Rational interpolation to solutions of Riccati difference equations on elliptic lattices
AbstractIt is shown how to define difference equations on particular lattices {xn}, n∈Z, where the xns are values of an elliptic function at a sequence of arguments in arithmetic progression (elliptic lattice). Solutions to special difference equations (elliptic Riccati equations) have remarkable simple (!) interpolatory continued fraction expansions
Elliptic Hypergeometric Solutions to Elliptic Difference Equations
It is shown how to define difference equations on particular lattices {xn}, n ∊ Z, made of values of an elliptic function at a sequence of arguments in arithmetic progression (elliptic lattice). Solutions to special difference equations have remarkable simple interpolatory expansions. Only linear difference equations of first order are considered here
Semi-classical Orthogonal Polynomial Systems on Non-uniform Lattices, Deformations of the Askey Table and Analogs of Isomonodromy
A -semi-classical weight is one which satisfies a particular
linear, first order homogeneous equation in a divided-difference operator
. It is known that the system of polynomials, orthogonal with
respect to this weight, and the associated functions satisfy a linear, first
order homogeneous matrix equation in the divided-difference operator termed the
spectral equation. Attached to the spectral equation is a structure which
constitutes a number of relations such as those arising from compatibility with
the three-term recurrence relation. Here this structure is elucidated in the
general case of quadratic lattices. The simplest examples of the
-semi-classical orthogonal polynomial systems are precisely those
in the Askey table of hypergeometric and basic hypergeometric orthogonal
polynomials. However within the -semi-classical class it is
entirely natural to define a generalisation of the Askey table weights which
involve a deformation with respect to new deformation variables. We completely
construct the analogous structures arising from such deformations and their
relations with the other elements of the theory. As an example we treat the
first non-trivial deformation of the Askey-Wilson orthogonal polynomial system
defined by the -quadratic divided-difference operator, the Askey-Wilson
operator, and derive the coupled first order divided-difference equations
characterising its evolution in the deformation variable. We show that this
system is a member of a sequence of classical solutions to the
-Painlev\'e system.Comment: Submitted to Duke Mathematical Journal on 5th April 201
Rational Krylov and ADI iteration for infinite size quasi-Toeplitz matrix equations
We consider a class of linear matrix equations involving semi-infinite
matrices which have a quasi-Toeplitz structure. These equations arise in
different settings, mostly connected with PDEs or the study of Markov chains
such as random walks on bidimensional lattices. We present the theory
justifying the existence in an appropriate Banach algebra which is
computationally treatable, and we propose several methods for their solutions.
We show how to adapt the ADI iteration to this particular infinite dimensional
setting, and how to construct rational Krylov methods. Convergence theory is
discussed, and numerical experiments validate the proposed approaches
