TLDR
In this paper, an alternative proof is given for the connection between a system of continuous Hahn polynomials and identities for symmetric elements in the Heisenberg algebra, which was first observed by Bender, Mead, and Pinsky [Phys. Rev. Lett. 56, 2445 (1986); J. Math. 28, 509 (1987)].
Abstract
An alternative proof is given for the connection between a system of continuous Hahn polynomials and identities for symmetric elements in the Heisenberg algebra, which was first observed by Bender, Mead, and Pinsky [Phys. Rev. Lett. 56, 2445 (1986); J. Math. Phys. 28, 509 (1987)]. The continuous Hahn polynomials turn out to be Meixner–Pollaczek polynomials. Use is made of the connection between Laguerre polynomials and Meixner–Pollaczek polynomials, the Rodrigues formula for Laguerre polynomials, an operational formula involving Meixner–Pollaczek polynomials, and the Schrodinger model for the irreducible unitary representations of the three‐dimensional Heisenberg group.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors give a rather arbitrary choice of formulas for (q-)hypergeometric orthogonal polynomials which the author missed while consulting Chapters 9 and 14 in the book "Hypergeometric OOOP and their q-analogues" by Koekoek, Lesky and Swarttouw.

Solution of the Hausdorff moment problem by the use of Pollaczek polynomials

TL;DR: In this article, a new method for solving the Hausdorff moment problem using Pollaczek polynomials is presented, and it is shown that the expansion is asymptotically convergent in the L2-norm when the data (i.e., the moments) are perturbed by noise and finite in number.
