Theory and Modern Applications

On the Chebyshev polynomials and some of their new identities

Abstract

The main purpose of this paper is, using the elementary methods and properties of the power series, to study the computational problem of the convolution sums of Chebyshev polynomials and Fibonacci polynomials and to give some new and interesting identities for them.

1 Introduction

For any integer \(n\geq 0\), the famous Chebyshev polynomial of the first kind \(\{T_{n}(x)\}\) is defined as follows:

$$\begin{aligned} T_{n+2}(x)=2x T_{n+1}(x)- T_{n}(x) \quad\text{for all integers } n \geq 0, \text{ with } T_{0}(x)=1, T_{1}(x)=x. \end{aligned}$$

Let \(\alpha =x+\sqrt{x^{2}-1}\) and \(\beta =x-\sqrt{x^{2}-1}\) be two characteristic roots of the equation \(\lambda ^{2}-2x\lambda +1=0\), then we have (see [1] and [2])

$$\begin{aligned} T_{n}(x)=\frac{1}{2} \bigl(\alpha ^{n}+ \beta ^{n} \bigr), \qquad U_{n}(x)=\frac{\alpha ^{n+1}-\beta ^{n+1}}{\delta -\beta },\quad n=0, 1, 2, \ldots, \end{aligned}$$
(1)

where \(\{U_{n}(x)\}\) is Chebyshev polynomial of the second kind with \(U_{0}(x)=1\) and \(U_{1}(x)=2x\). The generating functions of \(T_{n}(x)\) and \(U_{n}(x)\) are

$$\begin{aligned} \frac{1-xt}{1-2xt+t^{2}}=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty }T_{n}(x) \cdot t^{n} \quad\text{and}\quad \frac{1}{1-2xt+t^{2}}=\sum _{n=0}^{\infty }U_{n}(x)\cdot t^{n}. \end{aligned}$$
(2)

For convenience, we also extend the recursive properties of \(T_{n}(x)\) and \(U_{n}(x)\) in (1) to all negative integers.

We all know that the polynomials \(T_{n}(x)\) and \(U_{n}(x)\) play important roles in the study of orthogonality of functions and approximation theory, so many scholars have studied their properties and obtained a series of valuable research results. In particular, in the references we have seen that Kim and his team have done a lot of important research work (see [311]), and Cesarano (see [1214]) has also made a lot of contributions. Some other papers related to these polynomials and sequences can be found in references [2, 1529]. For example, Zhang Wenpeng [17] studied the calculating problem of the convolution sums of \(T_{n}(x)\) and proved the following:

$$\begin{aligned} &\sum_{a_{1}+a_{2}+\cdots +a_{k+1}=n+k+1}T_{a_{1}}(x)\cdot T_{a_{2}}(x) \cdot T_{a_{3}}(x)\cdots T_{a_{k+1}}(x) \\ &\quad =\frac{1}{2^{k}\cdot k!}\sum_{h=0}^{k+1}(-x)^{h} \binom{k+1}{h}U _{n+2k+1-h}^{(k)}(x), \end{aligned}$$

where \(\sum_{a_{1}+a_{2}+\cdots +a_{k+1}=n}\) denotes that the summation is taken over all \((k+1)\)-dimension nonnegative integer coordinates \((a_{1}, a_{2}, \ldots, a_{k+1})\) such that \(a_{1}+a_{2}+\cdots +a _{k}+a_{k+1}=n\), \(U_{n}^{(k)}(x)\) denotes the kth derivative of \(U_{n}(x)\) with respect to x.

Zhang Yixue and Chen Zhuoyu [18] proved the following result:

$$\begin{aligned} & \sum_{a_{1}+a_{2}+\cdots +a_{h+1}=n}U_{a_{1}}(x)U_{a_{2}}(x) \cdots U_{a_{h+1}}(x) \\ &\quad = \frac{1}{2^{h}\cdot h!}\cdot \sum_{j=1}^{h} \frac{C(h,j)}{x^{2h-j}}\sum_{i=0}^{n} \frac{(n-i+j)!}{(n-i)!}\cdot \binom{2h+i-j-1}{i}\cdot \frac{U_{n-i+j}(x)}{x^{i}}, \end{aligned}$$

where \(C(h,i)\) is a second-order nonlinear recurrence sequence defined by \(C(h, 0)=0\), \(C(h,h)=1\), \(C(h+1, 1)=1\cdot 3\cdot 5\cdots (2h-1)=(2h-1)!!\), and \(C(h+1, i+1)=(2h-1-i) \cdot C(h, i+1)+ C(h,i)\) for all \(1\leq i\leq h-1\).

