X.-S. Lin and Z. Wang recently made a conjecture concerning the integrality of the Taylor coefficients of the averaged Jones polynomial of algebraically split links. This question is related to a conjectural integrality result for the…
We construct a set $H$ of orthogonal polynomial sequences that contains all the families in the Askey scheme and the $q$-Askey scheme. The polynomial sequences in $H$ are solutions of a generalized first-order difference equation which is…
Sitting at the top level of the Askey-scheme, Wilson polynomials are regarded as the most general hypergeometric orthogonal polynomials. Instead of a differential equation, they satisfy a second order Sturm-Liouville type difference…
We obtain an explicit formula for a certain weighted enumeration of lozenge tilings of a hexagon with an arbitrary triangular hole. The complexity of our expression depends on the distance from the hole to the center of the hexagon. This…
We consider integrals of type $\int_{O_n}u_{11}^{a_1}... u_{1n}^{a_n}u_{21}^{b_1}... u_{2n}^{b_n} du$, with respect to the Haar measure on the orthogonal group. We establish several remarkable invariance properties satisfied by such…

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…
To derive an eigenvalue problem for the associated Askey-Wilson polynomials, we consider an auxiliary function in two variables which is related to the associated Askey-Wilson polynomials introduced by Ismail and Rahman. The Askey-Wilson…
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…
In this paper we consider a transformation $L_a$ of sequences of complex numbers. We find the inverse transformation of $L_a$ as well as the inverse of a related transformation $\tilde{L}_a$. We explore a connection to the binomial…
We discuss as a fundamental characteristic of orthogonal polynomials like the existence of a Lie algebra behind them, can be added to their other relevant aspects. At the basis of the complete framework for orthogonal polynomials we put…
A $\mathbb{D}$-semi-classical weight is one which satisfies a particular linear, first order homogeneous equation in a divided-difference operator $\mathbb{D}$. It is known that the system of polynomials, orthogonal with respect to this…
Four families of generalizations of trigonometric functions were recently introduced. In the paper the functions are transformed into four families of orthogonal polynomials depending on two variables. Recurrence relations for construction…
In this survey paper, we exhaustively explore the terminating basic hypergeometric representations of the Askey-Wilson polynomials and the corresponding terminating basic hypergeometric transformations that these polynomials satisfy. From…
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…
We obtain new explicit formulas for the recurrence coefficients of the q-orthogonal polynomial sequences in a class that extends the q-Askey scheme. Our formulas express the recurrence coefficients in terms of four parameters that determine…
