In mathematics, the multiple orthogonal polynomials (MOPs) are orthogonal polynomials in one variable that are orthogonal with respect to a finite family of measures. The polynomials are divided into two classes named type 1 and type 2.López-Lagomasino, G. (2021). An Introduction to Multiple Orthogonal Polynomials and Hermite-Padé Approximation.

In the literature, MOPs are also called -orthogonal polynomials, Hermite-Padé polynomials or polyorthogonal polynomials. MOPs should not be confused with multivariate orthogonal polynomials. Multiple orthogonal polynomials Consider a multiindex and positive measures over the reals. As usual . MOP of type 1 Polynomials for are of type 1 if the -th polynomial has at most degree such that
and
Explanation This defines a system of equations for the coefficients of the polynomials .
MOP of type 2 A monic polynomial is of type 2 if it has degree such that
Explanation If we write out, we get the following definition
