R. Alvarez-nodarse et Rs. Costas-santos, Factorization method for difference equations of hypergeometric type on nonuniform lattices, J PHYS A, 34(27), 2001, pp. 5551-5569
We study the factorization of the hypergeometric-type difference equation o
f Nikiforov and Uvarov on nonuniform lattices. An explicit form of the rais
ing and lowering operators is derived and some relevant examples are given.
