A $3\times 3$ singular solution to the Matrix Bochner Problem with $\mathcal{D}(W)$ not of the form $\mathbb{C}[D]$

The Matrix Bochner Problem aims to classify weight matrices whose sequences of orthogonal polynomials are eigenfunctions of a second-order differential operator. A major breakthrough in this direction was achieved in [7], where it was shown that, under certain natural conditions on the algebra $\mathcal{D}(W)$, all solutions arise from Darboux transformations of direct sums of classical scalar weights. In this paper, we study a new $3 \times 3$ Hermite-type weight matrix and determine its algebra $\mathcal{D}(W)$ as a $\mathbb{C}[D_1]$-module generated by $\{I, D_2\}$, where $D_{1}$ and $D_{2}$ are second-order differential operators. This complete description of the algebra allows us to prove that the weight does not arise from a Darboux transformation of classical scalar weights, showing that it falls outside the classification theorem of [7]. Unlike previous examples in [3,4], which also do not fit within this classification, the algebra $\mathcal{D}(W)$ of this weight matrix is not generated by a single differential operator $D$, making it a fundamentally different case. These results complement the classification theorem of the Matrix Bochner Problem by providing a new type of singular example.

Using quasi-Darboux transformations to construct exceptional matrix polynomials

We introduce a couple of methods to construct exceptional matrix polynomials. One of them uses what we have called quasi-Darboux transformations. This seems to be a more powerful method to deal with the non-commutativity problems that appear when matrix-valued polynomials are considered. The other method does not use any transformation of Darboux type. Using both methods, we construct a collection of five illustrative examples that show how powerful our two methods are. The examples include exceptional matrix polynomials of Hermite, Laguerre, and Gegenbauer type, as well as an example with a weight matrix having a Dirac delta.

Explicit construction of matrix-valued orthogonal polynomials of arbitrary size

In this paper, we explicitly provide expressions for a sequence of orthogonal polynomials associated with a weight matrix of size $N$ constructed from a collection of scalar weights $w_{1}, \ldots, w_{N}$: $$W(x) = T(x)\operatorname{diag}(w_{1}(x), \ldots, w_{N}(x))T(x)^{\ast},$$ where $T(x)$ is a specific polynomial matrix. We provide sufficient conditions on the scalar weights to ensure that the weight matrix $W$ is irreducible. Furthermore, we give sufficient conditions on the scalar weights to ensure the constructed sequence of matrix orthogonal polynomials is an eigenfunction of a differential operator. We also study the Darboux transformations and bispectrality of the orthogonal polynomials in the particular case where the scalar weights are the classical weights of Jacobi, Hermite, and Laguerre. With these results, we construct a wide variety of bispectral matrix-valued orthogonal polynomials of arbitrary size, which satisfy a second-order differential equation.

Matrix-valued bispectral discrete orthogonal polynomials

We develop a unified construction of matrix-valued orthogonal polynomials associated with discrete weights, yielding bispectral sequences as eigenfunctions of second-order difference operators. This general framework extends the discrete families in the classical Askey scheme to the matrix setting by producing explicit matrix analogues of the Krawtchouk, Hahn, Meixner, and Charlier polynomials. Our results include explicit expressions for the weights, the orthogonal polynomials, and the corresponding difference operators.

Structure of operator algebras for matrix orthogonal polynomials

In this paper, we study the structure of the differential operator algebra \( \mathcal{D}(W) \) and its associated eigenvalue algebra \( Λ(W) \) for matrix-valued orthogonal polynomials. While \( Λ(W) \) is isomorphic to \( \mathcal{D}(W) \), its simpler framework allows us to efficiently derive strong results about \( \mathcal{D}(W) \) and its center \( \mathcal{Z}(W) \). We analyze the behavior of the center under Darboux transformations, establishing explicit relationships between the centers of Darboux-equivalent weights. These results are illustrated through the study of both reducible and irreducible matrix weights, including a detailed analysis of an irreducible Jacobi-type weight.

The algebra $\mathcal{D}(W)$ via strong Darboux transformations

The Matrix Bochner Problem aims to classify weight matrices $W$ such that the algebra $\mathcal D(W)$, of all differential operators that have a sequence of matrix-valued orthogonal polynomials for $W$ as eigenfunctions, contains a second-order differential operator. In \cite{CY18} it is proven that, under certain assumptions, the solutions to the Matrix Bochner Problem can be obtained through a noncommutative bispectral Darboux transformation of some classical scalar weights. The main aim of this paper is to introduce the concept of strong Darboux transformation among weight matrices and explore the relationship between the algebras $\mathcal{D}(W)$ and $\mathcal{D}(\widetilde{W})$ when $\widetilde{W}$ is a strong Darboux transformation of $W$. Starting from a direct sum of classical scalar weights $\widetilde W$, and leveraging our complete knowledge of the algebra of $\mathcal D(\widetilde W)$, we can easily determine the algebra $\mathcal D(W)$ of a weight $W$ that is a strong Darboux transformation of $\widetilde W$.

Darboux transformations and the algebra $\mathcal{D}(W)$

The problem of finding weight matrices $W(x)$ of size $N \times N$ such that the associated sequence of matrix-valued orthogonal polynomials are eigenfunctions of a second-order matrix differential operator is known as the Matrix Bochner Problem, and it is closely related to Darboux transformations of some differential operators. This paper aims to study Darboux transformations between weight matrices and to establish a direct connection with the structure of the algebra $\mathcal D(W)$ of all differential operators that have a sequence of matrix-valued orthogonal polynomials with respect to $W$ as eigenfunctions.

Singular solutions of the matrix Bochner problem: the $N$-dimensional cases

In the theory of matrix-valued orthogonal polynomials, there exists a longstanding problem known as the Matrix Bochner Problem: the classification of all $N \times N$ weight matrices $W(x)$ such that the associated orthogonal polynomials are eigenfunctions of a second-order differential operator. In [4], Casper and Yakimov made an important breakthrough in this area, proving that, under certain hypotheses, every solution to this problem can be obtained as a bispectral Darboux transformation of a direct sum of classical scalar weights. In the present paper, we construct three families of weight matrices $W(x)$ of size $N \times N$, associated with Hermite, Laguerre, and Jacobi weights, which can be considered 'singular' solutions to the Matrix Bochner Problem because they cannot be obtained as a Darboux transformation of classical scalar weights.

Singular examples of the Matrix Bochner Problem

The Matrix Bochner Problem aims to classify which weight matrices have their sequence of orthogonal polynomials as eigenfunctions of a second-order differential operator. Casper and Yakimov, in [4], demonstrated that, under certain hypotheses, all solutions to the Matrix Bochner Problem are noncommutative bispectral Darboux transformations of a direct sum of classical scalar weights. This paper aims to provide the first proof that there are solutions to the Matrix Bochner Problem that do not arise through a noncommutative bispectral Darboux transformation of any direct sum of classical scalar weights. This initial example could contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of the general solution to the Matrix Bochner Problem.

On a new equivalence relation for matrix-valued orthogonal polynomials

In this work, we give some criteria that allow us to decide when two sequences of matrix-valued orthogonal polynomials are related via a Darboux transformation and how to build such a transformation explicitly. In particular, they allow us to see when and how any given sequence of polynomials is Darboux-related to classic orthogonal polynomials. We also explore the notion of Darboux-irreducibility and study some sequences that are not a Darboux transformation of classical orthogonal polynomials.
