Abstract: Elementary properties of the Koornwinder-Macdonald multivariable Askey-Wilson polynomials are discussed. Studied are the orthogonality, the difference equations, the recurrence relations, and the orthonormalization constants for these polynomials. Essential in our approach are certain commuting difference operators simultaneously diagonalized by the polynomials.

Review text

Elementary properties of the so-called Koornwinder-Macdonald multivariable Askey-Wilson polynomials are discussed. The orthogonality, the difference equations, the recurrence relations, and the orthonormalization constants are studied for these polynomials. An essential role is played here by a family of commuting difference operators that are simultaneously diagonalized by these multivariable Askey-Wilson polynomials. These operators were studied before by \textit{J. F. van Diejen} [Compos. Math. 95, No. 2, 183-233 (1995; Zbl 0838.33010)]. Most results are given without complete proofs. For a more detailed treatment including proofs the author refers to his paper [Invent. Math. 126, No. 2, 319-339 (1996; Zbl 0869.33012)].
