Q-Charlier polynomials

In mathematics, the q-Charlier polynomials are a family of basic hypergeometric orthogonal polynomials in the basic Askey scheme. Template:Harvs give a detailed list of their properties.

Definition

The q-Charlier polynomials are given in terms of the basic hypergeometric function by

<math>\displaystyle c_n(x;a;q) = {}_2\phi_1(q^{-n},x;0;q,-q^{n+1}/a)</math>
