In a very recent paper, M. Rahman introduced a remarkable family of polynomials in two variables as the eigenfunctions of the transition matrix for a nontrivial Markov chain due to M. Hoare and M. Rahman. I indicate here that these…
Multivariate extensions of the Krawtchouk polynomials have been studied by numerous authors in recent decades by exploring new connections to probability, representation theory and quantum integrability. We develop a theory of multivariate…
Two very closely related Rahman polynomials are constructed explicitly as the left eigenvectors of certain multi-dimensional discrete time Markov chain operators $K_n^{(i)}({\boldsymbol x},{\boldsymbol y};N)$, $i=1,2$. They are convolutions…
We give a hypergeometric proof involving a family of 2-variable Krawtchouk polynomials that were obtained earlier by Hoare and Rahman [SIGMA 4 (2008), 089, 18 pages] as a limit of the 9-j symbols of quantum angular momentum theory, and…
Krawtchouk polynomials appear in a variety of contexts, most notably as orthogonal polynomials and in coding theory via the Krawtchouk transform. We present an operator calculus formulation of the Krawtchouk transform that is suitable for…
Existing approaches for multivariate functional principal component analysis are restricted to data on the same one-dimensional interval. The presented approach focuses on multivariate functional data on different domains that may differ in…
Multivariate orthogonal polynomials can be introduced by using a moment functional defined on the linear space of polynomials in several variables with real coefficients. We study the so-called Uvarov and Christoffel modifications obtained…
The multivariate quantum $q$-Krawtchouk polynomials are shown to arise as matrix elements of "$q$-rotations" acting on the state vectors of many $q$-oscillators. The focus is put on the two-variable case. The algebraic interpretation is…
Multivariate Krawtchouk polynomials are constructed explicitly as Birth and Death polynomials, which have the nearest neighbour interactions. They form the complete set of eigenpolynomials of a birth and death process with the birth and…
Theoretical calculations of one- and two-hole spectral functions for the O16 nucleus are still failing to describe some of the important features observed experimentally. Of critical importance for the solution of these issues is to obtain…
Diaconis and Griffiths (2014) study the multivariate Krawtchouk polynomials orthogonal on the multinomial distribution. In this paper we derive the reproducing kernel orthogonal polynomials Q_n(x,y};N,p) on the multinomial distribution…
The multivariate Hahn polynomials are constructed explicitly as the common eigenvectors of a family of second order difference operators. They are orthogonal with respect to the hypergeometric multinomial distribution. The main difference…
We develop a unified construction of matrix-valued orthogonal polynomials associated with discrete weights, yielding bispectral sequences as eigenfunctions of second-order difference operators. This general framework extends the discrete…
In this paper we present a nonparametric method for extending functional regression methodology to the situation where more than one functional covariate is used to predict a functional response. Borrowing the idea from Kadri et al.…
We aim addition theorems for multivariate Krawtchouk polynomials, following Dunkl(1976) for 1-variate case. We work on harmonic analysis on a non-Archimedean local field, that is a group theoretic situation where these polynomials play…
Markov chains are a class of probabilistic models that have achieved widespread application in the quantitative sciences. This is in part due to their versatility, but is compounded by the ease with which they can be probed analytically.…
The notion of monogenic (or regular) functions, which is a correspondence of holomorphic functions, has been studied extensively in hypercomplex analysis, including quaternionic, octonionic, and Clifford analysis. Recently, the concept of…
In this paper, we study rational functions of $q$-Racah type and a multivariate extension, using representation theory of $\mathcal U_q(\mathfrak{sl}_2)$. Eigenfunctions of twisted primitive elements in $\mathcal U_q(\mathfrak{su}_2)$ can…
We study the recurrence coefficients of the orthogonal polynomials with respect to a semi-classical extension of the Krawtchouk weight. We derive a coupled discrete system for these coefficients and show that they satisfy the fifth…
