In this paper we propose a way to construct classical type Sobolev orthogonal polynomials. We consider two families of hypergeometric polynomials: ${}_2 F_2(-n,1;q,r;x)$ and ${}_3 F_2(-n,n-1+a+b,1;a,c;x)$ ($a,b,c,q,r>0$, $n=0,1,...$), which…
We prove the existence of stationary random fields with linear regressions for $q>1$ and thus close an open question posed by W. Bryc et al.. We prove this result by describing a discrete 1 dimensional conditional distribution and then…
Consider an abstract operator $L$ which acts on monomials $x^n$ according to $L x^n= \lambda_n x^n + \nu_n x^{n-2}$ for $\lambda_n$ and $\nu_n$ some coefficients. Let $P_n(x)$ be eigenpolynomials of degree $n$ of $L$: $L P_n(x) = \lambda_n…
The forward and backward shift relations are basic properties of the (basic) hypergeometric orthogonal polynomials in the Askey scheme (Jacobi, Askey-Wilson, $q$-Racah, big $q$-Jacobi etc.) and they are related to the factorization of the…
For orthogonal polynomials defined by compact Jacobi matrix with exponential decay of the coefficients, precise properties of orthogonality measure is determined. This allows showing uniform boundedness of partial sums of orthogonal…

A combinatorial theory for type $R_I$ orthogonal polynomials is given. The ingredients include weighted generalized Motzkin paths, moments, continued fractions, determinants, and histories. Several explicit examples in the Askey scheme are…
The Askey--Wilson integral is very important in the theory of orthogonal polynomials. Liu's integral is a generalization of the Askey--Wilson integral with many parameters. With the help of the series rearrangement method, we give the…
We derive an explicit sum formula for symmetric Macdonald polynomials. Our expression contains multiple sums over the symmetric group and uses the action of Hecke generators on the ring of polynomials. In the special cases $t=1$ and $q=0$,…
Several kinds of q-orthogonal polynomials with |q|=1 are constructed as the main parts of the eigenfunctions of new solvable discrete quantum mechanical systems. Their orthogonality weight functions consist of quantum dilogarithm functions,…
We study special values for the continuous $q$-Jacobi polynomials and present applications of these special values which arise from bilinear generating functions, and in particular the Poisson kernel for these polynomials.
We present a method to obtain weight functions associated with linear and quadratic lattices that yield discrete orthogonality with respect to a quasi-definite moment functional of the orthogonal polynomial sequences in the Askey scheme,…
In this work we study orthogonal polynomials via polynomial mappings in the framework of the $H_q-$semiclassical class. We consider two monic orthogonal polynomial sequences $\{p_n (x)\}_{n\geq0}$ and $\{q_n(x)\}_{n\geq0}$ such that $$…
An infinite summation formula of Hall-Littlewood polynomials due to Kawanaka is generalized to a finite summation formula, which implies, as applications, twelve multiple q-identities of Rogers-Ramanujan type.
In this contribution, we study the orthogonality conditions satisfied by Al-Salam-Carlitz polynomials $U^{(a)}_n(x;q)$ when the parameters $a$ and $q$ are not necessarily real nor `classical', i.e., the linear functional $\bf u$ with…
This paper addresses a general method of polynomial transformation of hypergeometric equations. Examples of some classical special equations of mathematical physics are generated. Heun's equation and exceptional Jacobi polynomials are also…
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…
Using the action of the Yang-Baxter elements of the Hecke algebra on polynomials, we define two bases of polynomials in n variables. The Hall-Littlewood polynomials are a subfamily of one of them. For q=0, these bases specialize into the…
In this paper we consider a semi-classical variation of the weight related to the little $q$-Laguerre polynomials and obtain a second order second degree discrete equation for the recurrence coefficients in the three-term recurrence…
We use the Legendre polynomials and the Hermite polynomials as two examples to illustrate a simple and systematic technique on deriving asymptotic formulas for orthogonal polynomials via recurrence relations. Another application of this…
