Al-Salam–Carlitz polynomials

In mathematics, Al-Salam–Carlitz polynomials U(a)
n(x;q) and V(a)
n(x;q) are two families of basic hypergeometric orthogonal polynomials in the basic Askey scheme, introduced by Al-Salam and Carlitz (1965). Roelof Koekoek, Peter A. Lesky, and René F. Swarttouw (2010, 14.24, 14.25) give a detailed list of their properties.

Definition

The Al-Salam–Carlitz polynomials are given in terms of basic hypergeometric functions by

U_{n}^{(a)}(x;q)=(-a)^{n}q^{n(n-1)/2}{}_{2}\phi _{1}(q^{-n},x^{-1};0;q,qx/a)

V_{n}^{(a)}(x;q)=(-a)^{n}q^{-n(n-1)/2}{}_{2}\phi _{0}(q^{-n},x;;q,q^{n}/a)
