First and second order differential systems for the fundamental matrix, solution of the mentioned Riemann-Hilbert problem, are derived. An explicit and general example is presented to illustrate the theoretical results of the work. The non-Abelian extensions of a family of discrete Painleve IV equations are discussed.engAtribución 3.0 Españajournal articlehttp://dx.doi.org/10.3390/math10081205https://www.mdpi.comopen access51-73Multiple orthogonal polynomialsRecurrence coefficientsDifferential equationsAsymptoticsmodelsFormulasRespectFísica-Modelos matemáticosFísica matemática
