Bernstein-Szegö Polynomials

The Polynomials on the interval $[-1,1]$ associated with the Weight Functions

$\displaystyle w(x)$ $\textstyle =$ $\displaystyle (1-x^2)^{-1/2}$  
$\displaystyle w(x)$ $\textstyle =$ $\displaystyle (1-x^2)^{1/2}$  
$\displaystyle w(x)$ $\textstyle =$ $\displaystyle \sqrt{1-x\over 1+x},$  

also called Bernstein Polynomials.
