It has been recently discovered that exceptional families of Sturm-Liouville orthogonal polynomials exist, that generalize in some sense the classical polynomials of Hermite, Laguerre and Jacobi. In this paper we show how new families of…
Exceptional orthogonal polynomials are families of orthogonal polynomials that arise as solutions of Sturm-Liouville eigenvalue problems. They generalize the classical families of Hermite, Laguerre, and Jacobi polynomials by allowing for…
We show that for a natural polynomial Hamiltonian system the existence of a single Darboux polynomial (a partial polynomial first integral) is equivalent to the existence of an additional first integral functionally independent with the…
We put together the ingredients for an efficient operator calculus based on Krawtchouk polynomials, including Krawtchouk transforms and corresponding convolution structure which provide an inherently discrete alternative to Fourier…
We adapt the notion of the Darboux transformation to the context of polynomial Sturm-Liouville problems. As an application, we characterize the recently described $X_m$ Laguerre polynomials in terms of an isospectral Darboux transformation.…
In this work, we give some criteria that allow us to decide when two sequences of matrix-valued orthogonal polynomials are related via a Darboux transformation and to build explicitly such transformation. In particular, they allow us to see…
We construct a non-trivial type of 1-step exceptional Bannai-Ito polynomials which satisfy discrete orthogonality by using a generalized Darboux transformation. In this generalization, the Darboux transformed Bannai-Ito operator is directly…
We consider Lotka-Volterra systems in three dimensions depending on three real parameters. By using elementary algebraic methods we classify the Darboux polynomials (also known as second integrals) for such systems for various values of the…

Krawtchouk polynomials play an important role in coding theory and are also useful in graph theory and number theory. Although the basic properties of these polynomials are to some extent known, there is, to my knowledge, no detailed…
We show a method to construct isospectral deformations of classical orthogonal polynomials. The construction is based on confluent Darboux transformations, and it allows to construct Sturm-Liouville problems with polynomial eigenfunctions…
The Krawtchouck polynomials arise naturally in both coding theory and probability theory and have been studied extensively from these points of view. However, very little is known about their irreducibility and Galois properties. Just like…
Exceptional extensions of a class of Laurent biorthogonal polynomials (the so-called Hendriksen-van Rossum polynomials) have been presented by the authors recently. This is achieved through Darboux transformations of generalized eigenvalue…
Darboux Transformation, well known in second order differential operator theory, is applied here to the difference equation satisfied by the discrete hypergeometric polynomials(Charlier, Meixner-Krawchuk, Hahn).
Darboux transformations for polynomial perturbations of a real multivariate measure are found. The 1D Christoffel formula is extended to the multidimensional realm: multivariate orthogonal polynomials are expressed in terms of last…
A new interpretation and applications of the ``Diophantine'' and factorisation properties of {\em finite} orthogonal polynomials in the Askey scheme are explored. The corresponding twelve polynomials are the ($q$-)Racah, (dual, $q$-)Hahn,…

It was recently conjectured that every system of exceptional orthogonal polynomials is related to classical orthogonal polynomials by a sequence of Darboux transformations. In this paper we prove this conjecture, which paves the road to a…
