Orthogonal polynomials generated by a linear structure relation: inverse problem

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: Let (Pn)n and (Qn)n be two sequences of monic polynomials linked by a type structure relation such as Q_{n}(x)+r_nQ_{n-1}(x)=P_{n}(x)+s_nP_{n-1}(x)+t_nP_{n-2}(x);, where (rn)n, (sn)n and (tn)n are sequences of complex numbers. First, we state necessary and sufficient conditions on the parameters such that the above relation becomes non-degenerate when both sequences (Pn)n and (Qn)n are orthogonal with respect to regular moment linear functionals and , respectively. Second, assuming that the above relation is non-degenerate and (Pn)n is an orthogonal sequence, we obtain a characterization for the orthogonality of the sequence (Qn)n in terms of the coefficients of the polynomials Phi and Psi which appear in the rational transformation (in the distributional sense) Some illustrative examples of the developed theory are presented.
