Families of orthogonal polynomials arise in many different areas ranging from combinatorics to statistics and physics. This is the first modern account of the subject, written by a world-class researcher in the area. Ismail covers classical discrete and continuous q-orthogonal polynomials, as well as related areas and applications to, for example, Toda lattices and birth-and-death processes. Much material appears here for the first time in book form. The comprehensive bibliography and...
More DescriptionFamilies of orthogonal polynomials arise in many different areas ranging from combinatorics to statistics and physics. This is the first modern account of the subject, written by a world-class researcher in the area. Ismail covers classical discrete and continuous q-orthogonal polynomials, as well as related areas and applications to, for example, Toda lattices and birth-and-death processes. Much material appears here for the first time in book form. The comprehensive bibliography and collection of open research problems and exercises will make this invaluable as a reference or for graduate classes.
