5.24 Al-Salam-Carlitz I --> Charlier / Hermite

Al-Salam-Carlitz I --> Charlier

If we set and in the definition (3.24.1) of the Al-Salam-Carlitz I polynomials and take the limit after dividing by we obtain the Charlier polynomials defined by (1.12.1) :

Al-Salam-Carlitz I --> Hermite

If we set and in the definition (3.24.1) of the Al-Salam-Carlitz I polynomials, divide by , and let q tend to one we obtain the Hermite polynomials given by (1.13.1) with shifted argument. In fact we have
