In mathematics, Macdonald-Koornwinder polynomials (also called Koornwinder polynomials) are a family of orthogonal polynomials in several variables, introduced by Koornwinder[1] and I. G. Macdonald,[2] that generalize the Askey–Wilson polynomials. They are the Macdonald polynomials attached to the non-reduced affine root system of type (Cn, Cn), and in particular satisfy analogues of Macdonald's conjectures.({{{1}}}, {{{2}}}) In addition Jan Felipe van Diejen showed that the Macdonald polynomials associated to any classical root system can be expressed as limits or special cases of Macdonald-Koornwinder polynomials and found complete sets of concrete commuting difference operators diagonalized by them.[3] Furthermore, there is a large class of interesting families of multivariable orthogonal polynomials associated with classical root systems which are degenerate cases of the Macdonald-Koornwinder polynomials.[4] The Macdonald-Koornwinder polynomials have also been studied with the aid of affine Hecke algebras.({{{1}}}, {{{2}}}) The Macdonald-Koornwinder polynomial in n variables associated to the partition λ is the unique Laurent polynomial invariant under permutation and inversion of variables, with leading monomial xλ, and orthogonal with respect to the density

[math]\displaystyle{ \prod_{1\le i\lt j\le n} \frac{(x_i x_j,x_i/x_j,x_j/x_i,1/x_ix_j;q)_\infty}{(t x_ix_j,t x_i/x_j,t x_j/x_i,t/x_ix_j;q)_\infty} \prod_{1\le i\le n} \frac{(x_i^2,1/x_i^2;q)_\infty}{(a x_i,a/x_i,b x_i,b/x_i,c x_i,c/x_i,d x_i,d/x_i;q)_\infty} }[/math]

on the unit torus

[math]\displaystyle{ |x_1|=|x_2|=\cdots|x_n|=1 }[/math],

where the parameters satisfy the constraints

[math]\displaystyle{ |a|,|b|,|c|,|d|,|q|,|t|\lt 1, }[/math]

and (x;q) denotes the infinite q-Pochhammer symbol. Here leading monomial xλ means that μ≤λ for all terms xμ with nonzero coefficient, where μ≤λ if and only if μ1≤λ1, μ12≤λ12, …, μ1+…+μn≤λ1+…+λn. Under further constraints that q and t are real and that a, b, c, d are real or, if complex, occur in conjugate pairs, the given density is positive.
