This paper is a short introduction to orthogonal polynomials, both the general theory and some special classes. It ends with some remarks about the usage of computer algebra for this theory.
New nonlinear connection formulae of the q-orthogonal polynomials, such continuous q-Laguerre, continuous big q-Hermite, q-Meixner-Pollaczek and q-Gegenbauer polynomials, in terms of their respective classical analogues are obtained using a…
Three specializations of a set of orthogonal polynomials with ``8 different q's'' are given. The polynomials are identified as $q$-analogues of Laguerre polynomials, and the combinatorial interpretation of the moments give infinitely many…
Cyclotomic polylogarithms are reviewed and new results concerning the special constants that occur are presented. This also allows some comments on previous literature results using PSLQ.
The purpose of this note is to characterize those orthogonal polynomials sequences $(P_n)_{n\geq0}$ for which $$ \pi(x)\mathcal{D}_q P_n(x)=(a_n x+b_n)P_n(x)+c_n P_{n-1}(x),\quad n=0,1,2,\dots, $$ where $\mathcal{D}_q$ is the Askey-Wilson…
We introduce a new family of special functions, namely $q$-Charlier multiple orthogonal polynomials. These polynomials are orthogonal with respect to $q$-analogues of Poisson distributions. We focus our attention on their structural…
In this overview paper a direct approach to q-Chebyshev polynomials and their elementary properties is given. Special emphasis is placed on analogies with the classical case. There are also some connections with q-tangent and q-Genocchi…
We introduce the $q$-analogue of the type $A$ Dunkl operators, which are a set of degree--lowering operators on the space of polynomials in $n$ variables. This allows the construction of raising/lowering operators with a simple action on…
We introduce sequences of functions orthogonal on a finite interval: proper orthogonal rational functions, orthogonal exponential functions, orthogonal logarithmic functions, and transmuted orthogonal polynomials
We study a family of "classical" orthogonal polynomials which satisfy (apart from a 3-term recurrence relation) an eigenvalue problem with a differential operator of Dunkl-type. These polynomials can be obtained from the little $q$-Jacobi…
In this paper, by introducing new matrix operations and using a specific inverse relation, we establish the dual forms of the orthogonality relations for some well-known discrete and continuous $q$-orthogonal polynomials from the…
In his monograph [Classical and quantum orthogonal polynomials in one variable, Cambridge University Press, 2005 (paperback edition 2009)], Ismail conjectured that certain structure relations involving the Askey-Wilson operator characterize…
We show that the method of separation of variables gives a natural generalisation of integral relations for classical special functions of one variable. The approach is illustrated by giving a new proof of the ``quadratic'' integral…
In this paper, we state some $q$-analogues of the famous Ramanujan's Master Theorem. As applications, some values of Jackson's $q$-integrals involving $q$-special functions are computed.
As an extension to the Laplace and Sumudu transforms the classical Natural transform was proposed to solve certain fluid flow problems. In this paper, we investigate q-analogues of the q-Natural transform of some special functions. We…
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…
An analogue of Taylor's formula, which arises by substituting the classical derivative by a divided difference operator of Askey-Wilson type, is developed here. We study the convergence of the associated Taylor series. Our results…
The study of $-1$ orthogonal polynomials viewed as $q =-1$ limits of the $q$-orthogonal polynomials is pursued. This paper present the continuous polynomials part of the $-1$ analog of the $q$-Askey scheme. A compendium of the properties of…
It is shown that some q-analogues of the Fibonacci and Lucas polynomials lead to q-analogues of the Chebyshev polynomials which retain most of their elementary properties.
A class of quantum analogues of compact symmetric spaces of classical type is introduced by means of constant solutions to the reflection equations. Their zonal spherical functions are discussed in connection with $q$-orthogonal…