Obviously the results in [17, 18], and [21] do not look very concise and clear. It is even harder to calculate their exact values. Inspired by these papers, we also became interested in such problems and used different methods to come up with simpler, more beautiful identities. That is, we use the elementary methods and the properties of the power series to prove the following conclusions:

Theorem 1

For any integers\(k\geq 2\)and\(n\geq 0\), we have the identity

$$\begin{aligned} &\sum_{a_{1}+a_{2}+\cdots +a_{k}=n}T_{a_{1}}(x)\cdot T_{a_{2}}(x) \cdot T_{a_{3}}(x)\cdots T_{a_{k}}(x)\\ &\quad = \frac{1}{2^{k-1}} \binom{n+k-1}{k-1}T_{n}(x) \\ &\qquad{} +\frac{1}{2^{k}} \sum_{i=0}^{n} \Biggl(\sum_{h=1}^{k-1}\binom{k}{h} \binom{i+h-1}{h-1}\binom{n-i+k-h-1}{k-h-1} \Biggr)\cdot T_{n-2i}(x). \end{aligned}$$

Theorem 2

For any integer\(k\geq 2\)and integer\(n\geq 0\), we have

$$\begin{aligned} &\sum_{a_{1}+a_{2}+\cdots +a_{k}=n}U_{a_{1}} (x )\cdot U _{a_{2}} (x )\cdot U_{a_{3}} (x )\cdots U_{a _{k}} (x ) \\ &\quad =\sum_{i=0}^{n}\binom{i+k-1}{k-1} \binom{n-i+k-1}{k-1}\cdot T_{n-2i}(x). \end{aligned}$$

For Lucas polynomials \(L_{n+2}(x)=xL_{n+1}(x)+L_{n}(x)\) with \(L_{0}(x)=2\), \(L_{1}(x)=x\) and Fibonacci polynomials \(F_{n+2}=xF_{n+1}+F _{n}(x)\) with \(F_{0}(x)=0\) and \(F_{1}(x)=1\), we can also deduce the following corresponding results:

Theorem 3

For any positive integer\(k\geq 2\)and integer\(n\geq 0\), we have

$$\begin{aligned} &\sum_{a_{1}+a_{2}+\cdots +a_{k}=n}L_{a_{1}}(x)\cdot L_{a_{2}}(x) \cdots L_{a_{k}}(x)\\ &\quad =\binom{n+k-1}{k-1}\cdot L_{n}(x) \\ &\qquad{}+\frac{1}{2}\sum_{i=0}^{n}(-1)^{i} \cdot \Biggl(\sum_{h=1}^{k-1} \binom{k}{h}\binom{i+h-1}{h-1}\binom{n-i+k-h-1}{k-h-1} \Biggr)L_{n-2i}(x). \end{aligned}$$

Theorem 4

For any positive integer\(k\geq 2\)and integer\(n\geq 0\), we have

$$\begin{aligned} &\sum_{a_{1}+a_{2}+\cdots +a_{k}=n}F_{a_{1}}(x)\cdot F_{a_{2}}(x) \cdot F_{a_{3}}(x)\cdots F_{a_{k}}(x) \\ &\quad =\sum_{i=0}^{n}(-1)^{i} \binom{i+k-1}{k-1}\binom{n-i+k-1}{k-1} L_{n-2i}(x). \end{aligned}$$

Note the identity \(L_{n}(x)=F_{n+1}(x)+F_{n-1}(x)\), it is clear that our Theorem 4 is much simpler than the corresponding identity in Ma Yuankui and Zhang Wenpeng [20]. Taking \(k=3, 4\) or \(k=5\) with \(x=1\), from Theorems 2 and 4 we can deduce the following four corollaries:

