)=s(n+αs)(n+βns)(x12)ns(x+12)s

where s ≥ 0 and n-s ≥ 0, and for integer n

(zn)=Γ(z+1)Γ(n+1)Γ(zn+1),

and Γ(z) is the Gamma function, using the convention that:

(zn)=0forn<0.

In the special case that the four quantities n, n+α, n+β, and n+α+β are nonnegative integers, the Jacobi polynomial can be written as

Template:NumBlk

The sum extends over all integer values of s for which the arguments of the factorials are nonnegative.

Basic properties

Orthogonality

The Jacobi polynomials satisfy the orthogonality condition

11(1x)α(1+x)βPm(α,β)(x)Pn(α,β)(x)dx=2α+β+12n+α+β+1Γ(n+α+1)Γ(n+β+1)Γ(n+α+β+1)n!δnm

for α > -1 and β > -1.

As defined, they are not orthonormal, the normalization being

Pn(α,β)(1)=(n+αn).

Symmetry relation

The polynomials have the symmetry relation

Pn(α,β)(z)=(1)nPn(β,α)(z);

thus the other terminal value is

Pn(α,β)(1)=(1)n(n+βn).

Derivatives

The kth derivative of the explicit expression leads to

dkdzkPn(α,β)(z)=Γ(α+β+n+1+k)2kΓ(α+β+n+1)Pnk(α+k,β+k)(z).

Differential equation

The Jacobi polynomial Pn(α, β) is a solution of the second order linear homogeneous differential equation[1]

(1x2)y+(βα(α+β+2)x)y+n(n+α+β+1)y=0.

Recurrent relation

The recurrent relation for the Jacobi polynomials is[1]:

2n(n+α+β)(2n+α+β2)Pn(α,β)(z)=(2n+α+β1){(2n+α+β)(2n+α+β2)z+α2β2}Pn1(α,β)(z)2(n+α1)(n+β1)(2n+α+β)Pn2(α,β)(z),n=2,3,

Generating function

The generating function of the Jacobi polynomials is given by

n=0Pn(α,β)(z)wn=2α+βR1(1w+R)α(1+w+R)β,

where

R=R(z,w)=(12zw+w2)1/2,

and the branch of square root is chosen so that R(z, 0) = 1.[1]

Asymptotics of Jacobi polynomials

For x in the interior of [-1, 1], the asymptotics of Pn(α,β) for large n is given by the Darboux formula[1]

Pn(α,β)(cosθ)=n1/2cos(Nθ+γ)+O(n3/2),

where

k(θ)=π1/2sinα1/2θ2cosβ1/2θ2,N=n+α+β+12,γ=(α+12)π2,

and the "O" term is uniform on the interval [ε, Potter or Ceramic Artist Harry Rave from Cobden, spends time with hobbies for instance magic, property developers house in singapore singapore and fitness. Finds inspiration through travel and just spent 7 months at Keoladeo National Park.-ε] for every ε>0.

The asymptotics of the Jacobi polynomials near the points ±1 is given by the Mehler–Heine formula

limnnαPnα,β(coszn)=(z2)αJα(z),limnnβPnα,β(cos[πzn])=(z2)βJβ(z),

where the limits are uniform for z in a bounded domain.

The asymptotics outside [-1, 1] is less explicit.

Applications

That is the place your good religion deposit will likely be taken into account and will kind part or all of your security deposit. Anticipate to have a proportionate amount deducted out of your deposit if something is discovered to be damaged if you move out. It's best to you'll want to test the inventory drawn up by the owner, which can detail all objects in the property and their condition. If you happen to fail to notice any harm not already mentioned within the inventory before transferring in, you danger having to pay for it yourself.

    In case you are in search of an actual estate or Singapore property agent on-line, you simply should belief your intuition. It's because you do not know which agent is nice and which agent will not be. Carry out research on several brokers by looking out the internet. As soon as if you end up positive that a selected agent is dependable and reliable, you can choose to utilize his partnerise in finding you a home in Singapore. Most of the time, a property agent is taken into account to be good if he or she locations the contact data on his website. This may mean that the agent does not mind you calling them and asking them any questions relating to new properties in singapore in Singapore. After chatting with them you too can see them in their office after taking an appointment.

    Have handed an trade examination i.e Widespread Examination for House Brokers (CEHA) or Actual Property Agency (REA) examination, or equal; Exclusive brokers are extra keen to share listing information thus making certain the widest doable coverage inside the real estate community via Multiple Listings and Networking. Accepting a severe provide is simpler since your agent is totally conscious of all advertising activity related with your property. This reduces your having to check with a number of agents for some other offers. Price control is easily achieved.

    Once you place down the one per cent choice price to carry down a non-public property, it's important to accept its situation as it is whenever you move in – faulty air-con, choked rest room and all. Get round this by asking your agent to incorporate a ultimate inspection clause within the possibility-to-buy letter. HDB flat patrons routinely take pleasure in this security net. "There's a ultimate inspection of the property two days before the completion of all HDB transactions. If the air-con is defective, you can request the seller to repair it," says Kelvin.

    15.6.1 As the agent is an intermediary, generally, as soon as the principal and third party are introduced right into a contractual relationship, the agent drops out of the image, subject to any problems with remuneration or indemnification that he could have against the principal, and extra exceptionally, against the third occasion. Generally, agents are entitled to be indemnified for all liabilities reasonably incurred within the execution of the brokers´ authority.

    To achieve the very best outcomes, you must be always updated on market situations, including past transaction information and reliable projections. You could review and examine comparable homes that are currently available in the market, especially these which have been sold or not bought up to now six months. You'll be able to see a pattern of such report by clicking here It's essential to defend yourself in opposition to unscrupulous patrons.
