This paper concerns the discrete version of the Painlev\'e identification problem, i.e., how to recognize a certain recurrence relation as a discrete Painlev\'e equation. Often some clues can be seen from the setting of the problem, e.g.,…
We give four examples of families of orthogonal polynomials for which the coefficients in the recurrence relation satisfy a discrete Painlev\'e equation. The first example deals with Freud weights $|x|^\rho \exp(-|x|^m)$ on the real line,…

In this paper, we focus on the relationship between the d-P$\left(A_{3}^{(1)}/D_{5}^{(1)}\right)$ equations and a time-evolved Jacobi weight, $w(x)=x^{\alpha}(1-x)^{\beta}\mathrm{e}^{-sx}$, $x\in[0,1]$, $\alpha,\beta > -1$, $s>0$. From the…
We study a sequence of polynomials orthogonal with respect to a one parameter family of weights $$ w(x):=w(x,t)=\rex^{-t/x}\:x^{\al}(1-x)^{\bt},\quad t\geq 0, $$ defined for $x\in[0,1].$ If $t=0,$ this reduces to a shifted Jacobi weight.…
