G. Bangerezako, The fourth order difference equation for the Laguerre-Hahn polynomials orthogonal on special non-uniform lattices, RAMANUJAN J, 5(2), 2001, pp. 167-181
We firstly establish the fourth order difference equation satisfied by the
Laguerre-Hahn polynomials orthogonal on special non-uniform lattices in gen
eral case, secondly give it explicitly for the cases of polynomials r-assoc
iated to the classical polynomials orthogonal on linear, q-linear and q-non
linear (Askey-Wilson) lattices, and thirdly give it "semi-explicitly" for t
he class one Laguerre-Hahn polynomials orthogonal on linear lattice.
