Matrix polynomials satisfying first order differential equations and three term recurrence relations

AbstractWe describe families of matrix valued polynomials satisfying simultaneously a first order differential equation and a three term recurrence relation. Our goal is to address the classification of the matrix valued polynomials satisfying first order differential equations through the solutions of the so-called bispectral problem. At the heart of this lies the need to solve some complicated nonlinear equations with matrix coefficients called ad-conditions. The solutions of these equations are studied under a variety of sufficient conditions on its coefficients
