Ja. Charris et Meh. Ismail, SIEVED ORTHOGONAL POLYNOMIALS .7. GENERALIZED POLYNOMIAL-MAPPINGS, Transactions of the American Mathematical Society, 340(1), 1993, pp. 71-93
Systems of symmetric orthogonal polynomials whose recurrence relations
are given by compatible blocks of second-order difference equations a
re studied in detail. Applications are given to the theory of the rece
ntly discovered sieved orthogonal polynomials. The connection with pol
ynomial mappings is examined. An example of a family of orthogonal pol
ynomials having discrete masses in the interior of the spectrum is inc
luded.
