Abstract

Let KK denote a field, and let VV denote a vector space over KK with finite positive dimension. We consider a pair of linear transformations A:VVA:V \to V and A:VVA^*:V \to V that satisfy (i), (ii) below: (i) There exists a basis for VV with respect to which the matrix representing AA is irreducible tridiagonal and the matrix representing AA^* is diagonal. (ii) There exists a basis for VV with respect to which the matrix representing AA^* is irreducible tridiagonal and the matrix representing AA is diagonal. We call such a pair a {\em Leonard pair} on VV. It is known that there exists a basis for VV with respect to which the matrix representing AA is lower bidiagonal and the matrix representing AA^* is upper bidiagonal. In this paper we give some formulae involving the matrix units associated with this basis.
