Abstract

Using Casorati determinants of Hahn polynomials (hnα,β,N)n(h_n^{\alpha,\beta,N})_n, we construct for each pair \F=(F1,F2)\F=(F_1,F_2) of finite sets of positive integers polynomials hnα,β,N;\Fh_n^{\alpha,\beta,N;\F}, nσ\Fn\in \sigma _\F, which are eigenfunctions of a second order difference operator, where σ\F\sigma _\F is certain set of nonnegative integers, σ\F\NN\sigma _\F \varsubsetneq \NN. When N\NNN\in \NN and α\alpha, β\beta, NN and \F\F satisfy a suitable admissibility condition, we prove that the polynomials hnα,β,N;\Fh_n^{\alpha,\beta,N;\F} are also orthogonal and complete with respect to a positive measure (exceptional Hahn polynomials). By passing to the limit, we transform the Casorati determinant of Hahn polynomials into a Wronskian type determinant of Jacobi polynomials (Pnα,β)n(P_n^{\alpha,\beta})_n. Under suitable conditions for α\alpha, β\beta and \F\F, these Wronskian type determinants turn out to be exceptional Jacobi polynomials.
