We construct 3 finite systems of $4-F-3$ hypergeometric orthogonal polynomials. The weights are 1) the weight defined by the $5-H-5$ Dougall summation formula; 2) the integrand in the Askey beta-integral; 3) the weight $w(s)=|p(s)/q(s)|^2$,…

In this paper, we discuss new results related to the generalized discrete $q$-Hermite II polynomials $ \tilde h_{n,\alpha}(x;q)$, introduced by Mezlini et al. in 2014. Our aim is to give a continuous orthogonality relation, a $q$-integral…

Positive discrete series representations of the Lie algebra $su(1,1)$ and the quantum algebra $U_q(su(1,1))$ are considered. The diagonalization of a self-adjoint operator (the Hamiltonian) in these representations and in tensor products of…
In this survey paper, we exhaustively explore the terminating basic hypergeometric representations of the Askey-Wilson polynomials and the corresponding terminating basic hypergeometric transformations that these polynomials satisfy. From…
We study a family of "classical" orthogonal polynomials which satisfy (apart from a 3-term recurrence relation) an eigenvalue problem with a differential operator of Dunkl-type. These polynomials can be obtained from the little $q$-Jacobi…
It is well known that the classical families of orthogonal polynomials are characterized as eigenfunctions of a second order linear differential/difference operator. In this paper we present a study of classical orthogonal polynomials in a…
A $\tphin$ contiguous relation is used to derive contiguous relations for a very-well-poised $\ephis$. These in turn yield solutions to the associated $q$-Askey-Wilson polynomial recurrence relation, expressions for the associated continued…

Upon solving a finite discrete reduction of the difference Heun equation, we arrive at an elliptic generalization of the Racah polynomials. We exhibit the three-term recurrence relation and the orthogonality relations for these elliptic…
We define and study distributions in R^{d} that we call q-Normal. For q=1 they are really multidimensional Normal, for q\in(-1,1) they have densities, compact support and many properties that resemble properties of ordinary multidimensional…
Following work of Mazur-Tate and Satoh, we extend the definition of division polynomials to arbitrary isogenies of elliptic curves, including those whose kernels do not sum to the identity. In analogy to the classical case of division…
