We prove generalizations of L\"owner's results on matrix monotone functions to several variables. We give a characterization of when a function of $d$ variables is locally monotone on $d$-tuples of commuting self-adjoint $n$-by-$n$…

Gowers norms have been studied extensively both in the direct sense, starting with a function and understanding the associated norm, and in the inverse sense, starting with the norm and deducing properties of the function. Instead of…

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…

We introduce and develop a theory of orthogonality with respect to Sobolev inner products on the real line for sequences of functions with a tridiagonal, skew-Hermitian differentiation matrix. While a theory of such L2-orthogonal systems is…

In this paper, we focus on the difference analogue of the Stothers-Mason theorem for entire functions of order less than 1, which can be seen as difference $abc$ theorem for entire functions. We also obtain the difference analogue of…

The aim of this paper is to bring into the picture a new phenomenon in the theory of orthogonal matrix polynomials satisfying second order differential equations. The last few years have witnessed some examples of a (fixed) family of…

We provide the necessary and sufficient conditions for a generalized Nevanlinna function $Q$ ($Q\in N_{\kappa }\left( \mathcal{H} \right)$) to be a Weyl function (also known as a Weyl-Titchmarch function). We also investigate an important…

In this paper, a link between $q$-difference equations, Jacobi operators and orthogonal polynomials is given. Replacing the variable $x$ by $ q^{-n}$ in a Sturm-Liouville $q$-difference equation we discovered the Jacobi operator. With…

In this paper a general theory of semi-classical matrix orthogonal polynomials is developed. We define the semi-classical linear functionals by means of a distributional equation $D(u A) = u B,$ where $A$ and $B$ are matrix polynomials.…

We say that the polynomial sequence $(Q^{(\lambda)}_n)$ is a semiclassical Sobolev polynomial sequence when it is orthogonal with respect to the inner product $$ <p, r>_S=<{{\bf u}} ,{p\, r}> +\lambda <{{\bf u}}, {{\mathscr D}p \,{\mathscr…

We introduce the notion of "hypergeometric" polynomials with respect to Newtonian bases. These polynomials are eigenfunctions ($L P_n(x) = \lambda_n P_n(x)$) of some abstract operator $L$ which is 2-diagonal in the Newtonian basis…

We consider a general discrete Sobolev inner product involving the Hahn difference operator, so this includes the well--known difference operators $\mathscr{D}_{q}$ and $\Delta$ and, as a limit case, the derivative operator. The objective…
