As is well-known, poly-Bernoulli polynomials are defined in terms of polylogarithm functions. Recently, as degenerate version of such functions and polynomials, degenerate polylogarithm functions were introduced and degenertae…
We present an explicit formula for the transition matrix $\mathcal{C}$ from the type $C_n$ degeneration of the Koornwinder polynomials $P_{(1^r)}(x\,|\,a,-a,c,-c\,|\,q,t)$ with one column diagrams, to the type $C_n$ monomial symmetric…

In this paper, we introduce a new family of symmetric polynomials which depends on a parameter r. They are defined by specifying certain of their zeros. For the parameter values 1/2, 1, and 2 they have an interpretation in terms of Capelli…
Elementary properties of the Koornwinder-Macdonald multivariable Askey-Wilson polynomials are discussed. Studied are the orthogonality, the difference equations, the recurrence relations, and the orthonormalization constants for these…
We introduce a class of orthogonal polynomials in two variables which generalizes the disc polynomials and the 2-$D$ Hermite polynomials. We identify certain interesting members of this class including a one variable generalization of the…
We give an effective method to compute the entropy for polynomials orthogonal on a segment of the real axis that uses as input data only the coefficients of the recurrence relation satisfied by these polynomials. This algorithm is based on…
Given a partition $\lambda$ of a number $k$, it is known that by adding a long line of length $n-k$, the dimension of the associated representation of $S_{n}$ is an integer-valued polynomial of degree $k$ in $n$. We show that its expansion…
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…
We construct new families of (q-) difference and (contour) integral operators having nice actions on Koornwinder's multivariate orthogonal polynomials. We further show that the Koornwinder polynomials can be constructed by suitable…
Any homogeneous polynomial $P(x, y, z)$ of degree $d$, being restricted to a unit sphere $S^2$, admits essentially a unique representation of the form $\lambda_0 + \sum_{k = 1}^d \lambda_k [\prod_{j = 1}^k L_{kj}]$, where $L_{kj}$'s are…
In this paper we study a family of non-classical Jacobi polynomials with varying parameters of the form $\alpha_n=n+1/2$ and $\beta_n=-n-1/2$. We obtain global asymptotics for these polynomials, and use this to establish results on the…
We revisit the ladder operators for orthogonal polynomials and re-interpret two supplementary conditions as compatibility conditions of two linear over-determined systems; one involves the variation of the polynomials with respect to the…
Every classical orthogonal polynomial system $p_n(x)$ satisfies a three-term recurrence relation of the type \[ p_{n+1}(x)=(A_nx+B_n)p_n(x)-C_np_{n-1}(x)~ (n=0,1,2,\ldots, p_{-1}\equiv 0), \] with $C_nA_nA_{n-1}>0$. Moreover, Favard's…
