4.1 Askey-Wilson

Askey-Wilson Continuous dual q-Hahn.

  
The continuous dual q-Hahn polynomials defined by (3.3.1) simply follow from the Askey-Wilson polynomials given by (3.1.1) by setting d = 0 in (3.1.1) :

Askey-Wilson Continuous q-Hahn.

  
The continuous q-Hahn polynomials defined by (3.4.1) can be obtained from the Askey-Wilson polynomials given by (3.1.1) by the substitutions , , , and :

Askey-Wilson Big q-Jacobi.

  
The big q-Jacobi polynomials defined by (3.5.1) can be obtained from the Askey-Wilson polynomials by setting , , and in

defined by (3.1.1) and then taking the limit :

Askey-Wilson Continuous q-Jacobi.

  
If we take , , and in the definition (3.1.1) of the Askey-Wilson polynomials and change the normalization we find the continuous q-Jacobi polynomials given by (3.10.1) :

In [345] M. Rahman takes , , and to obtain after a change of normalization the continuous q-Jacobi polynomials defined by (3.10.14) :

As was pointed out in section 0.6 these two q-analogues of the Jacobi polynomials are not really different, since they are connected by the quadratic transformation

Askey-Wilson Continuous q-ultraspherical / Rogers.

    
If we set , , and in the definition (3.1.1) of the Askey-Wilson polynomials and change the normalization we obtain the continuous q-ultraspherical (or Rogers) polynomials defined by (3.10.15). In fact we have :
