This is extended to a multi-parameter limit with 3 parameters, also involving (q-)Hahn polynomials, little q-Jacobi polynomials and Jacobi polynomials. Also the limits from Askey-Wilson to Wilson polynomials and from q-Racah to Racah polynomials are given in a more conceptual way.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v4", "updated": "2011-11-04T14:03:18.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "33D45", "33C45" ], "keywords": [ "big q-jacobi polynomials", "q-racah polynomials", "limit formula", "little q-jacobi polynomials", "multi-parameter limit" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "journal": "SIGMA", "year": 2011, "month": "Apr", "volume": 7, "pages": "040" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2011SIGMA...7..040K" } } }
