Abstract

In the first part (without proofs) an orthogonality measure with partly discrete and partly continuous support will be introduced for the five parameter family of multivariable BC type Askey-Wilson polynomials. In the second part, the limit transitions from BC type Askey-Wilson polynomials to BC type big and little q-Jacobi polynomials will be described in detail.

Keywords

multivariable orthogonal polynomials, BC type Askey-Wilson polynomials, second order q-difference operators, BC type big and little q-Jacobi polynomials
