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…
Every classical orthogonal polynomial system $p_n(x)$ satisfies a three-term recurrence relation of the type \[ p_{n+1}(x)=(A_nx+B_n)p_n(x)-C_np_{n-1}(x)~ (n=0,1,2,\ldots, p_{-1}\equiv 0), \] with $C_nA_nA_{n-1}>0$. Moreover, Favard's…
We consider orthogonal polynomials $\{p_{n,N}(x)\}_{n=0}^{\infty}$ on the real line with respect to a weight $w(x)=e^{-NV(x)}$ and in particular the asymptotic behaviour of the coefficients $a_{n,N}$ and $b_{n,N}$ in the three term…
Boelen et al. (2010) deduced a $q$-discrete Painlev\'e equation satisfied by the recurrence coefficients of orthogonal polynomials and conjectured that the equation had a unique positive solution. We prove their conjecture and discuss…
In this work we show that the $ N\times N $ Toeplitz determinants with the symbols $ z^{\mu}\exp(-{1/2}\sqrt{t}(z+1/z)) $ and $ (1+z)^{\mu}(1+1/z)^{\nu}\exp(tz) $ -- known $\tau$-functions for the \PIIIa and \PV systems -- are characterised…
We consider the polynomials $\phi_n(z)= \kappa_n (z^n+ b_{n-1} z^{n-1}+ >...)$ orthonormal with respect to the weight $\exp(\sqrt{\lambda} (z+ 1/z)) dz/2 \pi i z$ on the unit circle in the complex plane. The leading coefficient $\kappa_n$…
We consider matrix orthogonal polynomials related to Bessel type matrices of weights that can be defined in terms of a given matrix Pearson equation. From a Riemann-Hilbert problem we derive first and second order differential relations for…
In this article explicit formulas for the recurrence equation p_{n+1}(x) = (A_n x + B_n) p_n(x) - C_n p_{n-1}(x) and the derivative rules sigma(x) p'_n(x) = alpha_n p_{n+1}(x) + beta_n p_n(x) + gamma_n p_{n-1}(x) and sigma(x) p'_n(x) =…
Our goal is to find asymptotic formulas for orthonormal polynomials $P_{n}(z)$ with the recurrence coefficients slowly stabilizing as $n\to\infty$. To that end, we develop spectral theory of Jacobi operators with long-range coefficients and…
In this paper we present a brief description of a ladder operator formalism applied to orthogonal polynomials with discontinuous weights. The two coefficient functions, A_n(z) and B_n(z), appearing in the ladder operators satisfy the two…
In this paper, we focus on the relationship between the d-P$\left(A_{3}^{(1)}/D_{5}^{(1)}\right)$ equations and a time-evolved Jacobi weight, $w(x)=x^{\alpha}(1-x)^{\beta}\mathrm{e}^{-sx}$, $x\in[0,1]$, $\alpha,\beta > -1$, $s>0$. From the…
We consider orthogonal polynomials on the unit circle associated with certain semi-classical weight functions. This means that the Pearson-type differential equations satisfied by these weight functions involve two polynomials of degree at…
We consider several examples of nonautonomous systems of difference equations coming from semi-classical orthogonal polynomials via recurrence coefficients and ladder operators, with respect to various generalisations of Laguerre and…
The Painlev\'e classification is one of the central problems in analytics theory of differential equations rooted in the XIX century. Although it saw many significant advances in analyzing certain classes of equations, the classification…
Recursive algebraic construction of two infinite families of polynomials in $n$ variables is proposed as a uniform method applicable to every semisimple Lie group of rank $n$. Its result recognizes Chebyshev polynomials of the first and…

In this paper we study the simplest deformation on a sequence of orthogonal polynomials, namely, replacing the original (or reference) weight $w_0(x)$ defined on an interval by $w_0(x)e^{-tx}.$ It is a well-known fact that under such a…
We investigate generalizations of the Charlier polynomials on the lattice $\mathbb{N}$, on the shifted lattice $\mathbb{N}+1-\beta$ and on the bi-lattice $\mathbb{N}\cup (\mathbb{N}+1-\beta)$. We show that the coefficients of the three-term…
The Painlev\'e equations possess transcendental solutions $y(t)$ with special initial values that are symmetric under rotation or reflection in the complex $t$-plane. They correspond to monodromy problems that are explicitly solvable in…
