Abstract

In the q1q^{-1}-symmetric Askey scheme, namely the q1q^{-1}-Askey--Wilson, continuous dual q1q^{-1}-Hahn, q1q^{-1}-Al-Salam--Chihara, continuous big q1q^{-1}-Hermite and continuous q1q^{-1}-Hermite polynomials, we compute bilateral discrete and continuous orthogonality relations. We also derive a qq-beta integral which comes from the continuous orthogonality relation for the q1q^{-1}-Askey--Wilson polynomials. In the q1q\to 1^{-} limit, this qq-beta integral corresponds to a beta integral of Ramanujan-type which we present and provide two proofs for.
