Uniform multiple orthogonal polynomials and Markov chains
摘要
Hypergeometric multiple orthogonal polynomials on the stepline are shown to be related to Markov chains beyond birth-and-death. The corresponding Hessenberg matrix can be normalized to a stochastic matrix. We find twelve uniform Hessenberg matrices of Toeplitz type and their normalizations to stochastic or semi-stochastic matrices. The corresponding weights and the stochastic bidiagonal factorizations for these matrices are provided. Only one of these uniform stochastic cases, which is a recurrent Markov chain, has a uniform stochastic factorization. Chain of Christoffel transformations connecting the stochastic uniform tuples and the semi-stochastic uniform tuples, between them, are presented.
