Recurrence relations for the connection coefficients of orthogonal polynomials of a discrete variable on the lattice \(x(s)=q^{2s}\) (Q1298567)

Let \(\{P_k(x)\}\) be any system of classical orthogonal polynomials of a discrete variable such that \[ \sum^{B-1}_0 P_k(x(s)) P_\ell(x(s)) \ell(s)\Delta x(s-1/2)= \delta_{k\ell} d^2_k \] and also \(\overline P_n= \sum^n_0 C_{nk}P_k\), where \(\overline P_n\) is another family of similar polynomials and \(C_{nk}\) are connection coefficients. In this paper the recurrence relations satisfied by the connection coefficient in terms of the coefficients \(\sigma\) and \(\tau\) of the Pearson equation, have been obtained.
