Two-dimensional contiguous relations for linearization coefficients of orthogonal polynomials in the Askey-scheme

Published

Author(s)

Abstract

By using the three-term recurrence relation for orthogonal polynomials, we produce a collection of two-dimensional contiguous relations for certain generalized hypergeometric functions. These generalized hypergeometric functions arise through linearization coefficients for some classical orthogonal polynomials in the Askey-scheme, namely Gegenbauer (ultraspherical), Hermite, Jacobi and Laguerre polynomials.
