The case of general complex parameters (nonstandard) is also of interest; the non-Hermitian orthogonality with respect to (now complex-valued) measures is considered on curves in C. Some applications lead to multiple orthogonality with respect to a number of such measures. For a system of r orthogonality measures, the perfectness is an important property: in particular, it implies the uniqueness for the whole family of corresponding multiple orthogonal polynomials and the (r+2)-term recurrence relations. In this paper, we introduce a unified approach which allows to prove the perfectness of the systems of complex measures satisfying Pearson\u2019s equation with nonstandard parameters. We also study the polynomials satisfying multiple orthogonality relations with respect to a system of discrete measures. The well-studied families of multiple Charlier, Krawtchouk, Meixner and Hahn polynomials correspond to the systems of measures defined by the difference Pearson\u2019s equation with standard real parameters. Using the same approach, we verify the perfectness of such systems for general parameters. For some values of the parameters, discrete measures should be replaced with the continuous measures with non-real supports.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/axioms12010089","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,16]],"date-time":"2023-01-16T05:30:07Z","timestamp":1673847007000},"page":"89","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["On Perfectness of Systems of Weights Satisfying Pearson\u2019s Equation with Nonstandard Parameters"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Alexander","family":"Aptekarev","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Keldysh Institute of Applied Mathematics, Russian Academy of Sciences, 125047 Moscow, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alexander","family":"Dyachenko","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Keldysh Institute of Applied Mathematics, Russian Academy of Sciences, 125047 Moscow, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Vladimir","family":"Lysov","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Keldysh Institute of Applied Mathematics, Russian Academy of Sciences, 125047 Moscow, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"18","article-title":"Sur la fonction exponentielle","volume":"77","author":"Hermite","year":"1873","journal-title":"C.
