On the generalized Askey-Wilson polynomials

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: In this paper the general Krall-type Askey-Wilson polynomials are introduced. These polynomials are obtained from the Askey-Wilson polynomials via the addition of two mass points to the weight function of them at the points pm1. Several properties of such new family are considered, in particular the three-term recurrence relation and the representation as basic hypergeometric series.


The paper deals with the study of a family of polynomials which generalizes the Askey-Wilson polynomials. First the authors present some preliminary results about the Askey-Wilson polynomials. Next they consider a modification of the Askey-Wilson polynomials obtained by adding two mass points to the weight function at the endpoints \(\pm 1\) of the interval of orthogonality. They obtain several properties of the generalized Askey-Wilson polynomials such as different representation formulas and a second order linear \(q\)-difference equation with polynomial coefficients which explicitly depend on the degree of the polynomial. They also obtain the three term recurrence relation satisfied by these polynomials and a representation in terms of basic hypergeometric series.
