AbstractWe find the adjoint of the Askey–Wilson divided difference operator with respect to the inner product on L2(–1, 1, (1– x2)½dx) defined as a Cauchy principal value and show that the Askey-Wilson polynomials are solutions of a q-Sturm–Liouville problem. From these facts we deduce various properties of the polynomials in a simple and straightforward way. We also provide an operator theoretic description of the Askey-Wilson operator.

AbstractA 𝔻-semiclassical weight is one which satisfies a particular linear, first-order homogeneous equation in a divided-difference operator 𝔻. It is known that the system of polynomials, orthogonal with respect to this weight, and the associated functions satisfy a linear, first-order homogeneous matrix equation in the divided-difference operator termed thespectral equation. Attached to the spectral equation is a structure which constitutes a number of relations such as those arising from compatibility with the three-term recurrence relation. Here this structure is elucidated in the general case of quadratic lattices. The simplest examples of the 𝔻-semiclassical orthogonal polynomial systems are precisely those in the Askey table of hypergeometric and basic hypergeometric orthogonal polynomials. However within the 𝔻-semiclassical class it is entirely natural to define a generalization of the Askey table weights which involve a deformation with respect to new deformation variables. We completely construct the analogous structures arising from such deformations and their relations with the other elements of the theory. As an example we treat the first nontrivial deformation of the Askey–Wilson orthogonal polynomial system defined by the q-quadratic divided-difference operator, the Askey–Wilson operator, and derive the coupled first-order divided-difference equations characterizing its evolution in the deformation variable. We show that this system is a member of a sequence of classical solutions to theq-Painlevé system.

This paper is concerned with -Sturm-Liouville boundary value problem in the Hilbert space with a spectral parameter in the boundary condition. We construct a self-adjoint dilation of the maximal dissipative -difference operator and its incoming and outcoming spectral representations, which make it possible to determine the scattering matrix of the dilation. We prove theorems on the completeness of the system of eigenvalues and eigenvectors of operator generated by boundary value problem.

In this work, we will consider the singular Hahn--Sturm--Liouville difference equation defined by $-q^{-1}D_{-\omega q^{-1},q^{-1}}D_{\omega ,q}y( x) +v(x) y( x) =\lambda y(x)$, $x\in (\omega _{0},\infty),$ where $\lambda$ is a complex parameter, $v$ is a real-valued continuous function at $\omega _{0}$ defined on $[\omega _{0},\infty)$. These type equations are obtained when the ordinary derivative in the classical Sturm--Liouville problem is replaced by the $\omega,q$-Hahn difference operator $D_{\omega,q}$. We develop the $\omega,q$-analogue of the classical Titchmarsh--Weyl theory for such equations. In other words, we study the existence of square-integrable solutions of the singular Hahn--Sturm--Liouville equation. Accordingly, first we define an appropriate Hilbert space in terms of Jackson--N\"{o}rlund integral and then we study families of regular Hahn--Sturm--Liouville problems on $[\omega_{0},q^{-n}]$, $n\in \mathbb{N}$. Then we define a family of circles that converge either to a point or a circle. Thus, we will define the limit-point, limit-circle cases in the Hahn calculus setting by using Titchmarsh's technique.

The Sturm-Liouville problem with various types of two-point boundary conditions is considered in this paper. In the first part of the paper, we investigate the Sturm-Liouville problem in three cases of nonlocal two-point boundary conditions. We prove general properties of the eigenfunctions and eigenvalues for such a problem in the complex case. In the second part, we investigate the case of real eigenvalues. It is analyzed how the spectrum of these problems depends on the boundary condition parameters. Qualitative behavior of all eigenvalues subject to the nonlocal boundary condition parameters is described.
