Continuous q-Legendre polynomials

From HandWiki

In mathematics, the continuous q-Legendre polynomials are a family of basic hypergeometric orthogonal polynomials in the basic Askey scheme.(Koekoek Lesky) give a detailed list of their properties.[1]

Definition

The polynomials are given in terms of basic hypergeometric functions by

[math]\displaystyle{ P_{n}(x|q)={}_4\phi_3\left(q^{-n},q^{n+1},q^{\frac14}e^{i\theta},q^{\frac14}e^{-i\theta};q,-q^{-\frac12},-q;q,q\right),\quad x=\cos\,\theta. }[/math]
