Abstract

In this chapter, we study the orthogonality conditions satisfied by Al-Salam-Carlitz polynomials U(a) n (x; q) when the parameters a and q are not necessarily real nor "classical", i.e., the linear functional u with respect to such a polynomial sequence is quasi-definite and not positive definite. We establish orthogonality on a simple contour in the complex plane which depends on the parameters. In all cases we show that the orthogonality conditions characterize the Al-Salam- Carlitz polynomials U(a) n (x; q) of degree n up to a constant factor. We also obtain a generalization of the unique generating function for these polynomials. © 2018 by World Scientific Publishing Co. Pte. Ltd. All Rights Reserved.
