ON SUMMABLE, POSITIVE POISSON–MEHLER KERNELS BUILT OF AL-SALAM–CHIHARA AND RELATED POLYNOMIALS

Abstract

Using special technique of expanding ratio of densities in an infinite series of polynomials orthogonal with respect to one of the densities, we obtain simple, closed forms of certain kernels built of the so-called Al-Salam–Chihara (ASC) polynomials. We consider also kernels built of some other families of polynomials such as the so-called big continuous q-Hermite polynomials that are related to the ASC polynomials. The constructed kernels are symmetric and asymmetric. Being the ratios of the densities they are automatically positive. We expand also reciprocals of some of the kernels, getting nice identities built of the ASC polynomials involving six variables like e.g., formula (3.6). These expansions lead to asymmetric, positive and summable kernels. The particular cases (referring to q = 1 and q = 0) lead to the kernels build of certain linear combinations of the ordinary Hermite and Chebyshev polynomials.
