We prove a projection formula for the four-parameter family of orthogonal polynomials that are a reparameterization of the polynomials in the Askey-Wilson class. By carefully analyzing the recurrence relations we manage to avoid using the…
As the third stage of the project multi-indexed orthogonal polynomials, we present, in the framework of 'discrete quantum mechanics' with pure imaginary shifts in one dimension, the multi-indexed Wilson and Askey-Wilson polynomials. They…
We use orthogonality measures of Askey--Wilson polynomials to construct Markov processes with linear regressions and quadratic conditional variances. Askey--Wilson polynomials are orthogonal martingale polynomials for these processes.
In this paper we show that the only sequences of orthogonal polynomials $(P_n)_{n\geq 0}$ satisfying \begin{align*} \phi(x)\mathcal{D}_q P_{n}(x)=a_n\mathcal{S}_q P_{n+1}(x) +b_n\mathcal{S}_q P_n(x) +c_n\mathcal{S}_q P_{n-1}(x),…
By using two known transformation formulas for basic hypergeometric series, we establish a direct extension of Bailey's $_6\psi_6$-series identity. Subsequently, it and Milne's identity are employed to drive multi-variable generalizations…
In his monograph [Classical and quantum orthogonal polynomials in one variable, Cambridge University Press, 2005 (paperback edition 2009)], Ismail conjectured that certain structure relations involving the Askey-Wilson operator characterize…
Ismail and Wilson derived a generating function for Askey--Wilson polynomials which is given by a product of $q$-Gauss (Heine) nonterminating basic hypergeometric functions. We provide a generalization of that generating function which…
Generalised matrix elements of the irreducible representations of the quantum $SU(2)$ group are defined using certain orthonormal bases of the representation space. The generalised matrix elements are relatively infinitesimal invariant with…
A unifying scheme of classical special functions of hypergeometric type obeying orthogonality or biorthogonality relations is described. It expands the Askey scheme of classical orthogonal polynomials and its $q$-analogue based on the…
We examine a special linear combination of balanced very-well-poised $\tphia$ basic hypergeometric series that is known to satisfy a transformation. We call this $\Phi$ and show that it satisfies certain three-term contiguous relations.…
We use connection relations and series rearrangement to generalize generating functions for several higher continuous orthogonal polynomials in the Askey scheme, namely the Wilson, continuous dual Hahn, continuous Hahn, and…
We study two families of orthogonal polynomials. The first is a finite family related to the Askey-Wilson polynomials but the orthogonality is on the real line. A limiting case of this family is an infinite system of orthogonal polynomials…
Connection coefficient formulas for special functions describe change of basis matrices under a parameter change, for bases formed by the special functions. Such formulas are related to branching questions in representation theory. The…
We introduce three one-parameter semigroups of operators and determine their spectra. Two of them are fractional integrals associated with the Askey-Wilson operator. We also study these families as families of positive linear approximation…
We establish a Wiman-Valiron theory of a polynomial series based on the Askey-Wilson operator $\mathcal{D}_q$, where $q\in(0,1)$. For an entire function $f$ of log-order smaller than $2$, this theory includes (i) an estimate which shows…
We study a family of "classical" orthogonal polynomials which satisfy (apart from a 3-term recurrence relation) an eigenvalue problem with a differential operator of Dunkl-type. These polynomials can be obtained from the little $q$-Jacobi…
Matrix-valued spherical functions related to the quantum symmetric pair for the quantum analogue of $(SU(2) \times SU(2), \text{diag})$ are introduced and studied in detail. The quantum symmetric pair is given in terms of a quantised…
In this paper we describe two pairs of raising/lowering operators for Askey-Wilson polynomials, which result from constructions involving very different techniques. The first technique is quite elementary, and depends only on the…
For a two parameter family of Askey-Wilson polynomials, that can be regarded as basic analogues of the Legendre polynomials, an addition formula is derived. The addition formula is a two-parameter extension of Koornwinder's addition formula…
