چکیده
Stieltjes’ work on continued fractions and the orthogonal polynomials related to continued fraction expansions is summarized and an attempt is made to describe the influence of Stieltjes’ ideas and work in research done after his death, with an emphasis on the theory of orthogonal polynomials.

The Impact of Stieltjes' Work on Continued Fractions and Orthogonal Polynomials: Additional Material
In the recent new edition of the collected works of T.J. Stieltjes, one of us gave an impression of the impact of Stieltjes' work a century after his death 43]. In this paper we give an update and mention some observations which were missing from 43] and some results which appeared during the last two years and which are directly related to Stieltjes' work. In particular there is a large sectio...
متن کاملOrthogonal Polynomials
The theory of orthogonal polynomials plays an important role in many branches of mathematics, such as approximation theory (best approximation, interpolation, quadrature), special functions, continued fractions, differential and integral equations. The notion of orthogonality originated from the theory of continued fractions, but later became an independent (and possibly more important) discipl...
متن کاملThe Formal Theory of Birth - and - Death Processes , Lattice Path Combinatorics , and Continued Fractions
Classic works of Karlin-McGregor and Jones-Magnus have established a general correspondence between continuous-time birth-and-death processes and continued fractions of the Stieltjes-Jacobi type together with their associated orthogonal polynomials. This fundamental correspondence is revisited here in the light of the basic relation between weighted lattice paths and continued fractions otherwi...

متن کاملInterlacing and asymptotic properties of Stieltjes polynomials
Polynomial solutions to the generalized Lamé equation, the Stieltjes polynomials, and the associated Van Vleck polynomials have been studied since the 1830’s, beginning with Lamé in his studies of the Laplace equation on an ellipsoid, and in an ever widening variety of applications since. In this paper we show how the zeros of Stieltjes polynomials are distributed and present two new interlacin...
