Abstract: In this talk we establish the necessary and sufficient conditions for the reality of all the zeros in a polynomial sequence {Pi } generated by a three-term recurrence relation \(P_i (x) + Q_1 (x)P_{i−1} (x) + Q_2 (x)P_{i-2}(x) = 0\) with the standard initial conditions \(P_0(x) = 1, P_{-1} (x) = 0\), where \(Q_1(x)\) and \(Q_2(x)\) are arbitrary real polynomials.
