Affine q-Krawtchouk polynomials
In mathematics, the affine q-Krawtchouk polynomials are a family of basic hypergeometric orthogonal polynomials in the basic Askey scheme, introduced by Carlitz and Hodges. {{harvs|txt | last1=Koekoek | first1=Roelof | last2=Lesky | first2=Peter A. | last3=Swarttouw | first3=René F. | title=Hypergeometric orthogonal polynomials and their q-analogues | publisher=Springer-Verlag | location=Berlin, New York | series=Springer Monographs in Mathematics | isbn=978-3-642-05013-8 | doi=10.1007/978-3-642-05014-5 | mr=2656096 | year=2010|loc=14}} give a detailed list of their properties.
