Over the last decade it has become clear that discrete Painlev\'e equations appear in a wide range of important mathematical and physical problems. Thus, the question of recognizing a given non-autonomous recurrence as a discrete Painlev\'e…
A polynomial is called self-reciprocal (or palindromic) if the sequence of its coefficients is palindromic. In this paper we obtain improved error bounds for the number of irreducible polynomials and self-reciprocal irreducible monic…
Consider the following truncated Freud linear functional $\mathbf{u}_z$ depending on a parameter $z$, $$\langle\mathbf{u}_z,p\rangle=\int_0^\infty p(x)e^{-zx^4}dx,\quad z>0.$$ The aim of this work is to analyze the properties of the…
We give an effective method to compute the entropy for polynomials orthogonal on a segment of the real axis that uses as input data only the coefficients of the recurrence relation satisfied by these polynomials. This algorithm is based on…

We present a method for obtaining congruences modulo powers of 3 for sequences given by recurrences of finite depth with polynomial coefficients. We apply this method to Catalan numbers, Motzkin numbers, Riordan numbers, Schr\"oder numbers,…

New sequences of orthogonal polynomials with ultra-exponential weight functions are discovered. In particular, it gives an explicit solution to the Ditkin-Prudnikov problem (1966). The 3-term recurrence relations, explicit representations,…

We consider properties of semi-classical orthogonal polynomials with respect to the generalised Airy weight \[\omega(x;t,\lambda)=x^{\lambda}\exp\left(-\tfrac13x^3+tx\right),\qquad x\in \mathbb{R}^+,\] with parameters $\lambda>-1$ and $t\in…
New bispectral orthogonal polynomials are obtained from an unconventional truncation of the Askey-Wilson polynomials. In the limit $q \to 1$, they reduce to the para-Racah polynomials which are orthogonal with respect to a quadratic…
We derive upper bounds for the smallest zero and lower bounds for the largest zero of Laguerre, Jacobi and Gegenbauer polynomials. Our approach uses mixed three term recurrence relations satisfied by polynomials corresponding to different…
In a previous paper we presented $3+2M$ term recurrence relations with variable dependent coefficients for $M$-indexed orthogonal polynomials of Laguerre, Jacobi, Wilson and Askey-Wilson types. In this paper we present (conjectures of) the…
Let ${z_n}$ be a sequence in the unit disk ${z\in\mathbb{C}:|z|<1}$. It is known that there exists a unique positive Borel measure in the unit circle ${z\in\mathbb{C}:|z|=1}$ such that the orthogonal polynomials ${\Phi_n}$ satisfy…
Combining the "method of restriction equations" of Rim\'anyi et al. with the techniques of symmetric functions, we establish the Schur function expansions of the Thom polynomials for the Morin singularities $A_3: ({\bf C}^{\bullet},0)\to…
Orthogonal polynomials on the unit circle are completely determined by their reflection coefficients through the Szeg\H{o} recurrences. We assume that the reflection coefficients converge to some complex number a with 0 < |a| < 1. The…
We study lower bounds for the norm of the product of polynomials and their applications to the so called \emph{plank problem.} We are particularly interested in polynomials on finite dimensional Banach spaces, in which case our results…
We use a non-linear characterization of orthonormal polynomials due to Saff in order to show that the behavior of orthonormal polynomials is determined only by its leading coefficient and its normalization. Several applications of this…
We renormalize the Chern-Simons invariant for convex-cocompact hyperbolic 3-manifolds by finding the asymptotics along an equidistance foliation. We prove that the metric Chern-Simons invariant has an exponentially divergent term given by…
It is known that orthogonal polynomials obey a 3 terms recursion relation, as well as a 2x2 differential system. Here, we give an explicit and concise expression of the differential system in terms of the recursion coefficients. This result…
