Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, the theory of orthogonal polynomials has received a great amount of interest because of its wide role in Pure and Applied Mathematics. Orthogonal polynomials are essential tools for the solution of many problems in the spectral theory of differential and difference equations, Painlevé equations (discrete and continuous versions), numerical methods in quadrature on the real line and the unit circle, as well as cubature formulas on multidimensional domains, with applications ranging from Number Theory to Approximation Theory, Combinatorics to Group representation, integrable systems, random matrices, and linear system theory to signal processing.

The aims of the proposed Special Issue are:

  • To show some recent trends in the research on orthogonal polynomials, with a special emphasis on their analytic properties and approximation theory. Different examples of orthogonality (Sobolev, multiple, multivariate, matrix) will be studied, as well as the asymptotic properties of the corresponding sequences of orthogonal polynomials and the behavior of their zeros;
  • To emphasize their impact in Mathematical Physics, mainly in integrable systems and Painlevé equations (discrete and continuous cases), as they are strongly related to the coefficients of three term relation, satisfied by a sequence of orthogonal polynomials and time-depending measures supported on the real line.

We consider two families of type II multiple orthogonal polynomials. Each family has orthogonality conditions with respect to a discrete vector measure. The r components of each vector measure are q-analogues of Meixner measures of the first and second kind, respectively. These polynomials have lowering and raising operators, which lead to the Rodrigues formula, difference equation of order r+1, and explicit expressions for the coefficients of recurrence relation of order r+1. Some limit relations are obtained. Full article

In this paper, we first revisit and bring together as a sort of survey, properties of Bernstein polynomials of one variable. Secondly, we extend the results from one variable to several ones, namely—uniform convergence, uniform convergence of the derivatives, order of convergence, monotonicity, fixed sign for the p-th derivative, and deduction of the upper and lower bounds of Bernstein polynomials from those of the corresponding functions.

This contribution deals with the sequence {Un(a)(x;q,j)}n≥0 of monic polynomials in x, orthogonal with respect to a Sobolev-type inner product related to the Al-Salam–Carlitz I orthogonal polynomials, and involving an arbitrary number j of q-derivatives on the two boundaries of the corresponding orthogonality interval, for some fixed real number q∈(0,1). We provide several versions of the corresponding connection formulas, ladder operators, and several versions of the second order q-difference equations satisfied by polynomials in this sequence. As a novel contribution to the literature, we provide certain three term recurrence formula with rational coefficients satisfied by Un(a)(x;q,j), which paves the way to establish an appealing generalization of the so-called J-fractions to the framework of Sobolev-type orthogonality.

Polynomials that are orthogonal with respect to a perturbation of the Freud weight function by some parameter, known to be modified Freudian orthogonal polynomials, are considered. In this contribution, we investigate certain properties of semi-classical modified Freud-type polynomials in which their corresponding semi-classical weight function is a more general deformation of the classical scaled sextic Freud weight |x|αexp(−cx6),c>0,α>−1. Certain characterizing properties of these polynomials such as moments, recurrence coefficients, holonomic equations that they satisfy, and certain non-linear differential-recurrence equations satisfied by the recurrence coefficients, using compatibility conditions for ladder operators for these orthogonal polynomials, are investigated. Differential-difference equations were also obtained via Shohat’s quasi-orthogonality approach and also second-order linear ODEs (with rational coefficients) satisfied by these polynomials. Modified Freudian polynomials can also be obtained via Chihara’s symmetrization process from the generalized Airy-type polynomials. The obtained linear differential equation plays an essential role in the electrostatic interpretation for the distribution of zeros of the corresponding Freudian polynomials. Full article

We study an energy-dependent potential related to the Rosen–Morse potential. We give in closed-form the expression of a system of eigenfunctions of the Schrödinger operator in terms of a class of functions associated to a family of hypergeometric para-orthogonal polynomials on the unit circle. We also present modified relations of orthogonality and an asymptotic formula. Consequently, bound state solutions can be obtained for some values of the parameters that define the model. As a particular case, we obtain the symmetric trigonometric Rosen–Morse potential for which there exists an orthogonal basis of eigenstates in a Hilbert space. By comparing the existent solutions for the symmetric trigonometric Rosen–Morse potential, an identity involving Gegenbauer polynomials is obtained. Full article

In this contribution, we propose an algorithm to compute holonomic second-order differential equations satisfied by some families of orthogonal polynomials. Such algorithm is based in three properties that orthogonal polynomials satisfy: a recurrence relation, a structure formula, and a connection formula. This approach is used to obtain second-order differential equations whose solutions are orthogonal polynomials associated with some spectral transformations of a measure on the unit circle, as well as orthogonal polynomials associated with coherent pairs of measures on the unit circle.

In this paper, we consider a discrete Sobolev inner product involving the Jacobi weight with a twofold objective. On the one hand, since the orthonormal polynomials with respect to this inner product are eigenfunctions of a certain differential operator, we are interested in the corresponding eigenvalues, more exactly, in their asymptotic behavior. Thus, we can determine a limit value which links this asymptotic behavior and the uniform norm of the orthonormal polynomials in a logarithmic scale. This value appears in the theory of reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces. On the other hand, we tackle a more general case than the one considered in the literature previously. Full article

In this work, our aim is to obtain conditions to assure polynomial approximation in Hilbert spaces L 2 ( μ ) , with μ a compactly supported measure in the complex plane, in terms of properties of the associated moment matrix with the measure μ . To do it, in the more general context of Hermitian positive semidefinite matrices, we introduce two indexes, γ ( M ) and λ ( M ) , associated with different optimization problems concerning theses matrices. Our main result is a characterization of density of polynomials in the case of measures supported on Jordan curves with non-empty interior using the index γ and other specific index related to it. Moreover, we provide a new point of view of bounded point evaluations associated with a measure in terms of the index γ that will allow us to give an alternative proof of Thomson’s theorem, by using these matrix indexes. We point out that our techniques are based in matrix algebra tools in the framework of Hermitian positive definite matrices and in the computation of certain indexes related to some optimization problems for infinite matrices.

A set of second order holonomic difference equations was deduced from a set of simultaneous rational approximation problems. Some orthogonal forms involved in the approximation were used to compute the Casorati determinants for its linearly independent solutions. These solutions constitute the numerator and denominator sequences of rational approximants to ζ ( 3 ) . A correspondence from the set of parameters involved in the holonomic difference equation to the set of holonomic bi-sequences formed by these numerators and denominators appears. Infinitely many rational approximants can be generated. Full article

Hermite–Padé approximation has been a mainstay of approximation theory since the concept was introduced by Charles Hermite in his proof of the transcendence of e in 1873. This subject occupies a large place in the literature and it has applications in different subjects. Most of the studies of Hermite–Padé approximation have mainly concentrated on diagonal sequences. Recently, there were some significant contributions in the direction of row sequences of Type II Hermite–Padé approximation. Moreover, various generalizations of Type II Hermite–Padé approximation were introduced and studied on row sequences. The purpose of this paper is to reflect the current state of the study of Type II Hermite–Padé approximation and its generalizations on row sequences. In particular, we focus on the relationship between the convergence of zeros of the common denominators of such approximants and singularities of the vector of approximated functions. Some conjectures concerning these studies are posed. Full article
