Meta algebras and biorthogonal rational functions: the q-Hahn case
摘要
A unified algebraic interpretation of both finite families of orthogonal polynomials and biorthogonal rational functions of q-Hahn type is provided. The approach relies on the meta q-Hahn algebra and its finite-dimensional bidiagonal representations. The functions of q-Hahn type are identified as overlaps (up to global factors) between bases solving ordinary or generalized eigenvalue problems in the representation of the meta q-Hahn algebra. Moreover, (bi)orthogonality relations, recurrence relations, difference equations and some contiguity relations satisfied by these functions are recovered algebraically using the actions of the generators of the meta q-Hahn algebra on various bases.
