The symmetric group on 4 letters has the reflection group $D_{3}$ as an isomorphic image. This fact follows from the coincidence of the root systems $A_{3}$ and $D_{3}$. The isomorphism is used to construct an orthogonal basis of…

We consider random walk polynomial sequences $(P_n(x))_{n\in\mathbb{N}_0}\subseteq\mathbb{R}[x]$ given by recurrence relations of the form $P_0(x)=1$, $P_1(x)=x$ and $x P_n(x)=a_n P_{n+1}(x)+c_n P_{n-1}(x)\;(n\in\mathbb{N})$, where $a_n$…

By means of a symbolic method, in this paper we introduce a new family of multivariate polynomials such that multivariate L\'evy processes can be dealt with as they were martingales. In the univariate case, this family of polynomials is…
For a family of polynomials in two continuous variables, orthogonal with respect to a weight function, we prove, under suitable conditions, the equivalence of the following properties: the matrix Pearson equation of the weight, the second…
We study multiple orthogonal polynomials of type I and type II which have orthogonality conditions with respect to r measures. These polynomials are connected by their recurrence relation of order r+1. First we show a relation with the…
In a previous paper we have introduced matrix-valued analogues of the Chebyshev polynomials by studying matrix-valued spherical functions on SU(2)\times SU(2). In particular the matrix-size of the polynomials is arbitrarily large. The…
