In a recent paper Ismail, Masson, and Suslov have established a continuous orthogonality relation and some other properties of a $_2\varphi_1$-Bessel function on a $q$-quadratic grid. Dick Askey suggested that the ``Bessel-type…
Given a finite set $F=\{f_1,\cdots ,f_k\}$ of nonnegative integers (written in increasing size) and a classical discrete family $(p_n)_n$ of orthogonal polynomials (Charlier, Meixner, Krawtchouk or Hahn), we consider the Casorati…
The tridiagonal representation approach is an algebraic method for solving second order differential wave equations. Using this approach in the solution of quantum mechanical problems, we encounter two new classes of orthogonal polynomials…
In this paper, we present some criteria for the $2$-$q$-log-convexity and $3$-$q$-log-convexity of combinatorial sequences, which can be regarded as the first column of certain infinite triangular array $[A_{n,k}(q)]_{n,k\geq0}$ of…
Finite-dimensional representations of Onsager's algebra are characterized by the zeros of truncation polynomials. The Z_N-chiral Potts quantum chain hamiltonians (of which the Ising chain hamiltonian is the N=2 case) are the main known…
Fractional $q$-extensions of some classical $q$-orthogonal polynomials are introduced and some of the main properties of the new defined functions are given. Next, a fractional $q$-difference equation of Gauss type is introduced and solved…
Our goal is to show that the one-interval gap probability for the q-Hahn orthogonal polynomial ensemble can be expressed through a solution of the asymmetric q-Painleve V equation. The case of the q-Hahn ensemble we consider is the most…
The idea of orthogonal polynomials has been generalized in two ways to achieve new types of polynomials: noncommutative orthogonal polynomials and biorthogonal polynomials. This paper brings these two different generalizations together to…
We are interested in the asymptotic behavior of orthogonal polynomials of the generalized Jacobi type as their degree $n$ goes to $\infty$. These are defined on the interval $[-1,1]$ with weight function…
We study infinite series expansions for the Riemann xi function $\Xi(t)$ in three specific families of orthogonal polynomials: (1) the Hermite polynomials; (2) the symmetric Meixner-Pollaczek polynomials $P_n^{(3/4)}(x;\pi/2)$; and (3) the…
Connection coefficients between different orthonormal bases satisfy two discrete orthogonal relations themselves. For classical orthogonal polynomials whose weights are invariant under the action of the symmetric group, connection…
A hypergeometric type equation satisfying certain conditions defines either a finite or an infinite system of orthogonal polynomials. We present in a unified and explicit way all these systems of orthogonal polynomials, the associated…
This paper provides the details of Remark 5.4 in the author's paper "Askey-Wilson polynomials as zonal spherical functions on the SU(2) quantum group", SIAM J. Math. Anal. 24 (1993), 795-813. In formula (5.9) of the 1993 paper a…
We investigate on some Appel-type orthogonal polynomial sequences on q-quadratic lattices and we provide some entire new characterizations of the Al-Salam Chihara polynomials (including the Rogers q-Hermite polynomials). The corresponding…
A recent result of S.-Y. Lee and M. Yang states that the planar orthogonal polynomials orthogonal with respect to a modified Gaussian measure are multiple orthogonal polynomials of type II on a contour in the complex plane. We show that the…
We define the generalized hypergeometric polynomial of degree N in terms of the generalized hypergeometric function that depends on p parameters a_1, ..., a_p and q parameters b_1, ..., b_q. The parameters are "generic", possibly complex,…

Polynomials $Q_n(z)$, $n=0,1,\ldots,$ that are multi-orthogonal with respect to a Nikishin system of $p\geq 1$ compactly supported measures over the star-like set of $p+1$ rays $S_+:=\{z\in \mathbb{C}: z^{p+1}\geq 0 \}$ are investigated. We…
In this paper we study a generalization of the class of orthogonal polynomials on the real line. These polynomials satisfy the following relation: $(J_5 - \lambda J_3) \vec p(\lambda) = 0$, where $J_3$ is a Jacobi matrix and $J_5$ is a…
In this overview paper a direct approach to q-Chebyshev polynomials and their elementary properties is given. Special emphasis is placed on analogies with the classical case. There are also some connections with q-tangent and q-Genocchi…
