We consider multiple orthogonal polynomials corresponding to two Macdonald functions (modified Bessel functions of the second kind), with emphasis on the polynomials on the diagonal of the Hermite-Pad\'e table. We give some properties of…
The goal of this work is to characterize all second order difference operators of several variables that have discrete orthogonal polynomials as eigenfunctions. Under some mild assumptions, we give a complete solution of the problem.
This semi-expository paper surveys results concerning three classes of orthogonal polynomials: in one non-hermitian variable, in several isometric non-commuting variables, and in several hermitian non-commuting variables. The emphasis is on…
Orthogonal polynomials of a continuous variable in the Askey scheme satisfying second order difference equations, such as the Askey-Wilson polynomial, can be studied by the quantum mechanical formulation, idQM (discrete quantum mechanics…

The paper has three parts. In the first part we apply the theory of commuting pairs of (pseudo) difference operators to the (formal) asymptotics of orthogonal polynomials: using purely geometrical arguments we show heuristically that the…
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…
