Spectral methods are now common in the solution of ordinary differential eigenvalue problems in a wide variety of fields, such as in the computation of black hole quasinormal modes. Most of these spectral codes are based on standard…
The quasinormal modes of black holes (BHs) in the large-angular-momentum limit can be computed within the eikonal approximation. This approximation is often extrapolated to low angular momentum to obtain a rough estimate of the dominant…
Let $\{P_n \}_{n\ge0}$ be a sequence of monic orthogonal polynomials with respect to a quasi--definite linear functional $u$ and $\{Q_n \}_{n\ge0}$ a sequence of polynomials defined by $$Q_n(x)=P_n(x)+s_n P_{n-1}(x)+t_n P_{n-2}(x),\quad…
We prove quasi-polynomiality for monotone and strictly monotone orbifold Hurwitz numbers. The second enumerative problem is also known as enumeration of a special kind of Grothendieck's dessins d'enfants or $r$-hypermaps. These statements…
In this thesis, we present and apply the isomonodromy method (or isomonodromic method) to the study of quasinormal modes (QNMs), more precisely, we consider the analysis of modes that are associated with linear perturbations in two distinct…
The conjecture of Valent about the type of Jacobi matrices with polynomially growing weights is proved.
This article studies bivariate multiple orthogonal polynomials of the mixed type on the step-line. The analysis is based on the LU factorization of a moment matrix specifically adapted to this framework. The orthogonality and…
The ringdown signal following a black hole (BH) merger can be modeled as a superposition of BH quasinormal modes (QNMs), offering a clean setup for testing gravitational theories. In particular, detecting multiple QNMs enables consistency…
Quadratic matrix equations of the kind $A_1X^2+A_0X+A_{-1}=X$ are encountered in the analysis of Quasi--Birth-Death stochastic processes where the solution of interest is the minimal nonnegative solution $G$. In many queueing models,…
The classical binomial process has been studied by \citet{jakeman} (and the references therein) and has been used to characterize a series of radiation states in quantum optics. In particular, he studied a classical birth-death process…
New bispectral polynomials orthogonal on a quadratic bi-lattice are obtained from a truncation of Wilson polynomials. Recurrence relation and difference equation are provided. The recurrence coefficients can be encoded in a perturbed…
In general relativity, when two black holes merge they produce a rotating (Kerr) black hole remnant. According to perturbation theory, the remnant emits "ringdown" radiation: a superposition of exponentials with characteristic complex…
Perturbations of black holes, initially considered in the context of possible observations of astrophysical effects, have been studied for the past ten years in string theory, brane-world models and quantum gravity. Through the famous…
This work is a thorough investigation of skew-orthogonal polynomials with respect to a quartic Freud weight. We provide an explicit method to evaluate skew-orthogonal polynomials of any degree as linear combinations of orthogonal…
We introduce two q-analogues of the 2D-Hermite polynomials which are functions of two complex variables. We derive explicit formulas, orthogonality relations, raising and lowering operator relations, generating functions, and Rodrigues…
Orthogonal and quasi-orthogonal matrices have a long history of use in digital image processing, digital and wireless communications, cryptography and many other areas of computer science and coding theory. The practical benefits of using…
We suggest and describe how to analyze new types of experiments that would test a proposed model of the quantum measurement process. That model produces the Born Rule as a corollary, and so agrees with conventional quantum predictions. The…
We discuss the (re-)construction of quasiprobability representations from generic measurements, including noisy ones. Based on the measurement under study, quasiprobabilities and the associated concept of nonclassicality are introduced. A…
The relation between the spectral decomposition of a self-adjoint operator which is realizable as a higher order recurrence operator and matrix-valued orthogonal polynomials is investigated. A general construction of such operators from…
