Polynomial perturbations of bilinear functionals and Hessenberg matrices

This paper deals with symmetric and non-symmetric polynomial perturbations of symmetric quasi-definite bilinear functionals. We establish a relation between the Hessenberg matrices associated with the initial and the perturbed functionals using LU and QR factorizations. Moreover we give an explicit algebraic relation between the sequences of orthogonal polynomials associated with both functionals. (c) 2005 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