Corollary 1

For any integer\(n\geq 0\), we have the identity

$$\begin{aligned} &\sum_{a+b+c+d=n}U_{a}(x)\cdot U_{b}(x)\cdot U_{c}(x)\cdot U_{d}(x) \\ &\quad = \frac{1}{36}\sum_{i=0}^{n}(i+1) (i+2) (i+3) (n-i+1) (n-i+2) (n-i+3) \cdot T_{n-2i}(x). \end{aligned}$$

Corollary 2

For any integer\(n\geq 0\), we have the identity

$$\begin{aligned} &\sum_{a+b+c=n}F_{a}(x)\cdot F_{b}(x)\cdot F_{c}(x) \\ &\quad = \frac{1}{4}\sum_{i=0}^{n}(-1)^{i}(i+1) (i+2) (n-i+1) (n-i+2)\cdot L _{n-2i}(x). \end{aligned}$$

Corollary 3

For any integer\(n\geq 0\), we have the identity

$$\begin{aligned} &\sum_{a+b+c+d=n}F_{a}(x)\cdot F_{b}(x)\cdot F_{c}(x)\cdot F_{d}(x) \\ &\quad = \frac{1}{36}\sum_{i=0}^{n}(-1)^{i}(i+1) (i+2) (i+3) (n-i+1) (n-i+2) (n-i+3) L _{n-2i}(x). \end{aligned}$$

Corollary 4

For any integer\(n\geq 0\), we have the identity

$$\begin{aligned} \sum_{a+b+c+d+e=n}F_{a+1}\cdot F_{b+1} \cdot F_{c+1}\cdot F_{d+1} \cdot F_{e+1} = \sum _{i=0}^{n}(-1)^{i} \binom{i+4}{4}\binom{n-i+4}{4} L_{n-2i}. \end{aligned}$$

For any nonnegative integers m and n, note that \(T_{m} (T _{n}(x) )=T_{mn}(x)\). From Theorem 1 we can also deduce the following:

Corollary 5

For any integers\(k\geq 2\)and\(m\geq 0\), we have the identity

$$\begin{aligned} &\sum_{a_{1}+a_{2}+\cdots +a_{k}=n}T_{ma_{1}}(x)\cdot T_{ma_{2}}(x) \cdot T_{ma_{3}}(x)\cdots T_{ma_{k}}(x)\\ &\quad = \frac{1}{2^{k-1}} \binom{n+k-1}{k-1}T_{mn}(x) \\ & \qquad{}+\frac{1}{2^{k}} \sum_{i=0}^{n} \Biggl(\sum_{h=1}^{k-1}\binom{k}{h} \binom{i+h-1}{h-1}\binom{n-i+k-h-1}{k-h-1} \Biggr)\cdot T_{m(n-2i)}(x). \end{aligned}$$

Some notes: It is worth noting that Theorem 1 has been obtained by different methods in equation (29) of [9], but the expression is different from our result. In fact equation (29) in [9] involved the Gauss hypergeometric function, so it looks a little bit more complicated, and our Theorem 1 is simple and straightforward. Theorem 2 has been obtained by different methods in (1.30) of [3].

2 Proofs of the theorems

Now we prove our main results directly. First, we will prove Theorem 1. From the generating function (2) of \(T_{n}(x)\), we have

$$\begin{aligned} \frac{1}{2} \biggl[\frac{1}{1-\alpha t}+ \frac{1}{1-\beta t} \biggr]=\frac{1-xt}{1-2xt+t ^{2}}=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty }T_{n}(x) \cdot t^{n}. \end{aligned}$$
(3)

So, for any positive integer \(k\geq 2\), from (3) and the properties of the power series, we have the identity

$$\begin{aligned} \frac{1}{2^{k}} \biggl[\frac{1}{1-\alpha t}+ \frac{1}{1-\beta t} \biggr] ^{k}= \sum_{n=0}^{\infty } \biggl(\sum_{a_{1}+a_{2}+\cdots +a_{k}=n}T _{a_{1}}(x)\cdot T_{a_{2}}(x)\cdots T_{a_{k}}(x) \biggr)\cdot t^{n}. \end{aligned}$$
(4)

