We define the semi-classical linear functionals by means of a distributional equation $D(u A) = u B,$ where $A$ and $B$ are matrix polynomials. Several characterizations for these semi-classical functionals are given in terms of the corresponding (left) matrix orthogonal polynomials sequence. They involve a quasi-orthogonality property for their derivatives, a structure relation and a second order differo-differential equation. Finally we illustrate the preceding results with some non-trivial examples.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2002-05-09T11:38:13.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "42C05" ], "keywords": [ "differential properties", "second order differo-differential equation", "matrix orthogonal polynomials sequence", "semi-classical matrix orthogonal polynomials", "general theory" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 23, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2002math......5094C" } } }
