Abstract. It is well-known that orthogonal polynomials on the real line satisfy a three-term recurrence relation and conversely every system of polynomials satisfying a three-term recurrence relation is orthogonal with respect to some positive Borel measure on the real line. In this paper we extend this result and show that every system of polynomials satisfying some (2N + 1)-term recurrence re...

The equilibrium positions of the multi-particle classical Calogero-Sutherland-Moser (CSM) systems with rational/trigonometric potentials associated with the classical root systems are described by the classical orthogonal polynomials; the Hermite, Laguerre and Jacobi polynomials. The eigenfunctions of the corresponding single-particle quantum CSM systems are also expressed in terms of the same ...

Let be a positive measure on the real line, with orthogonal polynomials fpng and leading coe¢ cients f ng. The Geronimus type identity 1 jIm zj Z 1 1 P (t) jzpn (t) pn 1 (t)j dt = n 1 n Z P (t) d (t) ; valid for all polynomials P of degree 2n 2 has known analogues within the theory of orthogonal rational functions, though apparently unknown in the theory of orthogonal polynomials. We present ne...

Orthogonal polynomials on the standard simplex Σ in R are shown to be related to the spherical orthogonal polynomials on the unit sphere S in R that are invariant under the group Z2×· · ·×Z2. For a large class of measures on S cubature formulae invariant under Z2 × · · · × Z2 are shown to be characterized by cubature formulae on Σ. Moreover, it is also shown that there is a correspondence betwe...

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...
