Two families of orthogonal polynomials on the unit circle from basic hypergeometric functions

Publication date: 23 November 2016

Abstract: The sequence

{,_{2} p h i_{1} (q^{- k}, q^{b + 1};, q^{- o v e r l i n e b - k + 1};, q, q^{- o v e r l i n e b + 1 / 2} z)}_{k g e q 0}

of basic hypergeometric polynomials is known to be orthogonal on the unit circle with respect to the weight function

| (q^{1 / 2} e^{i h e t a};, q)_{i n f t y} / (q^{b + 1 / 2} e^{i h e t a};, q)_{i n f t y} |^{2}

. This result, where one must take the parameters

q

and

b

to be

0 < q < 1

and

R e (b) > - 1 / 2

, is due to P.I. Pastro cite{Pastro-1985}. In the present manuscript we deal with the orthogonal polynomials

h a t {P h i}_{n} (b; .)

and

c h e c k {P h i}_{n} (b; .)

on the unit circle with respect to the two parametric families of weight functions

h a t o m e g a (b; h e t a) = | (e^{i h e t a};, q)_{i n f t y} / (q^{b} e^{i h e t a};, q)_{i n f t y} |^{2}

and

c h e c k o m e g a (b; h e t a) = | (q e^{i h e t a};, q)_{i n f t y} / (q^{b} e^{i h e t a};, q)_{i n f t y} |^{2}

, where

0 < q < 1

and

R e (b) > 0

. With the use of the basic hypergeometric polynomials

_{2} p h i_{1} (q^{- k}, q^{b};, q^{- o v e r l i n e b - k + 1};, q, q^{- o v e r l i n e b + 1} z)

,

k g e q 0

, which have zeros on the unit circle when

R e (b) > 0

, simple expressions for the (monic) polynomials

h a t {P h i}_{n} (b; .)

and

c h e c k {P h i}_{n} (b; .)

, their norms, the associated Verblunsky coefficients and also the respective SzegH{o} functions are found.
