Abstract:
A sequence of polynomials generated by a cyclical Jacobi matrix is treated as a function of an integer argument, which is the order of the polynomials. Formulas for the sum and difference of the functions and
their arguments that generalize similar formulas for trigonometrical functions are constructed. An expression
for such sequences of polynomials with the use of Chebyshev polynomials of the second kind is obtained.
A divisibility formula for Chebyshev polynomials of the second kind is obtained. A solution of the inverse
problem for Chebyshev polynomials, i.e. a description of the corresponding functions of integer arguments by
using their properties is presented.
