We give positive answer to two conjectures posed by M. E. H Ismail in his monograph [Classical and quantum orthogonal polynomials in one variable, Cambridge University Press, 2005].
We solve the connection coefficient problem between the Al-Salam-Chihara polynomials and the q-Hermite polynomials, and we use the resulting identity to answer a question from probability theory. We also derive the distribution of some…
We describe various aspects of the Al-Salam-Chihara $q$-Laguerre polynomials. These include combinatorial descriptions of the polynomials, the moments, the orthogonality relation and a combinatorial interpretation of the linearization…
We present new proofs of two identities arising in the work of Mourad Ismail using partition theoretic generating function interpretations.
An identity involving basic Bessel functions and Al-Salam--Chihara polynomials is proved for which we recover Graf's addition formula for the Bessel function as the base $q$ tends to $1$. The corresponding product formula is derived. Some…
The Jacobi polynomial has been advocated by many authors as a useful tool to evolve non-singlet structure functions to higher $Q^2$. In this work, it is found that the convergence of the polynomial sum is not absolute, as there is always a…
The Al-Salam-Chihara polynomials are an important family of orthogonal polynomials in one variable $x$ depending on 3 parameters $\alpha$, $\beta$ and $q$. They are closely connected to a model from statistical mechanics called the…
We first show how one can obtain Al-Salam--Chihara polynomials, continuous dual $q$-Hahn polynomials, and Askey--Wilson polynomials from the little $q$-Laguerre and the little $q$-Jacobi polynomials by using special transformations. This…
We describe various aspects of the Al-Salam-Carlitz $q$-Charlier polynomials. These include combinatorial descriptions of the moments, the orthogonality relation, and the linearization coefficients.
In this paper we state some conjectures about q-Fibonacci polynomials which for q=1 reduce to well-known results about Fibonacci numbers and Fibonacci polynomials.
In this note, we confirm two conjectural supercongruences on double sums of binomial coefficients due to El Bachraoui.
Explicit solutions for the three-term recurrence satisfied by associated continuous dual $q$-Hahn polynomials are obtained. A minimal solution is identified and an explicit expression for the related continued fraction is derived. The…
I settle a conjecture of Andrews related to the Alladi-Schur polynomials. In addition, I give further relations and implications to two families of polynomials related to the Alladi-Schur polynomials.
Recently, Z.-W. Sun introduced two kinds of polynomials related to the Delannoy numbers, and proved some supercongruences on sums involving those polynomials. We deduce new summation formulas for squares of those polynomials and use them to…
The tensor product of a positive and a negative discrete series representation of the quantum algebra U_q(su(1,1)) decomposes as a direct integral over the principal unitary series representations. Discrete terms can appear, and these terms…
We present a more general proof that cyclotomic polynomials are irreducible over Q and other number fields that meet certain conditions. The proof provides a new perspective that ties together well-known results, as well as some new…
We analyze a possible minimal counterexample to the Jacobian Conjecture $P,Q$ with $\gcd(deg(P),deg(Q))=16$ and show that its existence depends only on the existence of solutions for a certain Abel differential equation of the second kind.
The symmetric Al-Salam--Chihara polynomials for $q>1$ are associated with an indeterminate moment problem. There is a self-adjoint second order difference operator on $\ell^2(\Z)$ to which these polynomials are eigenfunctions. We determine…
We prove the existence of stationary random fields with linear regressions for $q>1$ and thus close an open question posed by W. Bryc et al.. We prove this result by describing a discrete 1 dimensional conditional distribution and then…
Let $(P, Q)$ be a pair of Jacobian polynomials. We can show that $ <P, Q>+l+2g(P)-2= 0= <P, [P,Q]>$, where $<f, g>$ is the intersection number of $f, g\in \CC[x, y]$ in the affine plane, $l$ is the number of branch at point at infinity and…
