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.

Additions to the formula lists in \Hypergeometric orthogonal polynomials and their q-analogues" by Koekoek, Lesky and Swarttouw

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.

On the Asymptotics of the Meixner—Pollaczek Polynomials and Their Zeros

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.

Form Sequences to Polynomials and Back, via Operator Orderings

TL;DR: In this article, Bender and Dunne showed that linear combinations of words $p$ and $q$ are subject to the relation $qp - pq = \imath, and that such linear combinations can be expressed as a polynomial in the symbol $z = \tfrac{1}{2}(qp+pq)

Ideal interpolation: Mourrain's condition vs. $D$-invariance

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that for more general polynomial spaces, D-invariance and being connected at 1 are unrelated, and that Mourrain's characterization need not hold when his condition is replaced by D-Invariance.

The Weyl algebra, spherical harmonics, and Hahn polynomials

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors apply the duality technique of R. Howe to study the structure of the Weyl algebra and introduce a one-parameter family of ordering maps, where by an ordering map we understand a vector space isomorphism of the polynomial algebra on $\NR^{2d}$ with the weyl algebra generated by creation and annihilation operators.