On the other hand, note the power series

$$\begin{aligned} \frac{1}{(1- x)^{k}}=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty } \binom{n+k-1}{k-1}\cdot x ^{n},\quad \vert x \vert < 1. \end{aligned}$$
(5)

For any positive integers r and h, we have

$$\begin{aligned} &\frac{1}{(1-\alpha t)^{r} (1-\beta t)^{h}} \\ &\quad = \Biggl(\sum_{n=0}^{ \infty } \binom{n+r-1}{r-1}\alpha ^{n} t^{n} \Biggr) \Biggl(\sum _{n=0} ^{\infty }\binom{n+h-1}{h-1}\beta ^{n} t^{n} \Biggr) \\ &\quad=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty } \Biggl(\sum _{i=0}^{n}\binom{i+r-1}{r-1} \binom{n-i+h-1}{h-1}\cdot \alpha ^{i}\cdot \beta ^{n-i} \Biggr) \cdot t ^{n} \\ &\quad =\sum_{n=0}^{\infty } \Biggl(\sum _{i=0}^{n}\binom{i+r-1}{r-1} \binom{n-i+h-1}{h-1}\cdot \beta ^{n-2i} \Biggr) \cdot t^{n}, \end{aligned}$$
(6)

where \(\alpha \cdot \beta =1\).

From (6) and the definition of \(T_{n}(x)\), we have

$$\begin{aligned} &\frac{1}{2} \biggl[\frac{1}{(1-\alpha t)^{r} (1-\beta t)^{h}}+\frac{1}{(1- \alpha t)^{h} (1-\beta t)^{r}} \biggr] \\ &\quad=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty } \Biggl(\sum _{i=0}^{n}\binom{i+r-1}{r-1} \binom{n-i+h-1}{h-1}\cdot \frac{1}{2} \bigl(\alpha ^{n-2i}+\beta ^{n-2i} \bigr) \Biggr) \cdot t^{n} \\ &\quad=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty } \Biggl(\sum _{i=0}^{n}\binom{i+r-1}{r-1} \binom{n-i+h-1}{h-1}\cdot T_{n-2i}(x) \Biggr) \cdot t^{n}. \end{aligned}$$
(7)

From (5), (7), the definition and properties of the binomial, we have

$$\begin{aligned} & \biggl(\frac{1}{1-\alpha t}+ \frac{1}{1-\beta t} \biggr)^{k} \\ &\quad =\sum_{h=0}^{k} \binom{k}{h}\frac{1}{(1-\alpha t)^{h}}\cdot \frac{1}{(1- \beta t)^{k-h}} \\ &\quad=\frac{1}{(1-\alpha t)^{k}}+\frac{1}{ (1-\beta t)^{k}} \\ &\qquad{}+\frac{1}{2} \sum _{h=1}^{k-1} \biggl( \frac{\binom{k}{h}}{(1-\alpha t)^{h}(1-\beta t)^{k-h}}+ \frac{\binom{k}{h}}{(1-\alpha t)^{k-h}(1-\beta t)^{h}} \biggr) \\ &\quad =\sum_{h=1}^{k-1}\binom{k}{h}\sum _{n=0}^{\infty } \Biggl(\sum _{i=0} ^{n}\binom{i+h-1}{h-1}\binom{n-i+k-h-1}{k-h-1}\cdot T_{n-2i}(x) \Biggr) \cdot t^{n} \\ &\qquad{}+ 2\sum_{n=0}^{\infty }\binom{n+k-1}{k-1}\cdot T_{n}(x)\cdot t^{n} \\ &\quad=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty } \Biggl(\sum _{h=1}^{k-1}\binom{k}{h} \Biggl(\sum _{i=0} ^{n}\binom{i+h-1}{h-1}\binom{n-i+k-h-1}{k-h-1}\cdot T_{n-2i}(x) \Biggr) \Biggr)\cdot t^{n} \\ &\qquad{}+2\sum_{n=0}^{\infty }\binom{n+k-1}{k-1}\cdot T_{n}(x)\cdot t^{n}. \end{aligned}$$
(8)

