Szeg\H{o}-type asymptotics for ray sequences of Frobenius-Pad\'e approximants

Let $\widehat\sigma$ be a Cauchy transform of a possibly complex-valued Borel measure $\sigma$ and $\{p_n\}$ be a system of orthonormal polynomials with respect to a measure $\mu$, $\mathrm{supp}(\mu)\cap\mathrm{supp}(\sigma)=\varnothing$. An $(m,n)$-th Frobenius-Pad\'e approximant to $\widehat\sigma$ is a rational function $P/Q$, $\mathrm{deg}(P)\leq m$, $\mathrm{deg}(Q)\leq n$, such that the first $m+n+1$ Fourier coefficients of the linear form $Q\widehat\sigma-P$ vanish when the form is developed into a series with respect to the polynomials $p_n$. We investigate the convergence of the Frobenius-Pad\'e approximants to $\widehat\sigma$ along ray sequences $\frac n{n+m+1}\to c>0$, $n-1\leq m$, when $\mu$ and $\sigma$ are supported on intervals on the real line and their Radon-Nikodym derivatives with respect to the arcsine distribution of the respective interval are holomorphic functions

Discrete integrable systems generated by Hermite-Pad\'e approximants

We consider Hermite-Pad\'e approximants in the framework of discrete integrable systems defined on the lattice $\mathbb{Z}^2$. We show that the concept of multiple orthogonality is intimately related to the Lax representations for the entries of the nearest neighbor recurrence relations and it thus gives rise to a discrete integrable system. We show that the converse statement is also true. More precisely, given the discrete integrable system in question there exists a perfect system of two functions, i.e., a system for which the entire table of Hermite-Pad\'e approximants exists. In addition, we give a few algorithms to find solutions of the discrete system.Comment: 20 page

Multidimensional Toda Lattices: Continuous and Discrete Time

In this paper we present multidimensional analogues of both the continuous- and discrete-time Toda lattices. The integrable systems that we consider here have two or more space coordinates. To construct the systems, we generalize the orthogonal polynomial approach for the continuous and discrete Toda lattices to the case of multiple orthogonal polynomials

Convergence of ray sequences of Frobenius-Padé approximants

Let $\widehat\sigma$ be a Cauchy transform of a possibly complex-valued Borel measure $\sigma$ and $\{p_n\}$ a system of orthonormal polynomials with respect to a measure $\mu$, where $\operatorname{supp}(\mu)\cap\operatorname{supp}(\sigma)=\varnothing$. An $(m,n)$th Frobenius-Padé approximant to $\widehat\sigma$ is a rational function $P/Q$, ${\deg(P)\leq m}$, $\deg(Q)\leq n$, such that the first $m+n+1$ Fourier coefficients of the remainder function $Q\widehat\sigma-P$ vanish when the form is developed into a series with respect to the polynomials $p_n$. We investigate the convergence of the Frobenius-Padé approximants to $\widehat\sigma$ along ray sequences ${n/(n+m+1)\to c>0}$, $n-1\leq m$, when $\mu$ and $\sigma$ are supported on intervals of the real line and their Radon-Nikodym derivatives with respect to the arcsine distribution of the corresponding interval are holomorphic functions

On 2D discrete Schr\"odinger operators associated with multiple orthogonal polynomials

A class of cross-shaped difference operators on a two dimensional lattice is introduced. The main feature of the operators in this class is that their formal eigenvectors consist of multiple orthogonal polynomials. In other words, this scheme generalizes the classical connection between Jacobi matrices and orthogonal polynomials to the case of operators on lattices. Furthermore we also show how to obtain 2D discrete Schr\"odinger operators out of this construction and give a number of explicit examples based on known families of multiple orthogonal polynomials.Comment: 15 page

On the parametrization of a certain algebraic curve of genus 2

A parametrization of a certain algebraic curve of genus 2, given by a cubic equa-tion, is obtained. This curve appears in the study of Hermite-Pade´ approximants for a pair of functions with overlapping branch points on the real line. The suggested method of parametrization can be applied to other cubic curves as well
