We consider a realization of supersymmetric quantum mechanics where supercharges are differential-difference operators with reflections. A supersymmetric system with an extended Scarf I potential is presented and analyzed. Its…
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…
We extend and generalize the construction of Sturm-Liouville problems for a family of Hamiltonians constrained to fulfill a third-order shape-invariance condition and focusing on the "$-2x/3$" hierarchy of solutions to the fourth Painlev\'e…
The paper deals with singular Sturm-Liouville expressions with matrix-valued distributional coefficients. Due to a suitable regularization, the corresponding operators are correctly defined as quasi-differentials. Their resolvent…

We consider the systems of diffusion-orthogonal polynomials, defined in the work [1] of D. Bakry, S. Orevkov and M. Zani and (particularly) explain why these systems with boundary of maximal possible degree should always come from the…
We give an explicit description of all minimal self-adjoint extensions of a densely defined, closed symmetric operator in a Hilbert space with deficiency indices $(1, 1)$.
We introduce a family of exactly-solvable two-dimensional Hamiltonians whose wave functions are given in terms of Laguerre and exceptional Jacobi polynomials. The Hamiltonians contain purely quantum terms which vanish in the classical limit…

Geometry arising from two diffusion operators (smooth semi-elliptic, second order differential operators) on different spaces but intertwined by a smooth map is described. Particular cases arise from Riemannian submersions when the…
We consider a family of integral operators which appears when analyzing layered equilibria and front dynamics of a phase kinetics equation with a conservation law. We study the spectra of these operators in $L^2$ and derive a lower bound…

We consider diffusive systems, regarded as input/output systems with a kernel given as the Fourier--Borel transform of a measure in the left half-plane. Associated with these are a family of weighted Hankel integral operators, and we…
We present two infinite sequences of polynomial eigenfunctions of a Sturm-Liouville problem. As opposed to the classical orthogonal polynomial systems, these sequences start with a polynomial of degree one. We denote these polynomials as…
We obtain explicit upper and lower bounds on the norms of the spectral projections of the non-self-adjoint harmonic oscillator. Some of our results apply to a variety of other families of orthogonal polynomials.
Functions like the exponential, Chebyshev polynomials, and monomial symmetric polynomials are preeminent among all special functions. They have simple definitions and can be expressed using easily specified integers like n!. Families of…
A hypergeometric type equation satisfying certain conditions defines either a finite or an infinite system of orthogonal polynomials. We present in a unified and explicit way all these systems of orthogonal polynomials, the associated…
This semi-expository paper surveys results concerning three classes of orthogonal polynomials: in one non-hermitian variable, in several isometric non-commuting variables, and in several hermitian non-commuting variables. The emphasis is on…
Polynomial invariants are fundamental objects in analysis on Lie groups and symmetric spaces. Invariant differential operators on symmetric spaces are described by Weyl group invariant polynomial. In this article we give a simple criterion…
The theory of spectral methods for partial differential equations leads to infinite-dimensional matrices which represent the derivative operator with respect to an underlying orthonormal basis. Favourable properties of such differentiation…
