View source for 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.

==Definition==

The  polynomials are given in terms of [[basic hypergeometric function]]s and the [[Pochhammer symbol]] by ]]<ref>Roelof Koekoek, Hypergeometric Orthogonal Polynomials and its q-Analogues, p501,Springer,2010</ref>

<math>K^{aff}_{n}(q^{-x};p;N;q)=\;_{2}\phi_1\left(\begin{matrix}

; q,q \right)</math>
