Some cubic birth and death processes and their related orthogonal polynomials

چکیده
The orthogonal polynomials with recurrence relation (λn + μn − z)Fn(z) = μn+1 Fn+1(z) + λn−1 Fn−1(z) with two kinds of cubic transition rates λn and μn, corresponding to indeterminate Stieltjes moment problems, are analyzed. We derive generating functions for these two classes of polynomials, which enable us to compute their Nevanlinna matrices. We discuss the asymptotics of the Nevanlinna matrices in the complex plane.

On the 2-orthogonal polynomials and the generalized birth and death processes
The birth and death processes are closely related to the orthogonal polynomials. The latter allows determining the stochastic matrix associated with these processes. Let us also note that these processes are stationary Markov processes whose state space is the nonnegative integers. Many authors treated the question of the existing relationship between the birth and death processes and the ortho...
متن کاملWeighted Sums of Orthogonal Polynomials Related to Birth-Death Processes with Killing
We consider sequences of orthogonal polynomials arising in the analysis of birth-death processes with killing. Motivated by problems in this stochastic setting we discuss criteria for convergence of certain weighted sums of the polynomials. AMS Subject Classifications: 42C05, 60J80.
متن کاملAnalysis of Random Walks Using Orthogonal Polynomials
We discuss some aspects of discrete-time birth-death processes or random walks, highlighting the role played by orthogonal polynomials.
متن کاملAssociated polynomials and birth-death processes
We consider sequences of orthogonal polynomials with positive zeros, and pursue the question of how (partial) knowledge of the orthogonalizing measure for the associated polynomials can lead to information about the orthogonalizing measure for the original polynomials, with a view to applications in the setting of birth-death processes. In particular, we relate the supports of the two measures,...
متن کاملMultivariate Krawtchouk Polynomials and Composition Birth and Death Processes
This paper defines the multivariate Krawtchouk polynomials, orthogonal on the multinomial distribution, and summarizes their properties as a review. The multivariate Krawtchouk polynomials are symmetric functions of orthogonal sets of functions defined on each of N multinomial trials. The dual multivariate Krawtchouk polynomials, which also have a polynomial structure, are seen to occur natural...
