Moments of Askey-Wilson polynomials [PDF]
New formulas for the $n^{\mathrm{th}}$ moment $\mu_n(a,b,c,d;q)$ of the Askey-Wilson polynomials are given. These are derived using analytic techniques, and by considering three combinatorial models for the moments: Motzkin paths, matchings, and ...

Askey–Wilson polynomials, quadratic harnesses and martingales [PDF]
We use orthogonality measures of Askey--Wilson polynomials to construct Markov processes with linear regressions and quadratic conditional variances. Askey--Wilson polynomials are orthogonal martingale polynomials for these processes.Comment: Published ...

Raising and Lowering Operators for Askey-Wilson Polynomials [PDF]
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 ''classical'' properties

Befriending Askey–Wilson polynomials [PDF]
We recall five families of polynomials constituting a part of the so-called Askey–Wilson scheme. We do this to expose properties of the Askey–Wilson (AW) polynomials that constitute the last, most complicated element of this scheme. In doing so we express AW density as a product of the density that makes q-Hermite polynomials orthogonal times a ...

On the Krall-type Askey-Wilson Polynomials [PDF]
In this paper the general Krall-type Askey-Wilson polynomials are introduced. These polynomials are obtained from the Askey-Wilson polynomials via the addition of two mass points to the weight function of them at the points $\pm1$.

On another characterization of Askey-Wilson polynomials [PDF]
In this paper we show that the only sequences of orthogonal polynomials $(P_n)_{n\geq 0}$ satisfying \begin{align*} ϕ(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), \end{align*} ($c_n\neq 0$) where $ϕ$ is a well chosen polynomial of degree at most two, $\mathcal{D}_q$ is the Askey-Wilson ...

Generalized Burchnall-Type Identities for Orthogonal Polynomials and Expansions [PDF]
Burchnall's method to invert the Feldheim-Watson linearization formula for the Hermite polynomials is extended to all polynomial families in the Askey-scheme and its $q$-analogue.

A characterization of Askey-Wilson polynomials [PDF]
We show that the only monic orthogonal polynomials $\{P_n\}_{n=0}^{\infty}$ that satisfy $$ (x)\mathcal{D}_{q}^2P_{n}(x)=\sum_{j=-2}^{2}a_{n,n+j}P_{n+j}(x),\; x=\cos ,\;~ a_{n,n-2}\neq 0,~ n=2,3,\dots,$$ where $ (x)$ is a polynomial of degree at most $4$ and $\mathcal{D}_{q}$ is the Askey-Wilson operator, are Askey-Wilson polynomials and their ...

The Universal Askey-Wilson Algebra [PDF]
In 1992 A. Zhedanov introduced the Askey-Wilson algebra AW=AW(3) and used it to describe the Askey-Wilson polynomials. In this paper we introduce a central extension Δ of AW, obtained from AW by reinterpreting certain parameters as central elements in ...

Bispectrality of the Complementary Bannai-Ito Polynomials [PDF]
A one-parameter family of operators that have the complementary Bannai-Ito (CBI) polynomials as eigenfunctions is obtained. The CBI polynomials are the kernel partners of the Bannai-Ito polynomials and also correspond to a q→−1 limit of the Askey-Wilson ...
