Analytic properties of some basic hypergeometric-Sobolev-type orthogonal polynomials

Abstract: In this contribution we consider sequences of monic polynomials orthogonal with respect to a Sobolev-type inner product [ \langle f,g \rangle _{S}:= \langle {\bf u}, f g\rangle +N (\mathscr D_q f)(\alpha) (\mathscr D _{q}g)(\alpha),\qquad \alpha\in \mathbb R, \quad N\ge 0, ] where $\bf u$ is a $q$-classical linear functional and $\mathscr D _{q}$ is the $q$-derivative operator. We obtain some algebraic properties of these polynomials such as an explicit representation, a five-term recurrence relation as well as a second order linear $q$-difference holonomic equation fulfilled by such polynomials. We present an analysis of the behaviour of its zeros function of the mass $N$. In particular, we in the exact values of $N$ such that the smallest (respectively, the greatest) zero of the studied polynomials is located outside of the support of the measure. We conclude this work considering two examples.
