Student t orthogonal polynomials

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the derivation of Student-t orthogonal polynomials, specifically using the weight function (1 + t^2/v)^-(v+1)/2. The original poster struggles to derive a polynomial form similar to Gauss-Hermite polynomials. They request assistance in obtaining the Student-t polynomials for verification of their derivation. A formula for the orthogonal polynomials is provided, along with an integral condition for orthogonality. The conversation concludes with the poster expressing satisfaction upon resolving their query.

I've just read a paper that references the use of student-t orthogonal polynomials. I understand how the Gauss-Hermite polynomials are derived, however applying the same process to the weight function (1 + t^2/v)^-(v+1)/2 I can't quite get an answer that looks anything like a polynomial.

Would anyone be able to provide me with the student-t polynomials, which I can check my derivation against?

Thank you.

As far as I can remember you should end up with the prthogonal polynomials taking the form

/phi_{m}(t) = A_{m}/[1+/frac{t^{2}}{v}/]/frac{d^{m}}{dt^{m}}/[/frac{1}{1+/frac(t^{2}}{v}}^{/frac{v-1}{2}-m}/]

Then,

/int_{- /infty}^{+ /infty} /frac{1}{1+/frac{t^{2}}{v}}^{frac{v+1}{2}}/phi_{m}(t}/phi_{n}(t) dt=0

(hope all teX commands are in the right place!)
 
That's done the trick. Thank you.
 
I was reading documentation about the soundness and completeness of logic formal systems. Consider the following $$\vdash_S \phi$$ where ##S## is the proof-system making part the formal system and ##\phi## is a wff (well formed formula) of the formal language. Note the blank on left of the turnstile symbol ##\vdash_S##, as far as I can tell it actually represents the empty set. So what does it mean ? I guess it actually means ##\phi## is a theorem of the formal system, i.e. there is a...
