Unlike in complex linear operator theory, polynomials or, more generally, Laurent series in antilinear operators cannot be modelled with complex analysis. There exists a corresponding function space, though, surfacing in spectral mapping…
In this paper we derive new identities satisfied by Chebyshev polynomials of the first kind and big q-Jacobi polynomials. An immediate benefit of the derived identities is the achievement of closed-form expressions for the Laurent…
We study a family of orthogonal polynomials which satisfy (apart from a 3-term recurrence relation) an eigenvalue equation involving a third order differential operator of Dunkl-type. The orthogonality measure of these polynomials consists…
Quasiperiodic Jacobi operators arise as mathematical models of quasicrystals and in more general studies of structures exhibiting aperiodic order. The spectra of these self-adjoint operators can be quite exotic, such as Cantor sets, and…
We show asymptotic expansions of the eigenfunctions of certain perturbations of the Jacobi operator in a bounded interval, deducing equiconvergence results between expansions with respect to the associated orthonormal basis and expansions…
New convolution identities for orthogonal polynomials belonging to the $q=-1$ analog of the Askey-scheme are obtained. A specialization of the Chihara polynomials will play a central role as the eigenfunctions of a special element of the…
We show that any differential operator of the form $L(y)=\sum_{k=0}^{k=N} a_{k}(x) y^{(k)}$, where $a_k$ is a real polynomial of degree $\leq k$, has all real eigenvalues in the space of polynomials of degree at most n, for all n. The…
We study Heun's differential equation in the case that one of the singularities is apparent. In particular we conjecture a relationship with generalized hypergeometric differential equation and establish it in some cases. We apply our…
We construct noncomplete orthogonal systems on the ray $[0,\infty)$ that look like Jacobi polynomials $P_n(x)$ after a shift of degree $n\mapsto n+a$, where $a$ is a real constant. These systems are solutions of some exotic Sturm-Liouville…
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…
For a large class of integral operators or second order differential operators, their isospectral (or cospectral) operators are constructed explicitly in terms of $h$-transform (duality). This provides us a simple way to extend the known…
Below the normalized weighted reciprocal of the Christoffel function with respect to exceptional Jacobi polynomials is investigated. It is proved that it tends to the equilibrium measure of the interval of orthogonality in weak-star sense.…
The relation between the spectral decomposition of a self-adjoint operator which is realizable as a higher order recurrence operator and matrix-valued orthogonal polynomials is investigated. A general construction of such operators from…
A well-known characterization of Jordan vectors of a matrix polynomial $L(z)$ is generalized to a characterization of Jordan vectors of the operator-valued function $Q(z)$ at an eigenvalue $\alpha \in \mathbb{C}$. The results are then…
In the present work, we investigate certain algebraic and differential properties of the orthogonal polynomials with respect to a discrete-continuous Sobolev-type inner product defined in terms of the Jacobi measure.
The $J$-matrix method is extended to difference and $q$-difference operators and is applied to several explicit differential, difference, $q$-difference and second order Askey-Wilson type operators. The spectrum and the spectral measures…
A matrix polynomial is a polynomial in a complex variable $\lambda$ with coefficients in $n \times n$ complex matrices. The spectral curve of a matrix polynomial $P(\lambda)$ is the curve $\{ (\lambda, \mu) \in \mathbb{C}^2 \mid…
We show that the bicovariant first order differential calculi on a factorisable semisimple quantum group are in 1-1 correspondence with irreducible representations $V$ of the quantum group enveloping algebra. The corresponding calculus is…
Following the pioneering work of Duistermaat and Gr\"unbaum, we call a family $\{p_n(x)\}_{n=0}^{\infty}$ of polynomials bispectral, if the polynomials are simultaneously eigenfunctions of two commutative algebras of operators: one…
In this paper, we obtain geometric upper bounds for the first eigenvalue $\lambda_1(J)$ of the Jacobi operator for both closed and compact with boundary hypersurfaces having constant mean curvature (CMC). As an application, we derive new…
