A joint algebraic interpretation of the biorthogonal Askey polynomials on the unit circle and of the orthogonal Jacobi polynomials is offered. It ties their bispectral properties to an algebra called the meta-Jacobi algebra $m\mathfrak{J}$.
This paper mainly studies the gradient-based Jacobi-type algorithms to maximize two classes of homogeneous polynomials with orthogonality constraints, and establish their convergence properties. For the first class of homogeneous…
Burchnall's method to invert the Feldheim-Watson linearization formula for the Hermite polynomials is extended to all polynomial families in the Askey-scheme and its $q$-analogue. The resulting expansion formulas are made explicit for…
The generating functions of some sequences of Catalan numbers and Narayana polynomials have simple expansions as continued fractions of Jacobi type. We give an overview of these facts and prove analogous results for q-Narayana polynomials…
We study the orthogonal polynomials associated with the equilibrium measure, in logarithmic potential theory, living on the attractor of an Iterated Function System. We construct sequences of discrete measures, that converge weakly to the…

We prove an inequality for Jacobi polynomials that \begin{align} \Delta_n(x):=P_n^{(\alpha_n,\beta_n)}(x)P_n^{(\alpha_{n+1},\beta_{n+1})}(x)- P_{n-1}^{(\alpha_n,\beta_n)}(x)P_{n+1}^{(\alpha_{n+1},\beta_{n+1})}(x)\le 0,\ \forall x\ge 1,…
New bispectral polynomials orthogonal on a quadratic bi-lattice are obtained from a truncation of Wilson polynomials. Recurrence relation and difference equation are provided. The recurrence coefficients can be encoded in a perturbed…
A Bernstein type inequality is obtained for the Jacobi polynomials $P_n^{\alpha,\beta}(x)$, which is uniform for all degrees $n\ge0$, all real $\alpha,\beta\ge0$, and all values $x\in [-1,1]$. It provides uniform bounds on a complete set of…
We revisit the ladder operators for orthogonal polynomials and re-interpret two supplementary conditions as compatibility conditions of two linear over-determined systems; one involves the variation of the polynomials with respect to the…
This paper derives sparse recurrence relations between orthogonal polynomials on a triangle and their partial derivatives, which are analogous to recurrence relations for Jacobi polynomials. We derive these recurrences in a systematic…
It is well known that Sobolev-type orthogonal polynomials with respect to measures supported on the real line satisfy higher-order recurrence relations and these can be expressed as a (2N+1)-banded symmetric semi-infinite matrix. In this…
The generating function of the Bannai-Ito polynomials is derived using the fact that these polynomials are known to be essentially the Racah or $6j$ coefficients of the $\mathfrak{osp}(1|2)$ Lie superalgebra. The derivation is carried in a…
In this paper, we introduce Jacobi polynomial generalizations of several classical invariants in coding theory over finite fields, specifically, the higher and extended weight enumerators, and we establish explicit correspondences between…
We consider dual polynomials of the multi-indexed ($q$-)Racah orthogonal polynomials. The $M$-indexed ($q$-)Racah polynomials satisfy the second order difference equations and various $1+2L$ ($L\geq M+1$) term recurrence relations with…
In this paper, we introduce a new family of symmetric polynomials which depends on a parameter r. They are defined by specifying certain of their zeros. For the parameter values 1/2, 1, and 2 they have an interpretation in terms of Capelli…
The quadratic rank two Jacobi algebra is identified from the relations obeyed by the bispectral operators of the two variable Jacobi polynomials orthogonal on the triangle. It is seen to admit as subalgebras Racah and Jacobi algebras of…
We survey some recent developments in the theory of orthogonal polynomials defined by differential equations. The key finding is that there exist orthogonal polynomials defined by 2nd order differential equations that fall outside the…
Big $q$-Jacobi functions are eigenfunctions of a second order $q$-difference operator $L$. We study $L$ as an unbounded self-adjoint operator on an $L^2$-space of functions on $\mathbb R$ with a discrete measure. We describe explicitly the…
Iterated Geronimus transformations generate Sobolev-type orthogonal polynomials from classical families. We establish a direct equivalence between a Sobolev inner product involving point evaluation and the first derivative at a point a…
