Review text

The main aim of the author is to find a set of polynomials composed of the Meixner polynomials so that they satisfy an orthogonality relation obtained from the relation satisfied by the Meixner polynomials by adding to its weight function a point-mass. The Meixner polynomials \(M_0^{( \beta)} (x;c)\) are defined through the generating function \((1-t/c)(1-t)^{-x-\beta}\) and satisfy the orthogonality relation \[ (1-c)^\beta \sum^\infty_{x=0} {(\beta)_x c^x\over x!}M_m^{(\beta)} (x;c)M_n^{(\beta)} (x;c)={c^{-n} (\beta)_n \over n!} \delta_{mn}, \quad m,n=0,1, \dots \] while the inner product to be satisfied by the generalized polynomials is assumed to be \[ \langle f,g\rangle= (1-c)^\beta \sum^\infty_{x=0} {(\beta)_xc^x \over x!}f(x)g(x) +\mu f(-\beta) g(-\beta). \] By supposing \(0<c<1\) and \(\mu\geq 0\), the author shows that the sought polynomials are of the form \[ M_n^{\beta,\mu}(x;c)=AM_n^{(\beta)} (x;c)+BM_{n-1}^{(\beta+1)} (x;c) \] with certain coefficients \(A\) and \(B\). He shows also that these polynomials are eigen-functions of a certain difference operator of infinite order. Furthermore, by considering another combination of the Meixner polynomials, which includes more terms, he obtains another set of polynomials which are the eigenfunctions of a difference operator of finite order if \(\beta\) is a positive integer. No orthogonality relation is given for these latter.
