Multiple orthogonal polynomials (Q1298585)

This is a review of the advances in the theory of simultaneous Padé approximants for the past five years. It covers new results in the classification of what appear to be the semiclassical multiple orthogonal polynomials, new applications to number theory, connections with the spectral theory of non-symmetric operators and orthogonal polynomials with respect to varying measures, and asymptotic properties of Hermite-Padé orthogonal polynomials.
