We study a family of orthogonal polynomials which generalizes a sequence of polynomials considered by L. Carlitz. We show that they are a special case of the Sheffer polynomials and point out some interesting connections with certain…

These are the notes of my lectures at the 1996 European Congress of Mathematicians. {} Polynomials appear in mathematics frequently, and we all know from experience that low degree polynomials are easier to deal with than high degree ones.…

We give a first-order definition of key polynomials, we show the links with previous definitions, that it is relevant to study key degrees, and to use a kind of valuations that we call partially multiplicative. We also prove or reprove…

For the orthogonal Lie algebra O(2n+1), in addition to the conventional set of orthogonal polynomials, another set is produced with the help of the Lie superalgebra OSP(1|2n). Difficulties related with expression of Dyson's constant for the…

We investigate the zonal polynomials, a family of symmetric polynomials that appear in many mathematical contexts, such as multivariate statistics, differential geometry, representation theory, and combinatorics. We present two computer…

This article is part introduction and part survey to the mathematical area centered around local cohomology.

We give a concise direct proof of the orthogonality of interpolation Macdonald polynomials with respect to the Fourier pairing and briefly discuss some immediate applications of this orthogonality, such as the symmetry of the Fourier…

Orthogonal q-polynomials associated with q-Laguerre-Hahn form will be studied as a generalization of the q-semiclassical forms via a suitable q-difference equation. The concept of class and a criterion to determinate it will be given. The…

A characterization is given of those sequences of quasi-orthogonal polynomials which form also $q$-Appell sets.

We describe some examples of classical and explicit h-transforms as particular cases of a general mechanism, which is related to the existence of symmetric diffusion operators having orthogonal polynomials as spectral decomposition.

In this paper one extends the binomial and trinomial coefficients to the concept of 'k-nomial' coefficients, and one obtains some properties of these. As an application one generalizes Pascal's triangle.

In this note we provide an algorithm for computing the fractional integrals of orthogonal polynomials, which is more stable than that using the expression of the polynomials w.r.t. the canonical basis. This algorithm is aimed at solving…

These lecture notes provide an introduction to logarithmic geometry with a view towards recent applications in the desingularization theory.

This paper presents an alternative approach to simplify the proofs of some important results related to polynomial mappings in Computational Algebraic Geometry such as Polynomial Implicitization, Image Closure and some properties of the…

In this paper, we consider several special polynomials related to associated sequences of polynomials. Finally, we give some new and interesting identities of those polynomials arising from transfer formula for the associated sequences.

We study matrix three term relations for orthogonal polynomials in two variables constructed from orthogonal polynomials in one variable. Using the three term recurrence relation for the involved univariate orthogonal polynomials, the…

Expanded lecture notes. Preliminary version, comments are welcome.

Starting with univariate polynomial interpolation we arrive to a natural generalization of fundamental theorem of algebra for certain systems of multivariate algebraic equations.

In this paper we have discussed different possible orthogonalities in matrices, namely orthogonal, quasi-orthogonal, semi-orthogonal and non-orthogonal matrices including completely positive matrices, while giving some of their…
