Classes of such polynomials have been found that generalize the classical OP’s in the sense that they satisfy second order matrix differential equations with coefficients independent of the degree. … These results are proven in Everitt et al. (2004), via construction of a self-adjoint Sturm–Liouville operator which generates the L n ( k ) ( x ) polynomials, self-adjointness implying both orthogonality and completeness. …

    This relates to a suggestion of Hilbert and Pólya that the zeros are eigenvalues of some operator, and the Riemann hypothesis is true if that operator is Hermitian. … Quantum field theory often encounters formally divergent sums that need to be evaluated by a process of regularization: for example, the energy of the electromagnetic vacuum in a confined space (Casimir–Polder effect). …
