abstract

  • We study the relation between certain non-degenerate lower Hessenberg infinite matrices G and the existence of sequences of orthogonal polynomials with respect to Sobolev inner products. In other words, we extend the well-known Favard theorem for Sobolev orthogonality. We characterize the structure of the matrix G and the associated matrix of formal moments MG in terms of certain matrix operators.
