A pair (U, V) of Hermitian regular linear functionals on the unit circle is said to be a (1, 1)-coherent pair if their corresponding sequences of monic orthogonal polynomials { ()} ≥0 and { ()} ≥0 satisfy [1] ()+ [1] −1 () =  ()+ −1 (), ̸ =0, ≥1, where [1] () =  +1 ()/( + 1). In this contribution, we consider the cases when U is the linear functional associated with the Lebesgue and Bernstein-Szeg˝ o measures, respectively, and we obtain a classifcation of the situations where V is associated with either a positive nontrivial measure or its rational spectral transformation. 1. Introduction A pair (U, V) of regular linear functionals on the linear space of polynomials with real coefcients P is a (1, 1)-coherent pair if and only if their corresponding sequences of monic orthogonal polynomials (SMOP) { ()} ≥0 and { ()} ≥0 satisfy +1 () +1 + () = () +  −1 (), ̸ = 0,  ≥ 1. (1) Tis concept is a generalization of the notion of coherent pair, for us (1, 0)-coherent pair, introduced by Iserles et al. in [1], where =0, for every ≥1. In the work by Delgado and Marcell´ an [2], the notion of a generalized coherent pair of measures, in short, (1, 1)- coherent pair of measures, arose as a necessary and sufcient condition for the existence of an algebraic relation between the SMOP { (; )} ≥0 associated with the Sobolev inner product ⟨(),()⟩ =∫ R ()() 0 +∫ R () ()  1 ,  > 0, ,  ∈ P, (2) and the SMOP { ()} ≥0 associated with the positive Borel measure 0 in the real line as follows: +1 (;)+ () (; ) = +1 () + +1 (),  ≥ 1, (3) where { ()} ≥1 are rational functions in >0. Besides, they obtained the classifcation of all (1, 1)-coherent pairs of regular functionals (U, V) and proved that at least one of them must be semiclassical of class at most 1, and U and V are related by a rational type expression. Tis is a generalization of the results of Meijer [3] for the (1, 0)- coherence case (when =0, ≥1), where either U or V must be a classical linear functional. Te most general case of the notion of coherent pair was studied by de Jesus et al. in [4] (see also [5]), the so-called (, )-coherent pairs of order (, ), where the derivatives of order and of two SMOP { ()} ≥0 and { ()} ≥0 with respect to the regular linear functionals U and V are related by =0 −,, () +− () = =0 −,, () +− (),  ≥ 0, (4)
