The Painlev\'{e} equations arise from the study of Hankel determinants generated by moment matrices, whose weights are expressed as the product of ``classical" weights multiplied by suitable ``deformation factors", usually dependent on a…
We consider series expansions in bases of classical orthogonal polynomials. When such a series solves a linear differential equation with polynomial coefficients, its coefficients satisfy a linear recurrence equation. We interpret this…
A two-parameter sequence of orthogonal polynomials $\{P_n( x; \lambda, t)\}_{n\ge 0}$ with respect to the weight function $x^\alpha e^{- \lambda x} \rho_\nu(x t),\ \alpha > -1,\ \lambda, t \ge 0, \ \rho_{\nu}(x)= 2 x^{\nu/2} K_\nu(2\sqrt…
We study the asymptotics of recurrence coefficients for monic orthogonal polynomials $\pi_n(z)$ with the quartic exponential weight $\exp[-N(\frac 12 z^2+\frac 14 tz^4)]$, where $t\in {\mathbb C}$ and $N\in{\mathbb N}$, $N\to\infty$. Our…

We obtain new recurrence relations, an explicit formula, and convolution identities for higher order geometric polynomials. These relations generalize known results for geometric polynomials, and lead to congruences for higher order…
Associated to a finite measure on the real line with finite moments are recurrence coefficients in a three-term formula for orthogonal polynomials with respect to this measure. These recurrence coefficients are frequently inputs to modern…
Orthogonal polynomials and the Fourier orthogonal series on a cone of revolution in $\mathbb{R}^{d+1}$ are studied. It is shown that orthogonal polynomials with respect to the weight function $(1-t)^\gamma (t^2-\|x\|^2)^{\mu-\frac12}$ on…
For a family of polynomials in two continuous variables, orthogonal with respect to a weight function, we prove, under suitable conditions, the equivalence of the following properties: the matrix Pearson equation of the weight, the second…
We consider multiple orthogonal polynomials corresponding to two Macdonald functions (modified Bessel functions of the second kind), with emphasis on the polynomials on the diagonal of the Hermite-Pad\'e table. We give some properties of…
We start by presenting a generalization of a discrete wave equation that is particularly satisfied by the entries of the matrix coefficients of the refinement equation corresponding to the multiresolution analysis of Alpert. The entries are…
Weighted degrees of quasihomogeneous Hamiltonian functions of the Painlev\'{e} equations are investigated. A tuple of positive integers, called a regular weight, satisfying certain conditions related to singularity theory is classified.…
We show that the Catalan-Schroeder convolution recurrences and their higher order generalizations can be solved using Riordan arrays and the Catalan numbers. We investigate the Hankel transforms of many of the recurrence solutions, and…
A new method of composition orthogonality is introduced. It is applied to generate new sequences of orthogonal polynomials and functions. In particular, classical orthogonal polynomials are interpreted in the sense of composition…
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…
We consider orthogonal polynomials on the unit circle associated with certain semi-classical weight functions. This means that the Pearson-type differential equations satisfied by these weight functions involve two polynomials of degree at…
It is known that orthogonal polynomials obey a 3 terms recursion relation, as well as a 2x2 differential system. Here, we give an explicit and concise expression of the differential system in terms of the recursion coefficients. This result…
In a recent work difference equations (Laguerre-Freud equations) for the bi-orthogonal polynomials and related quantities corresponding to the weight on the unit circle $ w(z)=\prod^m_{j=1}(z-z_j(t))^{\rho_j} $ were derived.Here it is shown…
We construct new elliptic solutions of the restricted Toda chain. These solutions give rise to a new explicit class of orthogonal polynomials which can be considered as a generalization of the Stieltjes-Carlitz elliptic polynomials.…
We derive raising and lowering operators for orthogonal polynomials on the unit circle and find second order differential and $q$-difference equations for these polynomials. A general functional equation is found which allows one to relate…
