The generalized Krawtchouk polynomials and the fifth Painlevé equation

Lies Boelen, Galina Filipuk, Christophe Smet, Walter Van Assche, Lun Zhang

Published 2012-04-23, updated 2012-11-30Version 2

We study the recurrence coefficients of the orthogonal polynomials with respect to a semi-classical extension of the Krawtchouk weight. We derive a coupled discrete system for these coefficients and show that they satisfy the fifth Painlev\'e equation when viewed as functions of one of the parameters in the weight.
