Now in LaTeX hope it's ok (the preview sucks):
1. Homework Statement
given the integral
[tex]I_n(r,z)= \int_z^r \frac{T_n(\frac{p}{z})T_n(\frac{p}{r})}{p \sqrt{r^2-p^2} \sqrt{p^2-z^2}} dp[/tex]
where [tex]T_n(x)[/tex] is the chebyshev polynomial of the first kind:
[tex]T_n(x) = 2 x T_{n-1}(x) - T_{n-2}(x)[/tex]
[tex]T_0(x)=1[/tex]
[tex]T_1(x)=x[/tex]
Important detail -> [tex]0 < z < r < 1[/tex]
prove that:
[tex]I_{n+1} = I_{n-1}[/tex]
and
[tex]I_0 = I_1 = \frac{\pi}{2}[/tex]3. The Attempt at a Solution
[tex]I_0 = I_1 = \frac{\pi}{2}[/tex] is relatively simple. I just changed variables [tex]y= p^2[/tex] and let Mathematica do the rest.
The other proof if giving me a hard time.
Substituting the [tex]T_n(x) = 2 x T_{n-1}(x)- T_{n-2}(x)[/tex], I got:
[tex]I_{n+1}(r,z) = \int_z^r \frac{4p T_n(\frac{p}{z}) T_n(\frac{p}{r})} {\sqrt{r^2-p^2} \sqrt{p^2-z^2}} dp - [/tex]
[tex]- \int_z^r \frac{2r T_n(\frac{p}{z})T_{n-1}(\frac{p}{r})}{\sqrt{r^2-p^2} \sqrt{p^2-z^2}} dp -[/tex]
[tex]- \int_z^r\frac{2z T_{n-1}(\frac{p}{z}) T_n(\frac{p}{r})}{\sqrt{r^2-p^2} \sqrt{p^2-z^2}} dp + I_{n-1}(r,z)[/tex]
Now, the remainder integrals should be zero, but I can't figure out how to get there.
If it helps, I've found this relation:
[tex]xT_n(x) = \frac{1}{2}(T_{n+1}(x) + T_{n-1}(x))[/tex]
Any help will be very welcome!
