In mathematics, Jacobi polynomials (occasionally called hypergeometric polynomials)
are a class of classical orthogonal polynomials. They are orthogonal with respect to the weight
on the interval
. The Gegenbauer polynomials, and thus also the Legendre, Zernike and Chebyshev polynomials, are special cases of the Jacobi polynomials.[1]
The Jacobi polynomials were introduced by Carl Gustav Jacob Jacobi.
