The spherical transform maps the orthogonal basis of symmetric Jacobi-type polynomials to an orthogonal basis of (symmetric) Wilson polynomials. The spherical transform is closely related to the Cherednik-Opdam transform, as it is essentially its symmetric version. The symmetric Jacobi-type polynomials can be composed from the non-symmetric Jacobi-type polynomials. These relations, between the symmetric and non-symmetric theory, give an incentive to consider the Cherednik-Opdam transform of non-symmetric Jacobi-type polynomials. This work gives an overview of the symmetric theory about the spherical transform of Jacobi-type polynomials and lays down the groundwork for the Cherednik-Opdam transform of the non-symmetric Jacobi-type polynomials.
