Turán's inequalities

Turán's inequalities

In mathematics, Turán's inequalities are some inequalities for Legendre polynomials found by harvs|txt=yes|first=Paul |last=Turán|authorlink=Paul Turán|year=1950 (and first published by harvtxt|Szegö|1948). There are many generalizations to other polynomials, also often called Turán's inequalities, given by harvs|id=MR|0040487

title=Recurrent determinants of Legendre and of ultraspherical polynomials
journal=Duke Math. J.|volume= 18|year=1951|pages= 1-10
and other authors.

If "P""n" is the "n"th Legendre polynomial, Turán's inequalities state that

:P_n(x)^2 > P_{n-1}(x)P_{n+1}(x) ext{ for }-1
