Review text

The J matrix method in quantum mechanics developed by Heller, Reinhardt, and Yamani points to a set of orthogonal polynomials having a nonempty continuous spectrum in addition to an infinite discrete spectrum. Asymptotic methods are used to investigate the spectral properties of these polynomials. We also obtain generating functions for both numerator and denominator polynomials. The corresponding continued fraction is computed and the Stieltjes inversion formula is used to determine the distribution function.
