The present paper is a continuation of the author's previous works, in which necessary and sufficient local extrema at a stationary point of a polynomial or a power series (and thus of an analytic function) are given. It is known that for…

The study of several naturally arising "nearest neighbours" random walks benefits from the study of the associated orthogonal polynomials and their orthogonality measure. I consider extensions of this approach to a larger class of random…
