We introduce a generalization $\pounds_{d}^{(\alpha)}(X)$ of the finite polylogarithms $\pounds_{d}^{(0)}(X)=\pounds_d(X)=\sum_{k=1}^{p-1}X^k/k^d$, in characteristic $p$, which depends on a parameter $\alpha$. The special case…
We consider random polynomials of the form $G_n(z):= \sum_{|\alpha|\leq n} \xi^{(n)}_{\alpha}p_{n,\alpha}(z)$ where $\{\xi^{(n)}_{\alpha}\}_{|\alpha|\leq n}$ are i.i.d. (complex) random variables and $\{p_{n,\alpha}\}_{|\alpha|\leq n}$ form…
We investigate type I multiple orthogonal polynomials on $r$ intervals which have a common point at the origin and endpoints at the $r$ roots of unity $\omega^j$, $j=0,1,\ldots,r-1$, with $\omega = \exp(2\pi i/r)$. We use the weight…
Recurrence coefficients of semi-classical orthogonal polynomials (orthogonal polynomials related to a weight function $w$ such that $w'/w$ is a rational function) are shown to be solutions of non linear differential equations with respect…
We look at some extensions of the Stieltjes-Wigert weight functions. First we replace the variable x by x^2 in a family of weight functions given by Askey in 1989 and we show that the recurrence coefficients of the corresponding orthogonal…

We investigate the global density of zeros of generalized Hermite orthogonal polynomials, subject to certain truncated conditions on its weight. We shall given explicitly the global density of zeros under some asymptotic conditions on the…
Orthogonal polynomials for a family of weight functions on $[-1,1]^2$, $$ \CW_{\a,\b,\g}(x,y) = |x+y|^{2\a+1} |x-y|^{2\b+1} (1-x^2)^\g(1-y^2)^{\g}, $$ are studied and shown to be related to the Koornwinder polynomials defined on the region…
In this paper we compute the asymptotic behavior of the recurrence coefficients for polynomials orthogonal with respect to a logarithmic weight $w(x){\rm d}x = \log \frac{2k}{1-x}{\rm d}x$ on $(-1,1)$, $k > 1$, and verify a conjecture of…
In 1995 Magnus posed a conjecture about the asymptotics of the recurrence coefficients of orthogonal polynomials with respect to the weights on [-1,1] of the form $$ (1-x)^\alpha (1+x)^\beta |x_0 - x|^\gamma \times a jump at x_0, $$ with…
We discuss the relationship between the recurrence coefficients of orthogonal polynomials with respect to a semi-classical Laguerre weight and classical solutions of the fourth Painlev\'e equation. We show that the coefficients in these…
A new characterization of the generalized Hermite polynomials and of the orthogonal polynomials with respect to the maesure $|x|^\g (1-x^2)^{\a-1/2}dx$ is derived which is based on a "reversing property" of the coefficients in the…
There is a two-component log-gas system with Boltzmann factor which provides an interpolation between the eigenvalue PDF for $\beta = 1$ and $\beta = 4$ invariant random matrix ensembles. The solvability of this log-gas system relies on the…
We say that the polynomial sequence $(Q^{(\lambda)}_n)$ is a semiclassical Sobolev polynomial sequence when it is orthogonal with respect to the inner product $$ <p, r>_S=<{{\bf u}} ,{p\, r}> +\lambda <{{\bf u}}, {{\mathscr D}p \,{\mathscr…
We give four examples of families of orthogonal polynomials for which the coefficients in the recurrence relation satisfy a discrete Painlev\'e equation. The first example deals with Freud weights $|x|^\rho \exp(-|x|^m)$ on the real line,…
We obtain asymptotics of polynomials satisfying the orthogonality relations $$ \int_{\mathbb{R}} z^k P_n(z; t , N) \mathrm{e}^{-N \left(\frac{1}{4}z^4 + \frac{t}{2}z^2 \right)} \mathrm{d} z = 0 \quad \text{ for } \quad k = 0, 1, ..., n-1,…
In this paper, we extend our investigation into semiclassical multiple discrete orthogonal polynomials by considering an arbitrary number of weights. We derive multiple versions of the Toda equations and the Laguerre-Freud equations for the…
New sequences of orthogonal polynomials with respect to the weight functions $e^{-x} \rho_\nu(x),\ e^{- 1/x} x^{-1} \rho_{\nu} (x), \rho_{\nu}(x)= 2 x^{\nu/2} K_\nu(2\sqrt x),\ x >0, \nu \in \mathbb{R}$, where $K_\nu(z)$ is the modified…
