Generalizations of orthogonal polynomials (Q1779435): Difference between revisions

The paper is a clearly written survey. The following generalizations of orthogonal polynomials are considered: orthogonal rational functions; homogeneous multivariate orthogonal polynomials; vector and matrix orthogonal polynomials; multiple orthogonal polynomials. Main definitions and facts about them are given, some applications (moment problems, numerical quadrature, generalized Padé approximations, number theory and random matrices) are discussed.
