Rogers–Szegő polynomials

In mathematics, the Rogers–Szegő polynomials are a family of polynomials orthogonal on the unit circle introduced by Szegő (1926), who was inspired by the continuous q-Hermite polynomials studied by Leonard James Rogers. They are given by

h_n(x;q) = \sum_{k=0}^n\frac{(q;q)_n}{(q;q)_k(q;q)_{n-k}}x^k

where (q;q)_n is the descending q-Pochhammer symbol.

Furthermore, the $h_{n}(x;q)$ satisfy (for $n\geq 1$ ) the recurrence relation^[1]

h_{n+1}(x;q)=(1+x)h_{n}(x;q)+x(q^{n}-1)h_{n-1}(x;q)

with $h_{0}(x;q)=1$ and $h_{1}(x;q)=1+x$ .
