Dual q-Hahn polynomials

In mathematics, the dual q-Hahn polynomials are a family of basic hypergeometric orthogonal polynomials in the basic Askey scheme. Roelof Koekoek, Peter A. Lesky, and René F. Swarttouw (2010, 14) give a detailed list of their properties.

Definition

The polynomials are given in terms of basic hypergeometric functions and the Pochhammer symbol by

$\displaystyle$

Orthogonality

Recurrence and difference relations

Rodrigues formula

Generating function

Relation to other polynomials
