Abstract

Given a parametrised weight function ω(x,μ) such that the quotients of its consecutive moments are Möbius maps, it is possible to express the underlying biorthogonal polynomials in a closed form IN2. In the present paper we address ourselves to two related issues. Firstly, we demonstrate that, subject to additional assumptions, every such ω obeys (in x) a linear differential equation whose solution is a generalized hypergeometric function. Secondly, using a generalization of standard divided differences, we present a new explicit representation of the underlying orthogonal polynomials.
