Charting the -Askey scheme

Abstract
Following Verde-Star, Linear Algebra Appl. 627 (2021), we label families of orthogonal polynomials in the -Askey scheme together with their -hypergeometric representations by three sequences of Laurent polynomials in , two of degree 1 and one of degree 2, satisfying certain constraints. This gives rise to a precise classification and parametrization of these families together with their limit transitions. This is displayed in a graphical scheme. We also describe the four-manifold structure underlying the scheme.
