A Computer Proof of Turans Inequality


الملخص بالإنكليزية

We show how Turans inequality $P_n(x)^2-P_{n-1}(x)P_{n+1}(x)geq 0$ for Legendre polynomials and related inequalities can be proven by means of a computer procedure. The use of this procedure simplifies the daily work with inequalities. For instance, we have found the stronger inequality $|x|P_n(x)^2-P_{n-1}(x)P_{n+1}(x)geq 0$, $-1leq xleq 1$, effortlessly with the aid of our method.
