The associated classical orthogonal polynomials (Q2760158)

The paper is concerned with polynomials that satisfy the three-term recurrence relation NEWLINE\[NEWLINE\begin{aligned} p_{n+1}(x) & =(A_{n+c}x+ B_{n+c})p_n(x)-C_{n+c} p_{n-1}(x),\;n\in\mathbb{N}_0,\\ p_{-1}(x) & =0,\quad p_0(x)=1, \end{aligned}NEWLINE\]NEWLINE where \(c=0\) corresponds to a classical system, while \(c\neq 0\) yields an associated system. Some examples where such polynomials occur are given in the first section. Next, the author considers the problem of finding measures of orthogonality for the polynomials; four methods (using moments, generating function, suitable special functions, and minimal soulutions, respectively) are reviewed and discussed. Finally, some particular cases are considered at some length, viz., the associated Askey-Wilson polynomials, the continuous \(q\)-Jacobi polynomials, the continuous \(q\)-ultraspherical polynomials, and the associated Wilson polynomials. There is a rather extensive bibliography.NEWLINENEWLINEFor the entire collection see [Zbl 0969.00053].
