We present four types of infinitely many exactly solvable Fokker-Planck equations, which are related to the newly discovered exceptional orthogonal polynomials. They represent the deformed versions of the Rayleigh process and the Jacobi…
We consider semiclassical orthogonal polynomials on the unit circle associated with a weight function that satisfy a Pearson-type differential equation involving two polynomials of degree at most three. Structure relations and difference…
We investigate generalizations of the Charlier polynomials on the lattice $\mathbb{N}$, on the shifted lattice $\mathbb{N}+1-\beta$ and on the bi-lattice $\mathbb{N}\cup (\mathbb{N}+1-\beta)$. We show that the coefficients of the three-term…
The Painleve test is very useful to construct not only the Laurent series solutions of systems of nonlinear ordinary differential equations but also the elliptic and trigonometric ones. The standard methods for constructing the elliptic…
We give a survey of the connection between orthogonal polynomials, Toda lattices and related lattices, and Painlev\'e equations (discrete and continuous).
We study bivariate orthogonal polynomials associated with Freud weight functions depending on real parameters. We analyze relations between the matrix coefficients of the three term relations for the orthonormal polynomials as well as the…
This is a tutorial on duality properties of special functions, mainly of orthogonal polynomials in the ($q$-)Askey scheme. It is based on the first part of the 2017 R.P. Agarwal Memorial Lecture delivered by the author.
In this paper we introduce and discuss some classes of orthogonal polynomials in several non-commuting variables. The emphasis is on a non-commutative version of the orthogonal polynomials on the real line. We introduce recurrence equations…
We revise a method by Kalnins, Kress and Miller (2010) for constructing a canonical form for symmetry operators of arbitrary order for the Schr\"odinger eigenvalue equation $H\Psi \equiv (\Delta_2 +V)\Psi=E\Psi$ on any 2D Riemannian…
The goal of this paper is to investigate the missing part of the story about the relationship between the orthogonal polynomial ensembles and Painlev\'e equations. Namely, we consider the $q$-Racah polynomial ensemble and show that the…
The Yablonskii-Vorob'ev polynomials $y_{n}(t)$, which are defined by a second order bilinear differential-difference equation, provide rational solutions of the Toda lattice. They are also polynomial tau-functions for the rational solutions…
This is a introductory course focusing some basic notions in pseudodifferential operators ($\Psi$DOs) and microlocal analysis. We start this lecture notes with some notations and necessary preliminaries. Then the notion of symbols and…
This survey paper discusses the history of approximation formulas for n-th order derivatives by integrals involving orthogonal polynomials. There is a large but rather disconnected corpus of literature on such formulas. We give some results…
Polynomial optimization problems over binary variables can be expressed as integer programs using a linearization with extra monomials in addition to those arising in the given polynomial. We characterize when such a linearization yields an…
We review non-autonomous Hamiltonian systems, polynomial in two dependent variables, with the property that all of their solutions are meromorphic functions in the complex plane. These are related to known Hamiltonian systems with the…
We show that the discrete Painlev\'e-type equations arising from quantum minimal surfaces are equations for recurrence coefficients of orthogonal polynomials for indefinite hermitian products. As a consequence, we obtain an explicit formula…
This contribution deals with the sequence $\{\mathbb{U}_{n}^{(a)}(x;q,j)\}_{n\geq 0}$ of monic polynomials, orthogonal with respect to a Sobolev-type inner product related to the Al-Salam--Carlitz I orthogonal polynomials, and involving an…
Based on the work of Chen and Its [{\em J. Approx. Theory} {\bf 162} ({2010}) {270--297}], we further study orthogonal polynomials with respect to the singularly perturbed Laguerre weight $w(x;t,\alpha) = {x^\alpha}{\mathrm e^{-…
This paper is an extended version of four lectures at PIMS in Vancouver given June 27 - 30, 2016. The primary goal of these lectures was to publicize the author's recent efforts to extend to representations of linear algebraic groups the…
Properties of partial integrals such as real and complex-valued polynomial, multiple polynomial, exponential, and conditional for ordinary differential systems are studied. The possibilities of constructing first integrals and last…
