Using the modified factorization method employed by Mielnik for the harmonic oscillator, we show that isospectral structures associated with a second order operator $H$, can always be constructed whenever $H$ could be factored, or exist…

Lecture notes for one of the courses at the OPSFA Summerschool 6, July 11-15, 2016. All the results in these notes have appeared in the literature. Many special functions are eigenfunctions to explicit operators, such as difference and…
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…

Many well-known positive linear operators (like Bernstein, Baskakov, Sz\'{a}sz-Mirakjan) are constructed by using specific fundamental functions. The sums of the squared fundamental functions have been objects of study in some recent…
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…
