A comparison is made between bispectral operator pairs and dual pairs of isomonodromic deformation equations. Through examples, it is shown how operators belonging to rank one bispectral algebras may be viewed equivalently as defining…
The Darboux process, also known by many other names, played a very important role in some extremely enjoyable joint work that Hans and I did 25 years ago. I revisit a version of this problem in a case when scalars are replaced by matrices,…

We study discrete isospectral symmetries for the classical acoustic spectral problem in spatial dimensions one and two, by developing a Darboux (Moutard) transformation formalism for this problem. The procedure follows the steps, similar to…
This paper considers Darboux transformations of a bispectral operator which preserve its bispectrality. A sufficient condition for this to occur is given, and applied to the case of generalized Airy operators of arbitrary order $r>1$. As a…
The iterations are studied of the Darboux transformation for the generalized Schroedinger operator. The applications to the Dym and Camassa-Holm equations are considered.
We propose to build a combinatorial invariant, called the spectral monodromy, from the spectrum of a single non-selfadjoint h-pseudodifferential operator with two degrees of freedom in the semi-classical limit. Our inspiration comes from…
The aim of this paper is to solve the bispectral problem for bispectral operators whose order is a prime number. More precisely we give a complete list of such bispectral operators. We use systematically the operator approach and in…
We have been working in many aspects of the problem of analyzing, understanding and solving ordinary differential equations (first and second order). As we have extensively mentioned, while working in the Darboux type methods, the most…
The Matrix Bochner Problem aims to classify which weight matrices have their sequence of orthogonal polynomials as eigenfunctions of a second-order differential operator. Casper and Yakimov, in [4], demonstrated that, under certain…
In the theory of matrix-valued orthogonal polynomials, there exists a longstanding problem known as the Matrix Bochner Problem: the classification of all $N \times N$ weight matrices $W(x)$ such that the associated orthogonal polynomials…
A classical result due to Bochner classifies the orthogonal polynomials on the real line which are common eigenfunctions of a second order linear differential operator. We settle a natural version of the Bochner problem on the unit circle…
We construct families of bispectral difference operators of the form a(n)T + b(n) + c(n) T^{-1} where T is the shift operator. They are obtained as discrete Darboux transformations from appropriate extensions of Jacobi operators. We…
In this paper we implement the Darboux transformation, as well as an analogue of Crum's theorem, for a discrete version of Schr\"odinger equation. The technique is based on the use of first order operators intertwining two difference…
Given a non-zero polynomial $P(x)$, we study Fuchsian differential operators of the form $L=\partial_x^2-u(x)$ such that for all $\lambda\in\mathbb{C}$ the operator $L+\lambda P(x)$ is monodromy free. We prove that all such operators are…
In the KdV context we put forward a continuous version of the binary Darboux transformation (aka the double commutation method). Our approach is based on the Riemann-Hilbert problem and yields a new explicit formula for perturbation of the…
