We give a Riemann{Hilbert approach to the theory of matrix orthogonal poly- nomials. We will focus on the algebraic aspects of the problem, obtaining difference and differential relations satisfied by the corresponding orthogonal polynomials. We will show that in the matrix case there is some extra freedom that allows us to obtain a family of lad- der operators, some of them of 0-th order, something that is not possible in the scalar case. The combination of the ladder operators will lead to a…

Asymptotics of matrix valued orthogonal polynomials on ~$[-1,1]$

We analyze the large degree asymptotic behavior of matrix valued orthogonal polynomials (MVOPs), with a weight that consists of a Jacobi scalar factor and a matrix part. Using the Riemann–Hilbert…

It is shown that the Christoffel–Darboux (CD) kernel, which is built in terms of matrix orthogonal polynomials, is equivalent to a scalar valued reproducing kernel of meromorphic functions in a Riemann surface.

Matrix-valued orthogonal polynomials related to hexagon tilings

This paper shows that the MVOP can be expressed in terms of scalar polynomials with non-Hermitian orthogonality on a closed contour in the complex plane and finds the limiting zero distribution of the upper right entry under a geometric condition on the curve Σ̃0 that was unable to prove, but was convincingly supported by numerical evidence.
