Generalized orthogonality and continued fractions

Classical Analysis and ODEs 2008-02-03 v1

Abstract

The connection between continued fractions and orthogonality which is familiar for JJ-fractions and TT-fractions is extended to what we call RR-fractions of type I and II. These continued fractions are associated with recurrence relations that correspond to multipoint rational interpolants. A Favard type theorem is proved for each type. We then study explicit models which lead to biorthogonal rational functions.
