Abstract

We introduce a family of weight matrices WW of the form T(t)T(t)T(t)T^*(t), T(t)=eAteDt2T(t)=e^{\mathscr{A}t}e^{\mathscr{D}t^2}, where A\mathscr{A} is certain nilpotent matrix and D\mathscr{D} is a diagonal matrix with negative real entries. The weight matrices WW have arbitrary size N×NN\times N and depend on NN parameters. The orthogonal polynomials with respect to this family of weight matrices satisfy a second order differential equation with differential coefficients that are matrix polynomials F2F_2, F1F_1 and F0F_0 (independent of nn) of degrees not bigger than 2, 1 and 0 respectively. For size 2×22\times 2, we find an explicit expression for a sequence of orthonormal polynomials with respect to WW. In particular, we show that one of the recurrence coefficients for this sequence of orthonormal polynomials does not asymptotically behave as a scalar multiple of the identity, as it happens in the examples studied up to now in the literature.
