Abstract

The theory of orthgonal polynomials has vast applications in all types of problems of Mathematics and Applied Sciences. These polynomials are essentials tools for the solutions of many problems and have contributed in studies related to Differential equations, Continued fractions, Numerical stability, Fast and super-fast algorithms, etc. Our recent involvement in this area of research involve studies of 1) Orthogonal polynomials on the real line, 2) Szegö polynomials which are given interms of integrals on the unit circle, 3) Orthogonal Laurent polynomials that require also negative moments and 4) Sobolev orthogonal polynomials defined interm of inner products involving derivatives.
