Abstract: We discuss polynomials orthogonal with respect to a semi-classical generalised higher order Freud weight [omega(x;t,lambda)=|x|^{2lambda+1}expleft(tx^2-x^{2m} ight),qquad xinmathbb{R},] with parameters $lambda>-1$, $tinmathbbR$ and $m=2,3,dots$ . The sequence of generalised higher order Freud weights for $m=2,3,dots$, forms a hierarchy of weights, with associated hierarchies for the first moment and the recurrence coefficient. We prove that the first moment can be written as a finite partition sum of generalised hypergeometric ${}_1{F}_m$ functions and show that the recurrence coefficients satisfy difference equations which are members of the first discrete Painlev'e hierarchy. We analyse the asymptotic behaviour of the recurrence coefficients and the limiting distribution of the zeros as $noinfty$. We also investigate structure and other mixed recurrence relations satisfied by the polynomials and related properties.
