Meixner Polynomial of the First Kind

 

Polynomials  which form the Sheffer sequence for

 

			(1)
			(2)

and have generating function

(3)

The are given in terms of the hypergeometric series by

(4)

where  is the Pochhammer symbol (Koepf 1998, p. 115). The first few are

			(5)
			(6)

(7)

Koekoek and Swarttouw (1998) defined the Meixner polynomials without the Pochhammer symbol as

(8)

The Krawtchouk polynomials are a special case of the Meixner polynomials of the first kind.
