Heckman-Opdam polynomials are a family of orthogonal polynomials that arise in the context of root systems and are closely related to theories in mathematical physics, representation theory, and algebraic combinatorics. They are named after two mathematicians, W. Heckman and E. Opdam, who introduced and studied these polynomials in the context of harmonic analysis on symmetric spaces.
