For a given polynomial $P$ with simple zeros, and a given semiclassical weight $w$, we present a construction that yields a linear second-order differential equation (ODE), and in consequence, an electrostatic model for zeros of $P$. The…
An electrostatic model is presented to describe the behaviour of the roots of classical discrete orthogonal polynomials. Indeed, this model applies in the more general frame of polynomial solutions of second-order linear difference…
We show that if m is a probability measure with infinite support on the unit circle having no singular component and a differentiable weight, then the corresponding paraorthogonal polynomial P_n(z;B) solves an explicit second order linear…
We study the differential equation $ - (p(x) y')' + q(x) y' = \lambda y,$ where $p(x)$ is a polynomial of degree at most 2 and $q(x)$ is a polynomial of degree at most 1. This includes the classical Jacobi polynomials, Hermite polynomials,…
Differential properties for orthogonal polynomials in several variables are studied. We consider multivariate orthogonal polynomials whose gradients satisfy some quasi--orthogonality conditions. We obtain several characterizations for these…
Univariate polynomials are called stable with respect to a domain $D$ if all of their roots lie in $D$. We study linear slices of the space of stable univariate polynomials with respect to a half-plane. We show that a linear slice always…

Several recently discovered properties of multiple families of special polynomials (some orthogonal and some not) that satisfy certain differential, difference or q-difference equations are reviewed. A general method of construction of…
This paper revisits the notion of classical orthogonal polynomials from a broader functional-analytic point of view. It is intended neither as a survey of known results nor as a review of the literature, but rather as a conceptual…
The authors present a unified method for calculating the zeros of the classical orthogonal polynomials based upon the electrostatic interpretation and its connection to the energy minimization problem. Examples are given with error…
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.…
In this paper we investigate the asymptotic distribution of the zeros of polynomials $P_{n}(x)$ satisfying a first order differential-difference equation. We give several examples of orthogonal and non-orthogonal families.
Zeros of many ensembles of polynomials with random coefficients are asymptotically equidistributed near the unit circumference. We give quantitative estimates for such equidistribution in terms of the expected discrepancy and expected…
In this contribution, the behavior of zeros of orthogonal polynomials associated with canonical linear spectral transformations of measures supported in the real line is analyzed. An electrostatic interpretation of them is given.
A fast and weakly stable method for computing the zeros of a particular class of hypergeometric polynomials is presented. The studied hypergeometric polynomials satisfy a higher order differential equation and generalize Laguerre…
