On the Rodrigues’ Formula Approach to Operator Factorization (2012)
Journal Article
Robin, W. (2012). On the Rodrigues’ Formula Approach to Operator Factorization. International Mathematical Forum, 7(45-48), 2333-2351

In this paper, we derive general formulae that reproduce well-known instances of recurrence relations for the classical orthogonal polynomials as special cases. These recurrence relations are derived, using only elementary mathematics, directly from... Read More about On the Rodrigues’ Formula Approach to Operator Factorization.
