The Renyi, Shannon and Fisher spreading lengths of the classical or hypergeometric orthogonal polynomials, which are quantifiers of their distribution all over the orthogonality interval, are defined and investigated. These…
Following the lead of J. Dehesa and his collaborators, we compute the Fisher information of the Meixner-Pollaczek, Meixner, Krawtchouk and Charlier polynomials.
The macroscopic properties of a quantum system strongly depend on the spreading of the physical eigenfunctions (wavefunctions) of its Hamiltonian operador over its confined domain. The wavefunctions are often controlled by classical or…
The direct spreading measures of the Laguerre polynomials, which quantify the distribution of its Rakhmanov probability density along the positive real line in various complementary and qualitatively different ways, are investigated. These…
The Fisher information of the classical orthogonal polynomials with respect to a parameter is introduced, its interest justified and its explicit expression for the Jacobi, Laguerre, Gegenbauer and Grosjean polynomials found.
Let $p_n$ be the $n$-th orthonormal polynomial on the real line, whose zeros are $\lambda_j^{(n)}$, $j=1, ..., n$. Then for each $j=1, ..., n$, $$ \vec \Psi_j^2 = (\Psi_{1j}^2, ..., \Psi_{nj}^2) $$ with $$ \Psi_{ij}^2= p_{i-1}^2…

This paper studies new Lancaster characterizations of bivariate multivariate Poisson, negative binomial and normal distributions which have diagonal expansions in multivariate orthogonal polynomials. The characterizations extend classical…
The complexity measures of the Cr\'amer-Rao, Fisher-Shannon and LMC (L\'opez-Ruiz, Mancini and Calvet) types of the Rakhmanov probability density $\rho_n(x)=\omega(x) p_n^2(x)$ of the polynomials $p_n(x)$ orthogonal with respect to the…
We study two families of type II discrete multiple orthogonal polynomials on an $r$-legged star-like set with respect to $r$ weight functions of Charlier (Poisson distributions) and Meixner (negative binomial distributions), respectively.…
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…
Two new information-theoretic methods are introduced for establishing Poisson approximation inequalities. First, using only elementary information-theoretic techniques it is shown that, when $S_n=\sum_{i=1}^nX_i$ is the sum of the (possibly…
We describe five types of results concerning information and concentration of discrete random variables, and relationships between them, motivated by their counterparts in the continuous case. The results we consider are information…
The measure of Jensen-Fisher divergence between probability distributions is introduced and its theoretical grounds set up. This quantity, in contrast to the remaining Jensen divergences, is very sensitive to the fluctuations of the…
Given an arbitrary continuous probability density function, it is introduced a conjugated probability density, which is defined through the Shannon information associated with its cumulative distribution function. These new densities are…
George R. Terrell (1983, {Ann. Probab., vol. 11(3), pp. 823--826) showed that the Pearson coefficient of correlation of an ordered pair from a random sample of size two is at most one-half, and the equality is attained only for rectangular…
The purpose of this note is to establish, from the hypergeometric-type difference equation introduced by Nikiforov and Uvarov, new tractable sufficient conditions for the monotonicity with respect to a real parameter of zeros of classical…
We consider discrete orthogonal polynomial ensembles which are discrete analogues of the orthogonal polynomial ensembles in random matrix theory. These ensembles occur in certain problems in combinatorial probability and can be thought of…
We introduce a new family of special functions, namely $q$-Charlier multiple orthogonal polynomials. These polynomials are orthogonal with respect to $q$-analogues of Poisson distributions. We focus our attention on their structural…
We review the properties of six families of orthogonal polynomials that form the main bulk of the collection called the Askey--Wilson scheme of polynomials. We give connection coefficients between them as well as the so-called linearization…
