Abstract

We show that if v is a symmetric regular Laguerre-Hahn linear form (functional), then the linear form u defined by u=λx2v+δ0 is also regular and symmetric Laguerre-Hahn linear form for every complex λ except for a discrete set of numbers depending on v. We explicitly give the coefficients of the second-order recurrence relation, the structure relation of the orthogonal sequence associated with u, and the class of the linear form u knowing that of v. Finally, we apply the above results to the symmetric associated form of the first order for the classical polynomials.
