In this paper we study the generalized Bessel polynomials $y_n(x,a,b)$ (in the notation of Krall and Frink). Let $a>1$, $b\in(-1/3,1/3)\backslash\{ 0\}$. In this case we present the following positive continuous weights $p(\theta) =…

New differential-recurrence properties of dual Bernstein polynomials are given which follow from relations between dual Bernstein and orthogonal Hahn and Jacobi polynomials. Using these results, a fourth-order differential equation…
A new method of composition orthogonality is introduced. It is applied to generate new sequences of orthogonal polynomials and functions. In particular, classical orthogonal polynomials are interpreted in the sense of composition…
Over the last decade it has become clear that discrete Painlev\'e equations appear in a wide range of important mathematical and physical problems. Thus, the question of recognizing a given non-autonomous recurrence as a discrete Painlev\'e…
We consider orthogonal polynomials on the unit circle with respect to a weight which is a quotient of $q$-gamma functions. We show that the Verblunsky coefficients of these polynomials satisfy discrete Painlev\'e equations, in a Lax form,…
We revisit basics of classical Sturm-Liouville theory and, as an application, recover Bochner's classification of second order ODEs with polynomial coefficients and polynomial solutions by a new argument. We also outline how a wider class…
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 study the uniform asymptotics for the orthogonal polynomials with respect to weights composed of both absolutely continuous measure and discrete measure, by taking a special class of the sieved Pollazek Polynomials as an example. The…
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 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…
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…
We derive semiclassical asymptotics for the orthogonal polynomials P_n(z) on the line with respect to the exponential weight \exp(-NV(z)), where V(z) is a double-well quartic polynomial, in the limit when n, N \to \infty. We assume that…
We study the monic orthogonal polynomials with respect to a singularly perturbed Airy weight. By using Chen and Ismail's ladder operator approach, we derive a discrete system satisfied by the recurrence coefficients for the orthogonal…
In this paper the authors show how to use Riemann-Hilbert techniques to prove various results, some old, some new, in the theory of Toeplitz operators and orthogonal polynomials on the unit circle (OPUC's). There are four main results: the…
We present a generalization of multiple orthogonal polynomials of type I and type II, which we call multiple orthogonal polynomials of mixed type. Some basic properties are formulated, and a Riemann-Hilbert problem for the multiple…
