4.11 Big q-Laguerre

Big q-Jacobi Big q-Laguerre.

  
If we set b = 0 in the definition (3.5.1) of the big q-Jacobi polynomials we obtain the big q-Laguerre polynomials given by (3.11.1) :

Big q-Laguerre Little q-Laguerre / Wall.

    
The little q-Laguerre (or Wall) polynomials defined by (3.20.1) can be obtained from the big q-Laguerre polynomials by taking in (3.11.1) and then letting :

Big q-Laguerre Al-Salam-Carlitz I.

  
If we set and in the definition (3.11.1) of the big q-Laguerre polynomials and take the limit we obtain the Al-Salam-Carlitz I polynomials given by (3.24.1) :
