Recurrence Coefficients of a New Generalization of the Meixner Polynomials

Abstract

We investigate new generalizations of the Meixner polynomials on the lattice $\mathbb{N}$, on the shifted lattice $\mathbb{N}+1-\beta$ and on the bi-lattice $\mathbb{N}\cup (\mathbb{N}+1-\beta )$. We show that the coefficients of the three-term recurrence relation for the orthogonal polynomials are related to the solutions of the fifth Painlevé equation P${}_{\text{V}}$. Initial conditions for different lattices can be transformed to the classical solutions of P${}_{\text{V}}$ with special values of the parameters. We also study one property of the Bäcklund transformation of P${}_{\text{V}}$.
