Some results on co-recursive associated Meixner and Charlier polynomials

摘要

An explicit representation of the co-recursive associated Meixner polynomials is given in terms of hypergeometric functions. This representation allows to derive a generating function, the Stieltjes transform of the orthogonality measure and the fourth-order difference equation verified by these polynomials. Special attention is given to some simple limiting cases ocurring in the solution of the Chapman-Kolmogorov equation of linear birth and death processes.
