Random walks and orthogonal polynomials: some challenges

Abstract

The study of several naturally arising "nearest neighbours" random walks benefits from the study of the associated orthogonal polynomials and their orthogonality measure. I consider extensions of this approach to a larger class of random walks. This raises a number of open problems.
