Krall-type polynomials are orthogonal polynomials for a Stieltjes' measure obtained by adding jumps at the boundary of the interval of orthogonality of either the generalized Laguerre polynomials or the Jacobi polynomials. We show that both…
We investigate the zeros of polynomial solutions to the differential-difference equation \[ P_{n+1}(x)=A_{n}(x)P_{n}^{\prime}(x)+B_{n}(x)P_{n}(x), n=0,1,... \] where $A_{n}$ and $B_{n}$ are polynomials of degree at most 2 and 1…
A classical theorem of Wendroff shows that one may reconstructs a sequence of orthogonal polynomials on the real line from two non-constant polynomials of consecutive degrees whose zeros strictly interlace on the real line. In this note we…
We study interlacing properties of the zeros of two types of linear combinations of Laguerre polynomials with different parameters, namely $R_n=L_n^{\alpha}+aL_{n}^{\alpha'}$ and $S_n=L_n^{\alpha}+bL_{n-1}^{\alpha'}$. Proofs and numerical…
The term interlacing refers to systematic inequalities between the sequences of eigenvalues of two operators defined on objects related by a specific oper- ation. In particular, knowledge of the spectrum of one of the objects then implies…

We introduce and study symmetric polynomials, which as very special cases include polynomials related to the supersymmetric eight-vertex model, and other elliptic lattice models with $\Delta=\pm 1/2$. There is also a close relation to…
We identify a class of remarkable algebraic relations satisfied by the zeros of the Krall orthogonal polynomials that are eigenfunctions of linear differential operators of order higher than two. Given an orthogonal polynomial family…
Orthogonal polynomials of several variables have a vector-valued three-term recurrence relation, much like the corresponding one-dimensional relation. This relation requires only knowledge of certain recurrence matrices, and allows simple…
