Sums of finite products of Chebyshev polynomials of two different types

Abstract

In this paper, we consider sums of finite products of the second and third type Chebyshev polynomials, those of the second and fourth type Chebyshev polynomials and those of the third and fourth type Chebyshev polynomials, and represent each of them as linear combinations of Chebyshev polynomials of all types. Here the coefficients involve some terminating hypergeometric functions $ {}_{2}F_{1} $. This problem can be viewed as a generalization of the classical linearization problems and is done by explicit computations.
