Abstract

We use and derive connection and connection-type relations for Meixner and Krawtchouk polynomials. These relations are used to derive generalizations of generating functions for these orthogonal polynomials. The coefficients of these generalized generating functions are given in term of double hypergeometric functions. From these generalized generating functions, we derive corresponding infinite series expressions by using the orthogonality relations.
