on orthogonal systems
If the following recurrence relation holds for real numbers $\alpha_n$ and $\beta_n$:
$$P_n(x)=(x-\alpha_n)P_{n-1}(x)-\beta_nP_{n-2}(x),$$
$$P_{-1}(x)=0,\quad P_0=1,$$
then there is a function $\alpha(x)$ of bounded variation such that
$$\int\limits_{-\infty}^\infty P_n(x)P_m(x)\,d\alpha(x)=\begin{cases}0,&n\neq m,\\h_n>0,&m=n.\end{cases}$$
It was established by J. Favard [1]. Sometimes this result is also linked with the name of J. Shohat.
Comments
The theorem had previously been stated by Wintner (1926) and Stone (1932).
