Let $F_{BC}(\lambda,k;t)$ be the Heckman-Opdam hypergeometric function of type BC with multiplicities $k=(k_1,k_2,k_3)$ and weighted half sum $\rho(k)$ of positive roots. We prove that $F_{BC}(\lambda+\rho(k),k;t)$ converges for…

Persymmetric Jacobi matrices are invariant under reflection with respect to the anti-diagonal. The associated orthogonal polynomials have distinctive properties that are discussed. They are found in particular to be also orthogonal on the…
We present an informal review of results on asymptotics of orthogonal polynomials, stressing their spectral aspects and similarity in two cases considered. They are polynomials orthonormal on a finite union of disjoint intervals with…
The spectral decomposition for an explicit second-order differential operator $T$ is determined. The spectrum consists of a continuous part with multiplicity two, a continuous part with multiplicity one, and a finite discrete part with…
We study the action of hypergeometric shift operators on the Heckman-Opdam hypergeometric functions associated with the $BC_n$ type root system and some negative multiplicities. Those hypergeometric functions are connected to the…

The aim of this paper is to determine all irreducible spherical functions of the pair (G,K)=(SU(n+1),U(n)), where the highest weight of their K-types are of the form (m+l,...,m+l,m,...,m). Instead of looking at a spherical function \Phi of…
