Multiple Geronimus transformations
We consider multiple Geronimus transformations and show that they lead to discrete (non-diagonal) Sobolev type inner products. Moreover, it is shown that every discrete Sobolev inner product can be obtained as a multiple Geronimus transformation. A connection with Geronimus spectral transformations for matrix orthogonal polynomials is also considered.The work of Francisco Marcellán has been supported by Dirección General de Investigación, Desarrollo e Innovación, Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad of Spain, grant MTM2012-36732-C03-01
Asymptotics and zeros of Sobolev orthogonal polynomials on unbounded supports
In this paper we present a survey about analytic properties of polynomials
orthogonal with respect to a weighted Sobolev inner product such that the
vector of measures has an unbounded support. In particular, we are focused in
the study of the asymptotic behaviour of such polynomials as well as in the
distribution of their zeros. Some open problems as well as some new directions
for a future research are formulated.Comment: Changed content; 34 pages, 41 reference
The semiclassical--Sobolev orthogonal polynomials: a general approach
We say that the polynomial sequence is a semiclassical
Sobolev polynomial sequence when it is orthogonal with respect to the inner
product where is a semiclassical linear functional,
is the differential, the difference or the --difference
operator, and is a positive constant. In this paper we get algebraic
and differential/difference properties for such polynomials as well as
algebraic relations between them and the polynomial sequence orthogonal with
respect to the semiclassical functional . The main goal of this article
is to give a general approach to the study of the polynomials orthogonal with
respect to the above nonstandard inner product regardless of the type of
operator considered. Finally, we illustrate our results by
applying them to some known families of Sobolev orthogonal polynomials as well
as to some new ones introduced in this paper for the first time.Comment: 23 pages, special issue dedicated to Professor Guillermo Lopez

On analytic properties of Meixner-Sobolev orthogonal polynomials of higher order difference operators
In this contribution we consider sequences of monic polynomials orthogonal
with respect to Sobolev-type inner product where is the Meixner linear operator,
, , , and
is the forward difference operator , or the backward difference
operator .
We derive an explicit representation for these polynomials. The ladder
operators associated with these polynomials are obtained, and the linear
difference equation of second order is also given. In addition, for these
polynomials we derive a -term recurrence relation. Finally, we find the
Mehler-Heine type formula for the case
