In 1995, Ismail and Masson introduced orthogonal polynomials of types \( R_I \) and \( R_{II} \), which are defined by specific three-term recurrence relations with additional conditions. Recently, Kim and Stanton found a combinatorial…
Three $q$-versions of Lommel polynomials are studied. Included are explicit representations, recurrences, continued fractions, and connections to associated Askey--Wilson polynomials. Combinatorial results are emphasized, including a…
The linearization coefficients for a set of orthogonal polynomials are given explicitly as a weighted sum of combinatorial objects. Positivity theorems of Askey and Szwarc are corollaries of these expansions.
Orthogonal polynomials on the unit circle (OPUC for short) are a family of polynomials whose orthogonality is given by integration over the unit circle in the complex plane. There are combinatorial studies on the moments of various types of…
This work explores classical discrete multiple orthogonal polynomials, including Hahn, Meixner of the first and second kinds, Kravchuk, and Charlier polynomials, with an arbitrary number of weights. Explicit expressions for the recursion…
In the case of two combinatorial polynomials, we show that they can exhibited as moments of paramaterized families of orthogonal polynomials, and hence derive their Hankel transforms. Exponential Riordan arrays are the main vehicles used…
We review the properties of six families of orthogonal polynomials that form the main bulk of the collection called the Askey--Wilson scheme of polynomials. We give connection coefficients between them as well as the so-called linearization…
New formulas for the nth moment of the Askey-Wilson polynomials are given. These are derived using analytic techniques, and by considering three combinatorial models for the moments: Motzkin paths, matchings, and staircase tableaux. A…
We study the higher-order Euler polynomials and give the corresponding monic orthogonal polynomials, which are Meixner-Pollaczek polynomials with certain arguments and constant factors. Moreover, through a general connection between moments…
This paper is a short introduction to orthogonal polynomials, both the general theory and some special classes. It ends with some remarks about the usage of computer algebra for this theory.
We identify the Atkin polynomials in terms of associated Jacobi polynomials. Our identificationthen takes advantage of the theory of orthogonal polynomials and their asymptotics to establish many new properties of the Atkin polynomials.…
In this survey, different aspects of the theory of orthogonal polynomials of one (real or complex) variable are reviewed. Orthogonal polynomials on the unit circle are not discussed.
Limiting cases are studied of the Koornwinder-Macdonald multivariable generalization of the Askey-Wilson polynomials. We recover recently and not so recently introduced families of hypergeometric orthogonal polynomials in several variables…
The theory of polynomials orthogonal with respect to one inner product is classical. We discuss the extension of this theory to multiple inner products. Examples include the Lam\'e and Heine-Stieltjes polynomials.
We discuss quadratic transformations for orthogonal polynomials in one and two variables. In the one-variable case we list many (or all) quadratic transformations between families in the Askey scheme or $q$-Askey scheme. In the two-variable…
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…
A recent result of S.-Y. Lee and M. Yang states that the planar orthogonal polynomials orthogonal with respect to a modified Gaussian measure are multiple orthogonal polynomials of type II on a contour in the complex plane. We show that the…
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.
We relate the combinatorics of periodic generalized Dyck and Motzkin paths to the cluster coefficients of particles obeying generalized exclusion statistics, and obtain explicit expressions for the counting of paths with a fixed number of…
