Polynomial sequences on quadratic curves

In this paper we generalize the study of Matiyasevich on integer points over conics, introducing the more general concept of radical points. With this generalization we are able to solve in positive integers some Diophantine equations, relating these solutions by means of particular linear recurrence sequences. We point out interesting relationships between these sequences and known sequences in OEIS. We finally show connections between these sequences and Chebyshev and Morgan-Voyce polynomials, finding new identities

Note on Ward-Horadam H(x) - binomials' recurrences and related interpretations, II

We deliver here second new $\textit{H(x)}-binomials'$ recurrence formula, were $H(x)-binomials'$ array is appointed by $Ward-Horadam$ sequence of functions which in predominantly considered cases where chosen to be polynomials . Secondly, we supply a review of selected related combinatorial interpretations of generalized binomial coefficients. We then propose also a kind of transfer of interpretation of $p,q-binomial$ coefficients onto $q-binomial$ coefficients interpretations thus bringing us back to $Gy{\"{o}}rgy P\'olya$ and Donald Ervin Knuth relevant investigation decades ago.Comment: 57 pages, 8 figure

Relative asymptotics for orthogonal matrix polynomials

In this paper we study sequences of matrix polynomials that satisfy a non-symmetric recurrence relation. To study this kind of sequences we use a vector interpretation of the matrix orthogonality. In the context of these sequences of matrix polynomials we introduce the concept of the generalized matrix Nevai class and we give the ratio asymptotics between two consecutive polynomials belonging to this class. We study the generalized matrix Chebyshev polynomials and we deduce its explicit expression as well as we show some illustrative examples. The concept of a Dirac delta functional is introduced. We show how the vector model that includes a Dirac delta functional is a representation of a discrete Sobolev inner product. It also allows to reinterpret such perturbations in the usual matrix Nevai class. Finally, the relative asymptotics between a polynomial in the generalized matrix Nevai class and a polynomial that is orthogonal to a modification of the corresponding matrix measure by the addition of a Dirac delta functional is deduced

A family of linearizable recurrences with the Laurent property

We consider a family of non-linear recurrences with the Laurent property. Although these recurrences are not generated by mutations in a cluster algebra, they fit within the broader framework of Laurent phenomenon algebras, as introduced recently by Lam and Pylyavskyy. Furthermore, each member of this family is shown to be linearizable in two different ways, in the sense that its iterates satisfy both a linear relation with constant coefficients and a linear relation with periodic coefficients. Associated monodromy matrices and first integrals are constructed, and the connection with the dressing chain for Schrödinger operators is also explained

A unified approach to polynomial sequences with only real zeros

We give new sufficient conditions for a sequence of polynomials to have only real zeros based on the method of interlacing zeros. As applications we derive several well-known facts, including the reality of zeros of orthogonal polynomials, matching polynomials, Narayana polynomials and Eulerian polynomials. We also settle certain conjectures of Stahl on genus polynomials by proving them for certain classes of graphs, while showing that they are false in general.Comment: 19 pages, Advances in Applied Mathematics, in pres

The Kontorovich-Lebedev transform as a map between dd-orthogonal polynomials

A slight modification of the Kontorovich-Lebedev transform is an automorphism on the vector space of polynomials. The action of this $KL_{\alpha}$-transform over certain polynomial sequences will be under discussion, and a special attention will be given the d-orthogonal ones. For instance, the Continuous Dual Hahn polynomials appear as the $KL_{\alpha}$-transform of a 2-orthogonal sequence of Laguerre type. Finally, all the orthogonal polynomial sequences whose $KL_{\alpha}$-transform is a $d$-orthogonal sequence will be characterized: they are essencially semiclassical polynomials fulfilling particular conditions and $d$ is even. The Hermite and Laguerre polynomials are the classical solutions to this problem.Comment: 27 page
