Determinantal Formulas for Rational Perturbations of Multiple Orthogonality Measures
Given multiple orthogonal polynomials on the real line with respect to a system $\bmμ = (μ_1,\ldots,μ_r)$, we investigate multiple orthogonal polynomials associated with any rational perturbation of the form $$ \widetilde{\bmμ}=\Big(\frac{Φ_1}{Ψ_{1}} μ_1,\dots,\frac{Φ_r}{Ψ_r}μ_r\Big), $$ for any polynomials $Φ_1,\dots,Φ_r$ and $Ψ_1,\dots,Ψ_r$. We derive the analogues of Uvarov's determinantal formula for the multiple orthogonal polynomials of type I and type II for $\widetilde{\bmμ}$ and establish necessary and sufficient condition for normality of the indices. The result allows the polynomials $\{Φ_j,Ψ_j\}_{j=1}^r$ to be arbitrary and permits the addition of finitely many point masses to each of the measures $μ_j$. Moreover, the measures $μ_j$ may be taken as quasi-definite linear functionals, which is of interest even in the case $r=1$.
