In this paper, by making use of the familiar $q$-difference operators $D_q$ and $D_{q^{-1}}$, we first introduce two homogeneous $q$-difference operators $\mathbb{T}({\bf a},{\bf b},cD_q)$ and $\mathbb{E}({\bf a},{\bf b}, cD_{q^{-1}})$,…
Rota-Baxter operators are an algebraic abstraction of integration. Following this classical connection, we study the relationship between Rota-Baxter operators and integrals in the case of the polynomial algebra $\mathbf{k}[x]$. We consider…
We study matrix elements of a change of base between two different bases of representations of the quantum algebra $U_q(su(1,1))$. The two bases, which are multivariate versions of Al-Salam--Chihara polynomials, are eigenfunctions of…
We study a Lax pair in a $2$-parameter Lie algebra in various representations. The overlap coefficients of the eigenfunctions of $L$ and the standard basis are given in terms of orthogonal polynomials and orthogonal functions. Moreover,…
In this paper, we study rational functions of $q$-Racah type and a multivariate extension, using representation theory of $\mathcal U_q(\mathfrak{sl}_2)$. Eigenfunctions of twisted primitive elements in $\mathcal U_q(\mathfrak{su}_2)$ can…
The values at positive integers of the polyzeta functions are solutions of the polynomial equations arising from Drinfeld's associators, which have numerous applications in quantum algebra. Considered as iterated integrals they become…

The purpose of this paper is to give a characterisation of divided power algebras over a reduced operad. Such a characterisation is given in terms of polynomial operations, following the classical example of divided power algebras. We…
There is a commutative algebra of differential-difference operators, with two parameters, associated to any dihedral group with an even number of reflections. The intertwining operator relates this algebra to the algebra of partial…
We construct new families of discrete vector orthogonal polynomials that have the property to be eigenfunctions of some difference operator. They are extensions of Charlier, Meixner and Kravchuk polynomial systems. The ideas behind our…
Exploiting symmetry in Groebner basis computations is difficult when the symmetry takes the form of a group acting by automorphisms on monomials in finitely many variables. This is largely due to the fact that the group elements, being…
We consider the Krall-Sheffer class of admissible, partial differential operators in the plane. We concentrate on algebraic structures, such as the role of commuting operators and symmetries. For the polynomial eigenfunctions, we give…
This article gives a brief introduction to $q$-special functions, i.e., $q$-analogues of the classical special functions. Here $q$ is a deformation parameter, usually $0<q<1$, where $q=1$ is the classical case. The main topics to be treated…
A generalization of the Macdonald polynomials depending upon both commuting and anticommuting variables has been introduced recently. The construction relies on certain orthogonality and triangularity relations. Although many…
The tridiagonal algebra is defined by two generators and two relations, called the tridiagonal relations. Special cases of the tridiagonal algebra include the $q$-Onsager algebra, the positive part of the $q$-deformed enveloping algebra…
Automorphisms of the infinite dimensional Onsager algebra are introduced. Certain quotients of the Onsager algebra are formulated using a polynomial in these automorphisms. In the simplest case, the quotient coincides with the classical…

In this review, I describe a recent approach based on the representation theory of the $q-$Onsager algebra which is used to derive exact results for the XXZ open spin chain. The complete spectrum and eigenstates are obtained as rational…
Given a sequence of polynomials $(p_n)_n$, an algebra of operators $\mathcal{A}$ acting in the linear space of polynomials and an operator $D_p\in \mathcal{A}$ with $D_p(p_n)=np_n$, we form a new sequence of polynomials $(q_n)_n$ by…
