Q2. What is the purpose of this paper?
In this paper the authors are concerned with the coefficients in the three-term recurrence relations for semi-classical orthonormal polynomials, specifically for generalizations of the Charlier and Meixner polynomials which are discrete orthonormal polynomials.
Q3. what is the recurrence coefficient in (3.1)?
The recurrence coefficients an(z) and bn(z) in (3.1) can be expressed in the forma2n(z) = δ 2 z( lnWn(µ0)), bn(z) = δz( lnWn+1(µ0) Wn(µ0)) .
Q4. How many of the fifty equations are integrable?
Further Painlevé, Gambier and their colleagues showed that of these fifty equations, forty-four are either integrable in terms of previously known functions (such as elliptic functions or are equivalent to linear equations) or reducible to one of six new nonlinear ordinary differential equations, which define new transcendental functions (see Ince [31]).
Q5. What is the corresponding condition for the discrete orthogonal polynomials?
The Charlier polynomials are orthogonal on the lattice N with respect to the Poisson distributionω(k) = zkk! , z > 0, (4.2)and satisfy the orthogonality condition ∞∑k=0Cm(k; z)Cn(k; z) zk k! = n!
Q6. what is the determinant of the discrete weight kn?
n = 0, 1, 2, . . . ,and, as for the continuous orthonormal polynomials in §3.1 above, the coefficients in the recurrence relation are given by (3.2), with the determinants ∆n and ∆̃n given by (3.3).
Q7. What are the Wronskians for special function solutions of PIII?
(1.2)Wronskians for special function solutions of PIII are expressed in terms of modified Bessel functions and for PV in terms of confluent hypergeometric functions.
Q8. what is the recurrence coefficient of a discrete orthogonal polynom?
From (4.2), the moment µ0(z) is given byµ0(z) = ∞∑k=0zk k! = ez.Hence from Theorem 3.1, the Hankel determinant ∆n(z) is given by∆n(z) = Wn(µ0) = zn(n−1)/2enz n−1∏k=1(k!),and so from Theorem 3.3 the recurrence coefficients are given bya2n(z) = δ 2 z( lnWn(µ0)) = nz,bn(z) = δz( lnWn+1(µ0) Wn(µ0)) = n+ z.
Q9. What is the recurrence coefficient of the Painlevé equations?
The six Painlevé equations (PI–PVI) were first discovered by Painlevé, Gambier and their colleagues in an investigation of which second order ordinary differential equationsof the formd2w dz2 = F( dwdz , w, z) , (2.1)where F is rational in dw/dz and w and analytic in z, have the property that their solutions have no movable branch points.
Q10. What is the recurrence relation of the Meixner polynomials?
The Meixner polynomials Mn(k;α, z) are a family of discrete orthogonal polynomials introduced in 1934 by Meixner [41] given byMn(k;α, z) = 2F1 (−n,−k;−α; 1 − 1/z) , 0 < z < 1, (5.1) with α > 0, where 2F1(a, b; c; z) is the hypergeometric function, see [3, 12, 32, 49].
Q11. What is the proof of the functionSn(z)?
The functionSn(z) = δz( ln ∆n(z)), (5.10)with ∆n(z) given by (5.8), satisfies the second-oder, second-degree equation ( z d2Sndz2)2 = [ (z + n+ β − 1)dSndz − Sn − 12n(n− 1 + 2α)]2−4dSn dz ( dSn dz − n− α+ β ) [ z dSn dz − Sn + 12n(n− 1) ] . (5.11)Proof.
Q12. What is the link between the semi-classical discrete orthogonal polynomials?
The link between the semi-classical discrete orthogonal polynomials and the special function solutions of the Painlevé equations is the moment for the associated weight which enables the Hankel determinant to be written as a Wronskian.
