If we substitute
in the definition (1.7.1) of the Meixner-Pollaczek polynomials and
then let we obtain the Hermite polynomials :
The Hermite polynomials given by (1.13.1) follow from the Jacobi polynomials
defined by (1.8.1) by taking and letting
in the following way :
The Hermite polynomials given by (1.13.1) follow from the
Gegenbauer (or ultraspherical) polynomials defined by (1.8.15)
by taking and letting in the
following way :
The Hermite polynomials follow from the Krawtchouk polynomials defined by
(1.10.1) by setting and
then letting :
The Hermite polynomials defined by (1.13.1) can be obtained from the
Laguerre polynomials given by (1.11.1) by taking the limit
in the following way :
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
