The pairwise-Leonard criterion for Leonard triples
Let be a finite-dimensional vector space over of positive dimension, and let be linear transformations. A Leonard pair is a pair of transformations for which one is diagonal and the other is irreducible tridiagonal in suitable bases. The pairwise-Leonard criterion. If each two-element subset of is a Leonard pair on , then is a Leonard triple on , meaning that each member can be diagonalized in a basis in which the other two are irreducible tridiagonal. The problem asks for a classification of Leonard triples; no resolution of this implication is supplied in the source.
