We consider biorthogonal polynomials that arise in the study of a generalization of two--matrix Hermitian models with two polynomial potentials V_1(x), V_2(y) of any degree, with arbitrary complex coefficients. Finite consecutive…
The purpose of this work is to describe a duality between a fragmentation associated to certain Dirichlet distributions and a natural random coagulation. The dual fragmentation and coalescent chains arising in this setting appear in the…
We will show that the duality for regular weight systems introduced by K. Saito can be interpreted as the duality for orbifoldized Poincare polynomials.
Motivated by the challenge of sampling Gibbs measures with nonconvex potentials, we study a continuum birth-death dynamics. We improve results in previous works [51,57] and provide weaker hypotheses under which the probability density of…
Constrained orthogonal polynomials have been recently introduced in the study of the Hohenberg-Kohn functional to provide basis functions satisfying particle number conservation for an expansion of the particle density. More generally, we…
Our understanding of past evolutionary change is often based on reconstructions based on incomplete data, raising fundamental questions about the degree to which we can make reliable inferences about past evolutionary processes. This was…
Birth-death processes take place ubiquitously throughout the universe. In general, birth and death rates depend on the system size (corresponding to the number of products or customers undergoing the birth-death process) and thus vary every…
For birth and death chains, we derive bounds on the spectral gap and mixing time in terms of birth and death rates. Together with the results of Ding et al. in 2010, this provides a criterion for the existence of a cutoff in terms of the…
Laurent polynomials related to the Hahn-Exton $q$-Bessel function, which are $q$-analogues of the Lommel polynomials, have been introduced by Koelink and Swarttouw. The explicit strong moment functional with respect to which the Laurent…
We introduce a theory of orthogonal polynomials on the unit sphere of the quaternions based on the notion of a $q$-positive measure (which originated in a work of Alpay, Colombo, the second author and Sabadini). The results we extend to…
The discrete orthogonality relations hold for all the orthogonal polynomials obeying three term recurrence relations. We show that they also hold for multi-indexed Laguerre and Jacobi polynomials, which are new orthogonal polynomials…
Suppose $M$ is a finite simplicial complex and that for $0=t_0,t_1,...,t_r=1$ we have a discrete Morse function $F_{t_i}:M\to \zr$. In this paper, we study the births and deaths of critical cells for the functions $F_{t_i}$ and present an…
Delay is an important and ubiquitous aspect of many biochemical processes. For example, delay plays a central role in the dynamics of genetic regulatory networks as it stems from the sequential assembly of first mRNA and then protein.…
We present a new case of duality between integrable many-body systems, where two systems live on the action-angle phase spaces of each other in such a way that the action variables of each system serve as the particle positions of the other…
We derive a unified stochastic picture for the duality of a resampling-selection model with a branching-coalescing particle process (cf. http://www.ams.org/mathscinet-getitem?mr=MR2123250) and for the self-duality of Feller's branching…
Lattice birth-and-death Markov dynamics of particle systems with spins from the set of non-negative integers are constructed as unique solutions to certain stochastic equations. Pathwise uniqueness, strong existence, Markov property and…
The theory of monotonicity and duality is developed for general one-dimensional Feller processes. Moreover it is shown that local monotonicity conditions (conditions on the L\'evy kernel) are sufficient to prove the well-posedness of the…
Birth-and-death processes are widely used to model the development of biological populations. Although they are relatively simple models, their parameters can be challenging to estimate, because the likelihood can become numerically…
We study a family of Laguerre--Sobolev orthogonal polynomials associated with a Sobolev inner product arising from second--order boundary value problems on the semi--infinite interval $(0,+\infty)$. These polynomials generate an orthogonal…
We investigate the scaling properties of products of the exponential of birth--death processes with certain given marginal discrete distributions and covariance structures. The conditions on the mean, variance and covariance functions of…
