The Askey-Wilson algebra $AW(3)$ with three generators is shown to serve as a hidden symmetry algebra underlying the Racah and (new) generalized Clebsch-Gordan problems for the quantum algebra $sl_q(2)$. On the base of this hidden symmetry…
We discuss an eigenvalue problem which arises in the studies of asymptotic stability of a self-similar attractor in the sigma model. This problem is rather unusual from the viewpoint of the spectral theory of linear operators and requires…
The auxiliary field method is a technique to obtain approximate closed formulae for the solutions of both nonrelativistic and semirelativistic eigenequations in quantum mechanics. For a many-body Hamiltonian describing identical particles,…

In 1992 A. Zhedanov introduced the Askey-Wilson algebra AW=AW(3) and used it to describe the Askey-Wilson polynomials. In this paper we introduce a central extension $\Delta$ of AW, obtained from AW by reinterpreting certain parameters as…

In this paper we present an addition to Askey's scheme of q-hypergeometric orthogonal polynomials involving classes of q-special functions which do not consist of polynomials only. The special functions are q-analogues of the Jacobi and…
To the best of our knowledge this paper is the first attempt to introduce and study polynomial interpolation of the polynomial data given on arbitrary varieties. In the first part of the paper we present results on the solvability of such…

We present an operator approach to Rogers-type formulas and Mehler's formulas for the Al-Salam-Carlitz polynomials $U_n(x,y,a;q)$. By using the q-exponential operator, we obtain a Rogers-type formula which leads to a linearization formula.…
It is well known that the classical families of orthogonal polynomials are characterized as eigenfunctions of a second order linear differential/difference operator. In this paper we present a study of classical orthogonal polynomials in a…
The Al-Salam-Chihara polynomials are an important family of orthogonal polynomials in one variable $x$ depending on 3 parameters $\alpha$, $\beta$ and $q$. They are closely connected to a model from statistical mechanics called the…
A second-order differential (q-difference) eigenvalue equation is constructed whose solutions are generating functions of the dual (q-)Hahn polynomials. The fact is noticed that these generating functions are reduced to the (little…
