Evaluation of a summation involving Hermite polynomials
I started with the the following four-variable function, $f(s,x,y,u)$, expressed as a summation involving the product of Hermite polynomials.
$f(s,x,y,u)=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{H_{n}(x)H_{n}(y)}{(n-...

How to integrate the multinomial over a ball in $\mathbb{R}^{n}$?
I got an interesting question. Consider this integral:
$$ \int_{B(0,1)}\bigg(\sum_{j=1}^{n}a_{j}x_{j}^2\bigg)^m \mbox{d}x, \quad m,n\in \mathbb{N}, \ a_{i}>0, \ i=1,2,\ldots,n.$$
It is clear that ...

Complex Hermite polynomial orthogonality on weighted space
Consider the "probabilist's" Hermite polynomials given by $$H_n(x)=(-1)^ne^{\frac{x^2}{2}}\partial_x^ne^{-\frac{x^2}{2}}.$$
These polynomials trivially extend to functions of $w\in\mathbb{C}$...

Poisson Summation Formula appears to fail when applied to Hermite Functions (why?) [duplicate]
I came across an odd circumstance where it appears as though the poisson summation formula fails to yield a correct answer (involving Hermite Functions), and I don't quite understand why this happens. ...

A special solution to the Hermite Differential Equation
I know that the general form solution to the Hermite differential equation
$$ y''-2xy'+2\lambda y=0$$
is
$$y(x)=a_1 M(-\frac{\lambda}{2},\frac{1}{2},x^2)+a_2 H(\lambda,x),$$
where $M(\cdot,\cdot,\cdot)...

Basis for $L^2(\mathbb{R})$ that Solves the Heat Equation
This is a less-than-serious question that I asked on math.SE, but I suspect it is slightly more appropriate to ask it here. Consider the heat equation $$
u_t = \frac12 u_{xx}
$$ On $\mathbb{T}$ with ...

Generating function for products of complex Hermite polynomials
By making use of the generating function
$$\sum_{m=0}^\infty \frac{H_m(x)}{m!} t^m=e^{-t^2 + 2xt} $$ for the real Hermite polynomials $H_m$, we get easily that
$$(*)\quad \sum_{m,n=0}^\infty \frac{u^...
