We study skew-orthogonal polynomials with respect to the weight function $\exp[-2V(x)]$, with $V(x)=\sum_{K=1}^{2d}(u_{K}/{K})x^{K}$, $u_{2d} > 0$, $d > 0$. A finite subsequence of such skew-orthogonal polynomials arising in the study of…
The theory of bi-orthogonal polynomials on the unit circle is developed for a general class of weights leading to systems of recurrence relations and derivatives of the polynomials and their associated functions, and to…
The orthogonality relations of multivariate Krawtchouk polynomials are discussed. In case of two variables, the necessary and sufficient conditions of orthogonality is given by Gr\"unbaum and Rahman in [SIGMA 6 (2010), 090, 12 pages,…
We connect two important conjectures in the theory of knot polynomials. The first one is the property Al_R(q) = Al_{[1]}(q^{|R|}) for all single hook Young diagrams R, which is known to hold for all knots. The second conjecture claims that…
The direct or algorithmic approach for the Jacobian problem, consisting of the direct construction of the inverse polynomials is proposed. The so called principle and derived Jacobi conditions are proposed and discussed. The algorithmic…
Celebrated work of Jerrum, Sinclair, and Vigoda has established that the permanent of a {0,1} matrix can be approximated in randomized polynomial time by using a rapidly mixing Markov chain. A separate strand of the literature has pursued…
We develop a general theory for Markov chains whose transition probabilities are the coefficients of descent operators on combinatorial Hopf algebras. These model the breaking-then-recombining of combinational objects. Examples include the…
Given any unoriented link diagram, a group of new knot invariants are constructed. Each of them satisfies a generalized 4 term skein relation. The coefficients of each invariant is from a commutative ring. Homomorphisms and representations…
We develop a unified construction of matrix-valued orthogonal polynomials associated with discrete weights, yielding bispectral sequences as eigenfunctions of second-order difference operators. This general framework extends the discrete…
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…
Markov chains for probability distributions related to matrix product states and 1D Hamiltonians are introduced. With appropriate 'inverse temperature' schedules, these chains can be combined into a random approximation scheme for ground…
We investigate polynomials, called m-polynomials, whose generator polynomial has coefficients that can be arranged as a matrix, where q is a positive integer greater than one. Orthogonality relations are established and coefficients are…
A superintegrable finite model of the quantum isotropic oscillator in two dimensions is introduced. It is defined on a uniform lattice of triangular shape. The constants of the motion for the model form an SU(2) symmetry algebra. It is…
We study a linear spin chain which was originally introduced by Shi et al. [Phys. Rev. A 71 (2005), 032309, 5 pages], for which the coupling strength contains a parameter $\alpha$ and depends on the parity of the chain site. Extending the…
We consider dual polynomials of the multi-indexed ($q$-)Racah orthogonal polynomials. The $M$-indexed ($q$-)Racah polynomials satisfy the second order difference equations and various $1+2L$ ($L\geq M+1$) term recurrence relations with…
We study biorthogonal functions related to basic hypergeometric integrals with coupled continuous and discrete components. Such integrals appear as superconformal indices for three-dimensional quantum field theories and also in the context…
We provide a sharp nonasymptotic analysis of the rates of convergence for some standard multivariate Markov chains using spectral techniques. All chains under consideration have multivariate orthogonal polynomial as eigenfunctions. Our…
We derive closed formulas for mean values of all powers of r in nonrelativistic and relativistic Coulomb problems in terms of the Hahn and Chebyshev polynomials of a discrete variable. A short review on special functions and solution of the…
Multiple orthogonal polynomials are a generalization of orthogonal polynomials in which the orthogonality is distributed among a number of orthogonality weights. They appear in random matrix theory in the form of special determinantal point…
Six families of generalized hypergeometric series in a variable $x$ and an arbitrary number of parameters are considered. Each of them is indexed by an integer $n$. Linear recurrence relations in $n$ relate these functions and their product…
