Abstract

The Gauss–Borel or LU factorization of Gram matrices of bilinear forms is the pivotal element in the discussion of the theory of biorthogonal polynomials. The construction of biorthogonal families of polynomials and its second kind functions, of the spectral matrices modeling the multiplication by the independent variable x, the Christoffel–Darboux kernel and its projection properties, are discussed from this point of view. Then, the Hankel case is presented and different properties, specific of this case, as the three terms relations, Heine formulas, Gauss quadrature and the Christoffel–Darboux formula are given. The classical orthogonal polynomial of Hermite, Laguerre and Jacobi type are discussed and characterized within this scheme. Finally, it is shown who this approach is instrumental in the derivation of Christoffel formulas for general Christoffel and Geronimus perturbations of the bilinear forms.
