The aim of this paper is to bring into the picture a new phenomenon in the theory of orthogonal matrix polynomials satisfying second order differential equations. The last few years have witnessed some examples of a (fixed) family of…
We study some complete orthonormal systems on the real-line. These systems are determined by Bargmann-type transforms, which are Fourier integral operators with complex-valued quadratic phase functions. Each system consists of…
It is well known that if a finite order linear differential operator with polynomial coefficients has as eigenfunctions a sequence of orthogonal polynomials with respect to a positive measure (with support in the real line), then its order…
We investigate a type of Hermite orthogonal polynomials on $r$ lines in the plane which have a common point at the origin and endpoints at the $r$ roots of unity and we show that their related Hermite functions are eigenfunctions of a…
The goal of this work is to characterize all second order difference operators of several variables that have discrete orthogonal polynomials as eigenfunctions. Under some mild assumptions, we give a complete solution of the problem.
The main purpose of this paper is to obtain an explicit expression of a family of matrix valued orthogonal polynomials {P_n}_n, with respect to a weight W, that are eigenfunctions of a second order differential operator D. The weight W and…
The spectral decomposition for an explicit second-order differential operator $T$ is determined. The spectrum consists of a continuous part with multiplicity two, a continuous part with multiplicity one, and a finite discrete part with…
The matrix-valued spherical functions for the pair (K x K, K), K=SU(2), are studied. By restriction to the subgroup A the matrix-valued spherical functions are diagonal. For suitable set of representations we take these diagonals into a…
In this paper we explore orthogonal systems in $\mathrm{L}_2(\mathbb{R})$ which give rise to a skew-Hermitian, tridiagonal differentiation matrix. Surprisingly, allowing the differentiation matrix to be complex leads to a particular family…
We consider operator-valued Herglotz functions and their applications to self-adjoint perturbations of self-adjoint operators and self-adjoint extensions of densely defined closed symmetric operators. Our applications include model…
We construct operator analogues of Hermite functions which form an orthonormal basis for the Hilbert space $ \mathcal{S}_2$ of Hilbert-Schmidt operators on $ L^2(\R^n).$ We use this orthonormal basis to define Fourier transform on $…
We develop a theory of "special functions" associated to a certain fourth order differential operator $\mathcal{D}_{\mu,\nu}$ on $\mathbb{R}$ depending on two parameters $\mu,\nu$. For integers $\mu,\nu\geq-1$ with $\mu+\nu\in2\mathbb{N}_0$…
We consider orthogonal polynomials on the surface of a double cone or a hyperboloid of revolution, either finite or infinite in axis direction, and on the solid domain bounded by such a surface and, when the surface is finite, by…
A class of cross-shaped difference operators on a two dimensional lattice is introduced. The main feature of the operators in this class is that their formal eigenvectors consist of multiple orthogonal polynomials. In other words, this…
Partition functions of eigenvalue matrix models possess a number of very different descriptions: as matrix integrals, as solutions to linear and non-linear equations, as tau-functions of integrable hierarchies and as special-geometry…
The relation between the spectral decomposition of a self-adjoint operator which is realizable as a higher order recurrence operator and matrix-valued orthogonal polynomials is investigated. A general construction of such operators from…
The new notion of operator/matrix $k$-tone functions is introduced, which is a higher order extension of operator/matrix monotone and convex functions. Differential properties of matrix $k$-tone functions are shown. Characterizations,…
In this paper we introduce a notion of duality for matrix valued orthogonal polynomials with respect to a measure supported on the nonnegative integers. We show that the dual families are closely related to certain difference operators…

We extend to infinite dimensional separable Hilbert spaces the Schur convexity property of eigenvalues of a symmetric matrix with real entries. Our framework includes both the case of linear, selfadjoint, compact operators, and that of…
