Pijeira, Héctor; Quintana, Yamilet; Rodríguez, José M. Sobolev formal orthogonality on algebraic curves and extensions of favard theorem. (English) Zbl 1260.42018 Jaen J. Approx. 3, No. 2, 193-207 (2011). Summary: Sobolev formal orthogonality on harmonic algebraic curves (\(\text{Im}(h(z))= 0\), \(h(z)\in\mathbb{C}[z])\) and equipotential curves \((|h(z)|= 1\), \(h(z)\in\mathbb{C}[z])\) is defined and studied. In each case, such a study is done through the characterization of bilinear forms whose associated functional annihilates at the multiples of \((h(z)- \overline{h(z)})^{2n+1}\) for harmonic algebraic curves, or the characterization of bilinear forms whose associated functional annihilates at the multiples of \((h(z)\overline{h(z)}-1)^{2n+1}\) for equipotential curves, \(n\in\mathbb{N}\). Such characterizations allow to find new extensions of the Favard theorem in this setting.
