Abstract

We study tridiagonal pairs of type II. These involve two linear transformations AA and AA^\star. We define two bases. In the first one, AA acts as a diagonal matrix while AA^\star acts as a block tridiagonal matrix, and in the second one, AA acts as a block tridiagonal matrix while AA^\star acts as a diagonal matrix. We obtain the change of basis coefficients between these two bases. The coefficients are special functions that are written as a nested product of polynomials that resemble Racah polynomials but involve shift operators in their expression.
