The Meixner-Pollaczek polynomials given by (1.7.1) can be obtained from the continuous dual Hahn polynomials
by the substitutions , , and in the definition
(1.3.1) and the limit :
By taking , , and
in the definition (1.4.1) of the continuous Hahn polynomials and taking the limit
we obtain the Meixner-Pollaczek polynomials defined by (1.7.1) :
The Laguerre polynomials can be obtained from the Meixner-Pollaczek polynomials defined by (1.7.1)
by the substitution ,
and letting :
If we substitute
in the definition (1.7.1) of the Meixner-Pollaczek polynomials and
then let we obtain the Hermite polynomials :
