Multiple orthogonal polynomials

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In mathematics, the multiple orthogonal polynomials (MOPs) are orthogonal polynomials in one variable that are orthogonal with respect to a finite family of measures. The polynomials are divided into two classes named type 1 and type 2.[1]

In the literature, MOPs are also called -orthogonal polynomials, Hermite-Padé polynomials or polyorthogonal polynomials. MOPs should not be confused with multivariate orthogonal polynomials.

Multiple orthogonal polynomials

[edit]

Consider a multiindex and positive measures over the reals. As usual .

MOP of type 1

[edit]

Polynomials for are of type 1 if the -th polynomial has at most degree such that

and

[2]

Explanation

[edit]

This defines a system of equations for the coefficients of the polynomials .

MOP of type 2

[edit]

A monic polynomial is of type 2 if it has degree such that

[2]

Explanation

[edit]

If we write out, we get the following definition
