We introduce a new class of polynomials {Pn}, that we call polar Legendre polynomials, they appear as solutions of an inverse Gauss problem of equilibrium
position of a field of forces with n + 1 unit masses. We study algebraic, differential

position of a field of forces with n + 1 unit masses. We study algebraic, differential
and asymptotic properties of this class of polynomials, that are simultaneously
orthogonal with respect to a differential operator and a discrete-continuous Sobolev
