The Jacobi inversion formula

We look for spectral type differential equations satisfied by the generalized Jacobi polynomials which are orthogonal on the interval [-1,1] with respect to a weight function consisting of the classical Jacobi weight function together with point masses at the endpoints of the interval of orthogonality. In order to find explicit formulas for the coefficients of these differential equations we have to solve systems of equations involving derivatives of the classical Jacobi polynomials. These systems of equations have a unique solution which can be given explicitly in terms of Jacobi polynomials. This is a consequence of the Jacobi inversion formula which is proved in this paper.Comment: 15 page

On differential equations for Sobolev-type Laguerre polynomials

We obtain all spectral type differential equations satisfied by the Sobolev-type Laguerre polynomials. This generalizes the results found in 1990 by the first and second author in the case of the generalized Laguerre polynomials defined by T.H. Koornwinder in 1984.Comment: 45 page

Differential equations for generalized Jacobi polynomials

We look for spectral type differential equations satisfied by the generalized Jacobi polynomials, which are orthogonal on the interval [-1,1] with respect to a weight function consisting of the classical Jacobi weight function together with two point masses at the endpoints of the interval of orthogonality. We show that such a differential equation is uniquely determined and we give explicit representations for the coefficients. In case of nonzero mass points the order of this differential equation is infinite, except for nonnegative integer values of (one of) the parameters. Otherwise, the finite order is explictly given in terms of the parameters.Comment: 33 pages, submitted for publicatio

Wilson Polynomials and the Lorentz Transformation Properties of the Parity Operator

The parity operator for a parity-symmetric quantum field theory transforms as an infinite sum of irreducible representations of the homogeneous Lorentz group. These representations are connected with Wilson polynomials

On the Krall-type Askey-Wilson Polynomials

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 $\pm1$. Several properties of such new family are considered, in particular the three-term recurrence relation and the representation as basic hypergeometric series

New connection formulae for some q-orthogonal polynomials in q-Askey scheme

New nonlinear connection formulae of the q-orthogonal polynomials, such continuous q-Laguerre, continuous big q-Hermite, q-Meixner-Pollaczek and q-Gegenbauer polynomials, in terms of their respective classical analogues are obtained using a special realization of the q-exponential function as infinite multiplicative series of ordinary exponential function

Interpolation of SUSY quantum mechanics

Interpolation of two adjacent Hamiltonians in SUSY quantum mechanics $H_s=(1-s)A^{\dagger}A + sAA^{\dagger}$, $0\le s\le 1$ is discussed together with related operators. For a wide variety of shape-invariant degree one quantum mechanics and their `discrete' counterparts, the interpolation Hamiltonian is also shape-invariant, that is it takes the same form as the original Hamiltonian with shifted coupling constant(s).Comment: 18 page
