If we take in the definition (1.9.1) of the Meixner polynomials
and let we find the Charlier polynomials :
The Charlier polynomials given by (1.12.1) can be found from the Krawtchouk polynomials defined
by (1.10.1) by taking and let :
If we set in the definition (1.12.1)
of the Charlier polynomials and let we find the Hermite
polynomials defined by (1.13.1). In fact we have
