Creation and annihilation operators for orthogonal polynomials of continuous and discrete variables.
Our primary goal in this preamble is to highlight the best of Vasil Popov’s mathematical achievements and ideas. V. Popov showed his extraordinary talent for mathematics in his early papers in the (typically Bulgarian) area of approximation in the Hausdorff metric. His results in this area are very well presented in the monograph of his advisor Bl. Sendov, “Hausdorff Approximation”.
We study the probability distribution of the location of a particle performing a cyclic random motion in . The particle can take n possible directions with different velocities and the changes of direction occur at random times. The speed-vectors as well as the support of the distribution form a polyhedron (the first one having constant sides and the other expanding with time t). The distribution of the location of the particle is made up of two components: a singular component (corresponding...
This paper is devoted to the study of matrix elements of irreducible representations of the enveloping deformed Heisenberg algebra with reflection, motivated by recurrence relations satisfied by hypergeometric functions. It is shown that the matrix elements of a suitable operator given as a product of exponential functions are expressed in terms of -orthogonal polynomials, which are reduced to the orthogonal Meixner polynomials when . The underlying algebraic framework allowed a systematic derivation...
The Hille-Hardy formula is a bilinear generating function, involving products of Laguerre polynomials. We use the point of view, developed in previous publications, to propose an operational method which allows a fairly direct derivation of this kind of formulae.
