Abstract: In this paper, we introduce the concepts of compatibility and companion for Leonard pairs. These concepts are roughly described as follows. Let mathbbF denote a field, and let V denote a vector space over mathbbF with finite positive dimension. A Leonard pair on V is an ordered pair of diagonalizable mathbbF-linear maps A:VoV and A:VoV that each act in an irreducible tridiagonal fashion on an eigenbasis for the other one. Leonard pairs A,A and B,B on V are said to be compatible whenever A=B and [A,A]=[B,B], where [r,s]=rssr. For a Leonard pair A,A on V, by a companion of A,A we mean an mathbbF-linear map K:VoV such that K is a polynomial in A and AK,A is a Leonard pair on V. The concepts of compatibility and companion are related as follows. For compatible Leonard pairs A,A and B,B on V, define K=AB. Then K is a companion of A,A. For a Leonard pair A,A on V and a companion K of A,A, define B=AK and B=A. Then B,B is a Leonard pair on V that is compatible with A,A. Let A,A denote a Leonard pair on V. We find all the Leonard pairs B,B on V that are compatible with A,A. For each solution B,B we describe the corresponding companion K=AB.
