Closed formula for the odd lacunary coefficients in the regularized Hermite case

Derive a closed formula for the odd-indexed coefficients \(\beta_{2n-1}\) in the recurrence defining the lacunary orthogonal polynomials \(R_{2n+1}(x)=H_{2n+2}(x)+\beta_{2n+1}H_{2n}(x)\) associated with the regularized Hermite functional \(w_h\).

Background

In Example 3.8, the paper studies lacunary orthogonal polynomials generated from the monic Hermite polynomials by the relation Rn(x)=Hn+1(x)+βnHn1(x)R_n(x)=H_{n+1}(x)+\beta_n H_{n-1}(x), where the coefficients βn\beta_n are determined by the regularized Hermite functional whw_h. The coefficients satisfy a two-step recurrence obtained from the factorization relations involving αn\alpha_n and βn\beta_n.

The even subsequence admits the explicit formula β2n=n+12\beta_{2n}=n+\tfrac12, but the authors state that they cannot obtain a closed formula for the odd subsequence β2n1\beta_{2n-1}. Determining such a formula would complete the explicit description of the lacunary orthogonal polynomials in this example.

References

However, for β2n−1 we can not get a closed formula.
