R. Floreanini et al., SYMMETRY TECHNIQUES FOR THE AL-SALAM-CHIHARA POLYNOMIALS, Journal of physics. A, mathematical and general, 30(9), 1997, pp. 3107-3114
An algebraic interpretation for the Al-Salam-Chihara q-orthogonal poly
nomials is presented. Using an explicit realization in terms of divide
d difference operators, their symmetry q-algebra is determined and stu
died. This algebraic structure allows one to derive a new expansion fo
rmula for these polynomials.
