Let U and V be two moment regular linear functionals and let (P_n)_n and Q_n)_n be their corresponding orthogonal polynomial sequences (OPS). We discuss an inverse problem in the theory of discrete orthogonal polynomials involving the above two OPS assuming that their difference derivatives $D_\\nu$ of higher orders m and k (resp.) are connected by a linear algebraic structure relation such as $$ \\sum_{i=0}^M a_{i,n} D_\\nu^m P_{n+m-i}(x) = \\sum_{i=0}^N b_{i,n} D_\\nu^k Q_{n+k-i}(x), \\quad n\\geq 0, $$ where $M,N,m,k=0,1,2,... Under certain conditions, we prove that U and V are related by a rational factor \\c{c} (in the distributional sense). Moreover, when m\\neq k then both U and V are D_v-semiclassical functionals. This leads us to the concept of (M,N)-D_v-coherent pair of order (m,k) extending to the discrete case several previous works. As an application we consider the OPS with respect to a certain following Sobolev-type discrete inner product.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2014-07-01T13:22:37.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "33C45", "41A10", "42C05" ], "keywords": [ "discrete orthogonal polynomials", "difference derivatives", "linearly related sequences", "sobolev-type discrete inner product", "moment regular linear functionals" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 20, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2014arXiv1402.0773A" } } }
