q-Bessel polynomials

In mathematics, the q-Bessel polynomials are a family of basic hypergeometric orthogonal polynomials in the basic Askey scheme. Roelof Koekoek, Peter A. Lesky, and René F. Swarttouw (2010, 14) give a detailed list of their properties.

Definition

The polynomials are given in terms of basic hypergeometric functions by ^[1]：

${\displaystyle y_{n}(x;a;q)=\;{}_{2}\phi _{1}\left({\begin{matrix}q^{-n}&-aq^{n}\\0\end{matrix}};q,qx\right).}$

Also known as alternative q-Charlier polynomials ${\displaystyle K(x;a;q).}$

Orthogonality

${\displaystyle \sum _{k=0}^{\infty }\left({\frac {a^{k}}{(q;q)_{n}}}*q^{k+1 \choose 2}*y_{m}*(q^{k};a;q)*y_{n}*(q^{k};a;q)\right)=(q;q)_{n}*(-aq^{n};q)_{\infty }{\frac {a^{n}*q^{n+1 \choose 2}}{1+aq^{2n}}}\delta _{mn}}$^[2]

where ${\displaystyle (q;q)_{n}{\text{ and }}(-aq^{n};q)_{\infty }}$ are q-Pochhammer symbols.
