In mathematics, the q-Meixner 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 by

M n ( q x ; b , c ; q ) = 2 ϕ 1 [ q n , q x b q ; q , q n + 1 c ] . {\displaystyle M_{n}(q^{-x};b,c;q)={}_{2}\phi _{1}\left[{\begin{matrix}q^{-n},q^{-x}\\bq\end{matrix}};q,-{\frac {q^{n+1}}{c}}\right].}
