Abstract

We study constant coefficient four term recurrences for polynomials, in analogy to the three-term recurrences that are associated with orthogonal polynomials. We show that for a family of polynomials obeying such a four-term recurrence, the coefficient array is an ordinary Riordan array of a special type, and vice versa. In certain cases, it is possible to transform these polynomials into related orthogonal polynomials. We characterize the form of the production matrices of the inverse coefficient arrays.
