Abstract

This paper addresses an investigation on a factorization method for difference equations. It is proved that some classes of second order linear difference operators, acting in Hilbert spaces, can be factorized using a pair of mutually adjoint first order difference operators. These classes encompass equations of hypergeometic type describing classical orthogonal polynomials of a discrete variable.
