چکیده

New formulas for the n moment μn(a, b, c, d; q) of the Askey-Wilson polynomials are given. These are derived using analytic techniques, and by considering three combinatorial models for the moments: Motzkin paths, matchings, and staircase tableaux. A related positivity theorem is given and another one is conjectured. Résumé. Nous présentons de nouvelles formules pour les n-moments μn(a, b, c, d; q) des polynômes Askey-Wilson. Ils sont calculés avec des techniques analytiques, et en considérant trois modèles combinatoires pour les moments: des chemins de Motzkin, des couplages, et des tableaux escalier. Un théorème de positivité liée est donné et un autre est conjecturé.

Bootstrapping and Askey-wilson Polynomials

Abstract. The mixed moments for the Askey-Wilson polynomials are found using a bootstrapping method and connection coe cients. A similar bootstrapping idea on generating functions gives a new Askey-Wilson generating function. Modified generating functions of orthogonal polynomials are shown to generate polynomials satisfying recurrences of known degree greater than three. An important special c...

On Moments of Classical Orthogonal Polynomials

In this work, using the inversion coefficients and some connection coefficients between some polynomial sets, we give explicit representations of the moments of all the orthogonal polynomials belonging to the Askey-Wilson scheme. Generating functions for some of these moments are also provided.

Staircase tableaux, the asymmetric exclusion process, and Askey-Wilson polynomials.

We introduce some combinatorial objects called staircase tableaux, which have cardinality 4(n)n!, and connect them to both the asymmetric exclusion process (ASEP) and Askey-Wilson polynomials. The ASEP is a model from statistical mechanics introduced in the late 1960s, which describes a system of interacting particles hopping left and right on a one-dimensional lattice of n sites with open boun...

Formulae for Askey-wilson Moments and Enumeration of Staircase Tableaux

We explain how the moments of the (weight function of the) Askey Wilson polynomials are related to the enumeration of the staircase tableaux introduced by the first and fourth authors [11, 12]. This gives us a direct combinatorial formula for these moments, which is related to, but more elegant than the formula given in [11]. Then we use techniques developed by Ismail and the third author to gi...

Expansions in the Askey–Wilson Polynomials

We give a general expansion formula of functions in the Askey–Wilson polynomials and using the Askey–Wilson orthogonality we evaluate several integrals. Moreover we give a general expansion formula of functions in polynomials of Askey–Wilson type, which are not necessarily orthogonal. Limiting cases give expansions in little and big q-Jacobi type polynomials. We also give a new generating funct...
