Abstract
By investigating the behavior of two solvable isochronous N-body problems in the immediate vicinity of their equilibria, functional equations satisfied by the para-Jacobi polynomial \({p_{N} \left(0, 1; \gamma; x \right)}\) and by the Jacobi polynomial \({P_{N}^{\left(-N-1,-N-1 \right)} \left(x \right)}\) (or, equivalently, by the Gegenbauer polynomial \({C_{N}^{-N-1/2}\left( x \right) }\)) are identified, as well as Diophantine properties of the zeros and coefficients of these polynomials.
