Theor. 45 (2012)], while looking for spin chains that admit perfect state transfer, Vinet and Zhedanov found an apparently new sequence of orthogonal polynomials, that they called para-Krawtchouk polynomials, defined on a bilinear lattice. In this note we present necessary and sufficient conditions for the regularity of solutions of the corresponding functional equation. Moreover, the functional Rodrigues formula and a closed formula for the recurrence coefficients are presented. As a consequence, we characterize all solutions of the functional equation, including as very particular cases the Meixner, Charlier, Krawtchouk, Hahn, and para-Krawtchouk polynomials.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2023-10-26T17:31:05.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "42C05", "33C45" ], "keywords": [ "classical orthogonal polynomials", "para-krawtchouk polynomials", "bi-lattices", "admit perfect state transfer", "functional rodrigues formula" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
