Hermite, Charles

 

Born Dec. 24, 1822, in Dieuze; died Jan. 14, 1901, in Paris. French mathematician. Member of the Academie des Sciences (1856).

Hermite obtained a position at the Ecole Polytechnique in 1848 and became a professor at the University of Paris in 1869. He made contributions to various areas of classical analysis, algebra, and number theory. Hermite’s principal works dealt with the theory of elliptic functions and its application. He studied the class of orthogonal polynomials now called Hermite polynomials. A number of his papers were devoted to the theory of algebraic forms and their invariants. Hermite proved in 1873 that e is a transcendental number.

Moreover, he possessed the good friendship of Messire Tristan l'Hermite, provost of the marshals of the king's household.
The French then say "le diable se fait hermite," but these men, as a rule, have never been devils, neither do they become angels; for, in order to be really good or evil, some strength and deep breathing is required.
From thence it has been transferred by the Reverend Charles Henry Hartsborne, M.A., editor of a very curious volume, entitled ``Ancient Metrical Tales, printed chiefly from original sources, 1829.'' Mr Hartshorne gives no other authority for the present fragment, except the article in the Bibliographer, where it is entitled the Kyng and the Hermite. A short abstract of its contents will show its similarity to the meeting of King Richard and Friar Tuck.

They form an AT-system, and the corresponding multiple orthogonal polynomials are known as multiple Hermite polynomials [H.sub.[??]].
There has also been a lot of work on the use of PH curves for interpolating planar [7, 8, 10, 15, 16] and spatial data-sets [17-21], in particular to meet [G.sup.1] Hermite [20, 22, 23] and [C.sup.2] Hermite conditions [7].
Amongst several versions of its further improvements, this work focuses on an application of the Hermite form of the conventional collocation where the involved differential operator is applied twice, explained in more detail in Section 2.
The wave functions in Schrodinger equation for the well-known potentials have been obtained on the orthogonal polynomials, such as Jacobi, generalized Laguerre, and Hermite polynomials and the energy eigenvalues spectrum can be accessible for each case.
There are only a few explicit examples which include the formula for the exponential generating function of Hermite polynomials [8] and the Glaisher-Crofton identity [9-11]
