We introduce a bilateral extension of the continuous $q$-ultraspherical polynomials which we call bilateral $q$-ultraspherical functions. These functions are given as specific bilateral basic hypergeometric ${}_2\psi_2$ series, they are…
We derive and study expansions of and over the Askey--Wilson polynomials. We study these expansions and examine some limits to the continuous dual $q$-Hahn, Al-Salam--Chihara, continuous big $q$-Hermite and continuous $q$-Hermite…
A unified algebraic interpretation of both finite families of orthogonal polynomials and biorthogonal rational functions of $q$-Hahn type is provided. The approach relies on the meta $q$-Hahn algebra and its finite-dimensional bidiagonal…
It has been known since 2007 that the Wilson and Racah polynomials can be characterized as basis functions for irreducible representations of the quadratic symmetry algebra of the quantum superintegrable system on the 2-sphere,…
We prove a new Bailey-type transformation relating WP-Bailey pairs. We then use this transformation to derive a number of new 3- and 4-term transformation formulae between basic hypergeometric series.
We investigate semi-classical generalizations of the Charlier and Meixner polynomials, which are discrete orthogonal polynomials that satisfy three-term recurrence relations. It is shown that the coefficients in these recurrence relations…
This paper proves that two differently defined rooted binary trees are isomorphic. The first tree is one associated to a version of Farey sequences where the vertices correspond to the open intervals formed by two successive terms in the…

In this paper, we investigate three-term linear relations among theta series of positive-definite integral binary quadratic forms. We extend Schiemann's methods to characterize all possible three-term linear relations among theta series of…
The finite families of biorthogonal rational functions and orthogonal polynomials of Hahn type are interpreted algebraically in a unified way by considering the three-generated meta Hahn algebra and its finite-dimensional representations.…
We use connection relations and series rearrangement to generalize generating functions for several higher continuous orthogonal polynomials in the Askey scheme, namely the Wilson, continuous dual Hahn, continuous Hahn, and…
In this paper, we establish a $q$-integral formula by using the orthogonality relation, and also provide a new proof of the $q$-orthogonality relation for the continuous $q$-ultraspherical polynomials. A new $q$-beta integral with five…
In this article, we exhaustively explore the terminating basic hypergeometric representations and transformations of the $q$ and $q^{-1}$-symmetric subfamilies of the Askey--Wilson polynomials. These subfamilies are obtained by repeatedly…
It is known that orthogonal polynomials obey a 3 terms recursion relation, as well as a 2x2 differential system. Here, we give an explicit and concise expression of the differential system in terms of the recursion coefficients. This result…
In this paper we show that the only sequences of orthogonal polynomials $(P_n)_{n\geq 0}$ satisfying \begin{align*} \phi(x)\mathcal{D}_q P_{n}(x)=a_n\mathcal{S}_q P_{n+1}(x) +b_n\mathcal{S}_q P_n(x) +c_n\mathcal{S}_q P_{n-1}(x),…

We study self-consistent approximations such as the $\Phi$-derivable and virial approaches to dilute strongly interacting systems in equilibrium. We consider a system of non-relativistic fermions of one kind interacting via a pair potential…
Given the growing quantity of proposals and works of basic hypergeometric functions in the scope of $q$-calculus, it is important to introduce a systematic classification of $q$-calculus. Our aim in this article is to investigate certain…
We study multivariable (bilateral) basic hypergeometric series associated with (type $A$) Macdonald polynomials. We derive several transformation and summation properties for such series including analogues of Heine's ${}_2\phi_1$…
A correspondence between arbitrary Fourier series and certain analytic functions on the unit disk of the complex plane is established. The expression of the Fourier coefficients is derived from the structure of complex analysis. The…
