In this paper, we present a comprehensive account of all Laguerre-type differential operators $D$ that are symmetric with respect to a $2\times 2$ irreducible weight $W$ on the interval $(0, \infty)$. These operators are associated with…
In this paper, we study linear transformations of the form $T[x^n]=P_n(x)$ where $\{P_n(x)\}$ is an orthogonal polynomial system. Of particular interest is understanding when these operators preserve real-rootedness in polynomials. It is…

We construct a set $M_d$ whose points parametrize families of Meixner polynomials in $d$ variables. There is a natural bispectral involution $b$ on $M_d$ which corresponds to a symmetry between the variables and the degree indices of the…

In this paper, by making use of the familiar $q$-difference operators $D_q$ and $D_{q^{-1}}$, we first introduce two homogeneous $q$-difference operators $\mathbb{T}({\bf a},{\bf b},cD_q)$ and $\mathbb{E}({\bf a},{\bf b}, cD_{q^{-1}})$,…

A classical result due to Bochner characterizes the classical orthogonal polynomial systems as solutions of a second-order eigenvalue equation. We extend Bochner's result by dropping the assumption that the first element of the orthogonal…
We consider kernels of discrete convolution operators or, equivalently, homogeneous solutions of partial difference operators and show that these solutions always have to be exponential polynomials. The respective polynomial space in…

Assume that $\{a_{n};\,n\geq0\}$ is a sequence of positive numbers and $\sum a_{n}^{\,-1}<\infty$. Let $\alpha_{n}=ka_{n}$, $\beta_{n}=a_{n}+k^{2}a_{n-1}$ where $k\in(0,1)$ is a parameter, and let $\{P_{n}(x)\}$ be an orthonormal polynomial…
Six families of generalized hypergeometric series in a variable $x$ and an arbitrary number of parameters are considered. Each of them is indexed by an integer $n$. Linear recurrence relations in $n$ relate these functions and their product…

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,…
In this work we deduce explicit formulae for the elements of the matrices that represent the action of integro-differential operators over the coefficients of generalized Fourier series. Our formulae are obtained by performing operations on…
A recursion operator is an integro-differential operator which maps a generalized symmetry of a nonlinear PDE to a new symmetry. Therefore, the existence of a recursion operator guarantees that the PDE has infinitely many higher-order…
