Let X = {Xt, t≥ 0} be a càdlàg Lévy process, centered, with moments of all orders. There are two families of orthogonal polynomials associated with X. On one hand, the Kailath–Segall formula gives the relationship between the iterated integrals and the variations of order n ofX, and defines a family of polynomials P1(x1), P2(x1, x2), . . . that are orthogonal with respect to the joint law of th...

A set of orthogonal polynomials with 8 independent “q’s” is defined which generalizes the Laguerre polynomials. The moments of the measure for these polynomials are the generating functions for permutations according to eight different statistics. Specializing these statistics gives many other well-known sets of combinatorial objects and relevant statistics. The specializations are studied, wit...

This paper defines the multivariate Krawtchouk polynomials, orthogonal on the multinomial distribution, and summarizes their properties as a review. The multivariate Krawtchouk polynomials are symmetric functions of orthogonal sets of functions defined on each of N multinomial trials. The dual multivariate Krawtchouk polynomials, which also have a polynomial structure, are seen to occur natural...

Abstract Three term relations for orthogonal polynomials in several variables associated to a moment linear functional obtained by Uvarov modification of given are studied. Existence is analyzed, stating conditions ensure it. The matrices the three explicitly terms satisfied original family. Two examples presented order show that results valid positive definite functionals and also some quasi w...

Orthogonal polynomials, unless they are classical, require special techniques for their computation. One of the central problems is to generate the coefficients in the basic three-term recurrence relation they are known to satisfy. There are two general approaches for doing this: methods based on moment information, and discretization methods. In the former, one develops algorithms that take as...

In this paper, we introduce hybrid of block-pulse functions and Bernstein polynomials and derive operational matrices of integration, dual, differentiation, product and delay of these hybrid functions by a general procedure that can be used for other polynomials or orthogonal functions. Then, we utilize them to solve delay differential equations and time-delay system. The method is based upon e...
