Moments of askey-wilson polynomials

Research output: Contribution to journalConference articlepeer-review

Abstract

New formulas for the nth moment μn(a, b, c, d; q) of the Askey-Wilson polynomials are given. These are derived using analytic techniques, and by considering three combinatorial models for the moments: Motzkin paths, matchings, and staircase tableaux. A related positivity theorem is given and another one is conjectured.
