Abstract
We analyze co-recursivity for indeterminate Hamburger moment problems and the duality transformation of Karlin and McGregor for indeterminate Stieltjes moment problems. In both cases the transformed Nevanlinna matrix is given and the Nevanlinna extremal measures are discussed. An example involving associated polynomials, relevant for a quartic birth and death process, is worked out.
