On the Direct Limit from Pseudo Jacobi Polynomials to Hermite Polynomials

Abstract

In this short communication, we present a new limit relation that reduces pseudo-Jacobi polynomials directly to Hermite polynomials. The proof of this limit relation is based upon 2F1-type hypergeometric transformation formulas, which are applicable to even and odd polynomials separately. This limit opens the way to studying new exactly solvable harmonic oscillator models in quantum mechanics in terms of pseudo-Jacobi polynomials.
