Abstract

‎Zernike circle polynomials use for wavefront analysis because of their orthogonality over a circular.‏‎
So far, different representations have been presented for these polynomials. In this paper,‎
‎‎we introduce Zernike polynomials and their important properties. Also, we present some other
orthogonal polynomials such ‎as‎ Bessel ‎functions,‎ Legendre polynomials and ‎
Jaccobi polynomials ‎and ‎give some important results of them‏.‎‎
Finally, we express the relationship between Zernike orthogonal polynomials
and these well-known orthogonal polynomials.‏‎
For different cases, the ‎radial‎ polynomials in the Zernike functions
are obtained using the well-known orthogonal polynomials‏.
These relations frequently used for representing‎
wavefront ‎aberrations.
