Álvarez-Nodarse, R. On characterizations of classical polynomials. (English) Zbl 1108.33008 J. Comput. Appl. Math. 196, No. 1, 320-337 (2006). The author presents a unified study of the classical discrete polynomials and \(q\)-polynomials of the \(q\)-Hahn tableau by using the difference calculus on linear-type lattices. He obtains several characterization theorems for the classical discrete and \(q\)-polynomials of the \(q\)-Hahn tableau. The classical continuous case can be obtained from the \(q\)-case by taking the limit \(q\leftarrow 1^{-}\). He also discusses some problems related to the characterization by F. Marcellán et al. [Acta Appl. Math. 34, 283–303 (1994; Zbl 0793.33009)].