Combining (4) and (8) and then comparing the coefficients of the power series, we have the identity

$$\begin{aligned} &\sum_{a_{1}+a_{2}+a_{3}+\cdots +a_{k}=n}T_{a_{1}}(x)\cdot T_{a_{2}}(x) \cdot T_{a_{3}}(x)\cdots T_{a_{k}}(x)\\ &\quad = \frac{1}{2^{k-1}}\cdot \binom{n+k-1}{k-1}\cdot T_{n}(x) \\ &\qquad{} +\frac{1}{2^{k}}\sum_{i=0}^{n} \Biggl( \sum_{h=1}^{k-1} \binom{k}{h} \binom{i+h-1}{h-1}\binom{n-i+k-h-1}{k-h-1} \Biggr)\cdot T _{n-2i}(x). \end{aligned}$$

This proves Theorem 1.

To prove Theorem 2, note that, for any positive integer k,

$$\begin{aligned} \frac{1}{(1-2xt+t^{2})^{k}}=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty } \biggl(\sum_{a_{1}+a_{2}+ \cdots +a_{k}=n}U_{a_{1}}(x)\cdot U_{a_{2}}(x)\cdots U_{a_{k}}(x) \biggr) \cdot t^{n}. \end{aligned}$$
(9)

From (5) and (9) we have

$$\begin{aligned} &\sum_{n=0}^{\infty } \biggl(\sum _{a_{1}+a_{2}+\cdots +a_{k}=n}U_{a _{1}}(x)\cdot U_{a_{2}}(x) \cdots U_{a_{k}}(x) \biggr)\cdot t^{n} \\ &\quad =\frac{1}{(1- \alpha t)^{k}\cdot (1-\beta t)^{k}} \\ &\quad = \Biggl(\sum_{n=0}^{\infty }\binom{n+k-1}{k-1} \cdot \alpha ^{n} \cdot t^{n} \Biggr)\cdot \Biggl(\sum _{n=0}^{\infty } \binom{n+k-1}{k-1}\cdot \beta ^{n}\cdot t^{n} \Biggr) \\ &\quad=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty } \Biggl(\sum _{i=0}^{n}\binom{i+k-1}{k-1} \binom{n-i+k-1}{k-1}\cdot \alpha ^{i}\cdot \beta ^{n-i} \Biggr)\cdot t ^{n} \\ &\quad=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty } \Biggl(\sum _{i=0}^{n}\binom{i+k-1}{k-1} \binom{n-i+k-1}{k-1}\cdot \beta ^{n-2i} \Biggr)\cdot t^{n} \\ &\quad =\frac{1}{2}\sum_{n=0}^{\infty } \Biggl( \sum_{i=0}^{n} \binom{i+k-1}{k-1} \binom{n-i+k-1}{k-1}\cdot \bigl( \alpha ^{n-2i}+ \beta ^{n-2i} \bigr) \Biggr)\cdot t^{n} \\ &\quad =\sum_{n=0}^{\infty } \Biggl(\sum _{i=0}^{n}\binom{i+k-1}{k-1} \binom{n-i+k-1}{k-1}\cdot T_{n-2i}(x) \Biggr)\cdot t^{n}. \end{aligned}$$
(10)

Comparing the coefficients of \(t^{n}\) in (10), we have the identity

$$\begin{aligned} &\sum_{a_{1}+a_{2}+\cdots +a_{k}=n}U_{a_{1}} (x )\cdot U _{a_{2}} (x )\cdot U_{a_{3}} (x )\cdots U_{a _{k}} (x ) \\ &\quad=\sum_{i=0}^{n}\binom{i+k-1}{k-1} \binom{n-i+k-1}{k-1}\cdot T_{n-2i}(x). \end{aligned}$$

This proves Theorem 2.

