On symmetric differential operators associated with Sobolev orthogonal polynomials: A characterization. (English) Zbl 0980.42018

Authors’ abstract: “Given the Sobolev bilinear form \[ (f,g)_S=\langle u_0, fg\rangle + \langle u_1, f'g'\rangle , \] with \(u_0\) and \(u_1\) linear functionals, a characterization of the linear second-order differential operators with polynomial coefficients, symmetric with respect to \(( \cdot , \cdot)_S\) in terms of \(u_0\) and \(u_1\) is obtained. In particular, several interesting functionals \(u_0\) and \(u_1\) are considered, recovering as particular cases of our study, results already known in the literature”.
