ABSTRACT Szegő's procedure to connect orthogonal polynomials on the unit circle and orthogonal polynomials on [−1,1] is generalized to nonsymmetric measures. It generates the so-called semi-orthogonal functions on the linear space of Laurent polynomials Λ, and leads to a new orthogonality structure in the module Λ×Λ. This structure can be interpreted in terms of a 2×2 matrix measure on [−1,1], and semi-orthogonal functions provide the corresponding sequence of orthogonal matrix polynomials. This gives a connection between orthogonal polynomials on the unit circle and certain classes of matrix orthogonal polynomials on [−1,1]. As an application, the strong asymptotics of these matrix orthogonal polynomials is derived, obtaining an explicit expression for the corresponding Szegő's matrix function.

##### Article: On a class of polynomials orthogonal with respect to a discrete Sobolev inner product
[hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: This paper analyzes polynomials orthogonal with respect to the Sobolev inner product with and ϱ(x)is a weight function.We study this family of orthogonal polynomials, as linked to the polynomials orthogonal with respect to ϱ(x) and we find the recurrence relation verified by such a family. If the weight ϱ is semiclassical we obtain a second order differential equation for these polynomials. Finally, an illustrative example is shown.

##### Article: Orthogonal matrix polynomials and applications
[hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Orthogonal matrix polynomials, on the real line or on the unit circle, have properties which are natural generalizations of properties of scalar orthogonal polynomials, appropriately modified for the matrix calculus. We show that orthogonal matrix polynomials, both on the real line and on the unit circle, appear at various places and we describe some of them. The spectral theory of doubly infinite Jacobi matrices can be described using orthogonal 2×2 matrix polynomials on the real line. Scalar orthogonal polynomials with a Sobolev inner product containing a finite number of derivatives can be studied using matrix orthogonal polynomials on the real line. Orthogonal matrix polynomials on the unit circle are related to unitary block Hessenberg matrices and are very useful in multivariate time series analysis and multichannel signal processing. Finally we show how orthogonal matrix polynomials can be used for Gaussian quadrature of matrix-valued functions. Parallel algorithms for this purpose have been implemented (using PVM) and some examples are worked out.

• ##### Article: Scattering theory and matrix orthogonal polynomials on the real line
[hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The techniques of scattering and inverse scattering theory are used to investigate the properties of matrix orthogonal polynomials. The discrete matrix analog of the Jost function is introduced and its properties investigated. The matrix distribution function with respect to which the polynomials are orthonormal is constructed. The discrete matrix analog of the Marchenko equation is derived and used to obtain further results on the matrix Jost function and the distribution function.
