Lebesgue perturbation of a quasi-definite Hermitian functional. The positive definite case (Q1399933)

The problems of orthogonality with respect to a sum of measures or functionals are considered. A particular case dealt with is the problem where one of the functionals is arbitrary and quasi-definite and the other one is the Lebesgue normalized functional. In this case a necessary and sufficient condition for the quasi-definite character of the new functional is derived. An explicit expression for the corresponding sequence of orthogonal polynomials is also obtained. Then the sum of two positive measures, one being arbitrary and the second one being the Lebesgue measure, is studied. Finally, the sum of a Bernstein-Szegő measure and the Lebesgue measure is discussed.
