Orthogonality and Polynomials

Orthogonality is defined in the linear space of polynomials with complex coefficients with respect to an inner product < , > which involves a measure of integration supported on some subset E of the complex plane. If this subset is finite, then the discrete orthogonality appears. Sequences of orthogonal polynomials (OP) are built when you apply the standard Gram-Schmidt process to the canonical basis \((z^{n})_{n\geq 0}\)
