A Note on the Orthogonality Properties of the Pseudo-Chebyshev Functions

Abstract

A novel class of pseudo-Chebyshev functions has been recently introduced, and the relevant analytical properties in terms of governing differential equation, recurrence formulae, and orthogonality have been analyzed in detail for half-integer degrees. In this paper, the previous studies are extended to the general case of rational degree. In particular, it is shown that the orthogonality properties of the pseudo-Chebyshev functions do not hold any longer.
