The continuous dual Hahn polynomials can be found from the Wilson polynomials
defined by (1.1.1) by dividing by and letting :
where is defined by (1.3.1).
The continuous Hahn polynomials defined by (1.4.1) are obtained from
the Wilson polynomials by the substitution , ,
, and in the definition
(1.1.1) of the Wilson polynomials and the limit
in the following way :
The Jacobi polynomials given by (1.8.1) can be found from the Wilson
polynomials by substituting , ,
and in the
definition (1.1.1) of the Wilson polynomials and taking the limit
. In fact we have
