AbstractWe give complex weight functions with respect to which the Jacobi, Laguerre, little q-Jacobi and Askey-Wilson polynomials are orthogonal. The complex functions obtained are weight functions in a wider range of parameters than the real weight functions. They also provide an alternative to the recent distributional weight functions of Morton and Krall, and the more recent hyperfunction weight functions of Kim.

The q-shifted factorial (a)n or (a; q)n isand an empty product is interpreted as 1. Recently, Askey and Wilson [6] introduced the polynomials1.1where1.2and1.3We shall refer to these polynomials as the Askey-Wilson polynomials or the orthogonal 4ϕ3 polynomials. They generalize the 6 — j symbols and are the most general classical orthogonal polynomials, [2].

SynopsisThese polynomials, which are intimately connected with the Legendre, Laguerre and Jacobi polynomials, are orthogonal with respect to Stieltjes weight functions which are absolutely continuous on (− 1, 1), (0, ∞) and (0, 1), respectively, but which have jumps at some of the intervals' ends. Each set satisfies a fourth order differential equation of the form Ly = λny, where the coefficients of the operator L depends only upon the independent variable. The polynomials also have other properties, which are usually associated with the classical orthogonal polynomials.
