The q-Krawtchouk polynomials defined by (3.15.1) can be obtained from
the q-Racah polynomials by setting ,
and
in the definition (3.2.1) of the q-Racah polynomials :
Note that in this case.
If we set in the definition (3.6.1) of the q-Hahn polynomials
and then let
we obtain the q-Krawtchouk polynomials defined by
(3.15.1) :
If we set in the definition (3.15.1) of the
q-Krawtchouk polynomials and then take the limit
we
obtain the alternative q-Charlier polynomials defined by
(3.22.1) :
The q-Charlier polynomials given by (3.23.1) can be obtained
from the q-Krawtchouk polynomials defined by (3.15.1) by
setting in the definition (3.15.1) of the
q-Krawtchouk polynomials and then taking the limit
:
