Abstract

Using the theory of orthogonal polynomials, their associated recursion relations and differential formulas we develop a new method for evaluating integrals that include orthogonal polynomials. The method is illustrated by obtaining the following integral result that involves the Bessel function and associated Laguerre polynomial: {Mathematical expression} where μ and ν are real parameters such that μ ≥ 0 and ν > - frac(1, 2), cos θ = frac(μ2 - 1 / 4, μ2 + 1 / 4), and Cnλ (x) is a Gegenbauer (ultraspherical) polynomial.
