Normalized Leonard pairs and Askey--Wilson relations (Q869916)

This paper presents convenient normalizations of Leonard pairs and their Askey-Wilson relations using \textit{P. Terwilliger}'s classification [Des. Codes Cryptography 34, 307--332 (2005; Zbl 1063.05138)]. For parameter arrays of the \(q\)-type, two normalizations are presented. One is close to Terwilliger's general expression and the other, normalized Askey-Wilson coefficients. The author notes that Terwilliger's classification of parameter arrays by certain families of orthogonal polynomials from the Askey-Wilson scheme can lead to Leonard pairs and Askey-Wilson relations. According to the author, this work is more of bookkeeping kind than of deep research.
