abstract

  • In this paper we analyze a perturbation of a nontrivial positive measure supported on the unit circle. This perturbation is the inverse of the Christoffel transformation and is called the Geronimus transformation. We study the corresponding sequences of monic orthogonal polynomials as well as the connection between the associated Hessenberg matrices. Finally, we show an example of this kind of transformation.
