We establish an integral representations of a right inverses of the Askey-Wilson finite difference operator in an $L^2$ space weighted by the weight function of the continuous $q$-Jacobi polynomials. We characterize the eigenvalues of this…
The two linearly independent solutions of the three-term recurrence relation of the associated Askey-Wilson polynomials, found by Ismail and Rahman in [22], are slightly modified so as to make it transparent that these functions satisfy a…
An explicit structure relation for Askey-Wilson polynomials is given. This involves a divided q-difference operator which is skew symmetric with respect to the Askey-Wilson inner product and which sends polynomials of degree n to…
We introduce three one-parameter semigroups of operators and determine their spectra. Two of them are fractional integrals associated with the Askey-Wilson operator. We also study these families as families of positive linear approximation…
We use the Poisson kernel of the continuous $q$-Hermite polynomials to introduces families of integral operators, which are semigroups of linear operators. We describe the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of one family of operators. The…

A special Infeld-Hall factorization is given for the Askey-Wilson second order q-difference operator. It is then shown how to deducd a generalization of the corresponding Askey-Wilson polynomials.
The sieved Jacobi polynomials have been introduced by Askey. These can be obtained from conveniently taking $q$ to be a root of unity in the Askey-Wilson polynomials. The question of determining if they are eigenfunctions of some operator…
Connection coefficient formulas for special functions describe change of basis matrices under a parameter change, for bases formed by the special functions. Such formulas are related to branching questions in representation theory. The…
In this paper we describe two pairs of raising/lowering operators for Askey-Wilson polynomials, which result from constructions involving very different techniques. The first technique is quite elementary, and depends only on the…
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…
It is well known that the classical families of orthogonal polynomials are characterized as eigenfunctions of a second order linear differential/difference operator. In this paper we present a study of classical orthogonal polynomials in a…
The paper deals with Sturm-Liouville-type operators with frozen argument of the form $\ell y:=-y''(x)+q(x)y(a),$ $y^{(\alpha)}(0)=y^{(\beta)}(1)=0,$ where $\alpha,\beta\in\{0,1\}$ and $a\in[0,1]$ is an arbitrary fixed rational number. Such…
In this paper, we formulate a regular $q$-fractional Sturm--Liouville problem (qFSLP) which includes the left-sided Riemann--Liouville and the right-sided Caputo q-fractional derivatives of the same order $\alpha$, $\alpha\in (0,1)$. The…
This work is devoted to the study of a Liouville comparison principle for entire weak solutions of quasilinear differential inequalities of the form $A(u) + |u|^{q-1}u \leq A(v) + |v|^{q-1}v$ on ${\Bbb R}^n$, where $n\geq 1$, $q$ is…
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…
Ordinary differential equations and boundary value problems arise in many aspects of mathematical physics. Chebyshev differential equation is one special case of the Sturm-Liouville boundary value problem. Generating function, recursive…
We revisit basics of classical Sturm-Liouville theory and, as an application, recover Bochner's classification of second order ODEs with polynomial coefficients and polynomial solutions by a new argument. We also outline how a wider class…
