4.15 q-Krawtchouk

q-Racah q-Krawtchouk.

  
The q-Krawtchouk polynomials defined by (3.15.1) can be obtained from the q-Racah polynomials by setting , and in the definition (3.2.1) of the q-Racah polynomials :

Note that in this case.

q-Hahn q-Krawtchouk.

  
If we set in the definition (3.6.1) of the q-Hahn polynomials and then let we obtain the q-Krawtchouk polynomials defined by (3.15.1) :

q-Krawtchouk Alternative q-Charlier.

  
If we set in the definition (3.15.1) of the q-Krawtchouk polynomials and then take the limit we obtain the alternative q-Charlier polynomials defined by (3.22.1) :

q-Krawtchouk q-Charlier.

  
The q-Charlier polynomials given by (3.23.1) can be obtained from the q-Krawtchouk polynomials defined by (3.15.1) by setting in the definition (3.15.1) of the q-Krawtchouk polynomials and then taking the limit :