Let \(\gamma =\frac{x+\sqrt{x^{2}+4}}{2}\) and \(\delta =\frac{x-\sqrt{x ^{2}+4}}{2}\), then from the definition of \(L_{n}(x)\) we have \(L_{n}(x)=\gamma ^{n}+\delta ^{n}\) and

$$\begin{aligned} \frac{2-xt}{1-x t-t^{2}}=\frac{1}{1-\gamma t}+\frac{1}{1-\delta t}= \sum _{n=0}^{\infty }L_{n}(x)\cdot t^{n}. \end{aligned}$$
(11)

Note that \(\gamma \cdot \delta =-1\), from (5), (6), and the methods of proving Theorem 1, we have

$$\begin{aligned} &\sum_{n=0}^{\infty } \biggl(\sum _{a_{1}+a_{2}+\cdots +a_{k}=n}L_{a _{1}}(x)\cdot L_{a_{2}}(x) \cdots L_{a_{k}}(x) \biggr)\cdot t^{n} \\ &\quad = \biggl( \frac{1}{1-\gamma t}+\frac{1}{1-\delta t} \biggr)^{k} \\ &\quad =\frac{1}{(1-\gamma t)^{k}}+\frac{1}{(1-\delta t)^{k}}+\frac{1}{2} \sum _{h=1}^{k-1} \biggl(\frac{\binom{k}{h}}{(1-\gamma t)^{h}(1-\delta t)^{k-h}}+ \frac{\binom{k}{h}}{(1-\gamma t)^{k-h}(1-\delta t)^{h}} \biggr) \\ &\quad =\frac{1}{2}\sum_{n=0}^{\infty } \Biggl( \sum_{h=1}^{k-1}\binom{k}{h} \sum _{i=0}^{n}\binom{i+h-1}{h-1}\binom{n-i+k-h-1}{k-h-1} \cdot (-1)^{i} \cdot L_{n-2i}(x) \Biggr)\cdot t^{n} \\ &\qquad{}+ \sum_{n=0}^{\infty }\binom{n+k-1}{k-1} \bigl( \gamma ^{n}+\delta ^{n} \bigr)\cdot t^{n}. \end{aligned}$$
(12)

Comparing the coefficients of \(t^{n}\) in (12), we have

$$\begin{aligned} &\sum_{a_{1}+a_{2}+\cdots +a_{k}=n}L_{a_{1}}(x)\cdot L_{a_{2}}(x) \cdots L_{a_{k}}(x)\\ &\quad =\binom{n+k-1}{k-1}\cdot L_{n}(x) \\ &\qquad{}+\frac{1}{2}\sum_{i=0}^{n}(-1)^{i} \cdot \Biggl(\sum_{h=1}^{k-1} \binom{k}{h}\binom{i+h-1}{h-1}\binom{n-i+k-h-1}{k-h-1} \Biggr)L_{n-2i}(x). \end{aligned}$$

This proves Theorem 3.

Similarly, from the methods of proving Theorem 2, we can also deduce

$$\begin{aligned} &\sum_{a_{1}+a_{2}+\cdots +a_{k}=n}F_{a_{1}}(x)\cdot F_{a_{2}}(x) \cdot F_{a_{3}}(x)\cdots F_{a_{k}}(x) \\ &\quad =\sum_{i=0}^{n}(-1)^{i} \binom{i+k-1}{k-1}\binom{n-i+k-1}{k-1} L_{n-2i}(x). \end{aligned}$$

This completes the proofs of all our theorems.

3 Conclusion

The main results of this paper are four theorems and five corollaries. Theorem 1 established an identity for the convolution sums of Chebyshev polynomials of the first kind. This improved an early result in [17] and [21]. Theorem 2 simplified the identity in [18] and made it look more concise and beautiful. It must be noted that Theorem 1 and Theorem 2 appear in different forms in other references, such as [3] and [9]. From Theorem 3 and Theorem 4, we can get two corresponding results for Fibonacci polynomials and Lucas polynomials. In addition, in Theorem 4 we have improved a new result in [20]. The five corollaries are just some special cases of our four theorems. These results are actually new contributions to the study of the properties of Chebyshev polynomials and Fibonacci polynomials. Of course, the methods adopted in this paper have some good reference for further study of the properties of general second-order linear recursive sequences.
