Medem, J. C. A family of singular semi-classical functionals. (English) Zbl 1031.42025 Indag. Math., New Ser. 13, No. 3, 351-362 (2002). The distributional equation of a semi-classical functional provides an efficient way to study the properties of the semi-classical OPS/functionals. A particular case of semi-classical OPS/functionals are the classical ones. For the distributional equation of classical functionals a regularity condition holds. The main result of the present paper is to show that in general such condition does not hold. The examples of semi-classical functionals that satisfy certains singular equation are built and an explicit representation of the corresponding monic orthogonal polynomials as well as the recurrence relations are found.
