Approach of the continuous q-Hermite polynomials to x-representation of q-oscillator algebra and its coherent states

We use the recursion relations of the continuous [Formula: see text]-Hermite polynomials and obtain the [Formula: see text]-difference realizations of the ladder operators of a [Formula: see text]-oscillator algebra in terms of the Askey–Wilson operator. For [Formula: see text]-deformed coherent states associated with a disc in the radius [Formula: see text], we obtain a compact form in [Formula: see text]-representation by using the generating function of the continuous [Formula: see text]-Hermite polynomials, too. In this way, we obtain a [Formula: see text]-difference realization for the [Formula: see text]-oscillator algebra in the finite interval [Formula: see text] as a [Formula: see text]-generalization of known differential formalism with respect to [Formula: see text] in the interval [Formula: see text] of the simple harmonic oscillator.

Solutions of the Al-Salam–Chihara and allied moment problems

We study the moment problem associated with the Al-Salam–Chihara polynomials in some detail providing raising (creation) and lowering (annihilation) operators, Rodrigues formula, and a second-order operator equation involving the Askey–Wilson operator. A new infinite family of weight functions is also given. Sufficient conditions for functions to be weight functions for the [Formula: see text]-Hermite, [Formula: see text]-Laguerre and Stieltjes–Wigert polynomials are established and used to give new infinite families of absolutely continuous orthogonality measures for each of these polynomials.
