Continuous dual q-Hahn polynomials

In mathematics, the continuous dual q-Hahn 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 and the Pochhammer symbol by

$p_n(x;a,b,c\mid q)=\frac{(ab,ac;q{)}_n}{a^n}\cdot 3_{}{\mathrm{\Phi }}_2(q^{-}n,a{e}^{i\theta },a{e}^{-i\theta };ab,ac\mid q;q)$

In which $x=\cos (\theta )$
