Abstract

It is well known that generating functions play an important role in theory of the classical orthogonal polynomials. In this paper, we deal with systems of polynomials defined by generating functions and the following problems for them. (A) Derive a differential equation that each polynomial satisfies. (B) Derive the general solution for the differential equation obtained in (A). (C) Is the general solution obtained in (B) written as a linear combination of functions that are expressed by making use of generalized hypergeometric functions? The purpose of this paper is to give two examples that the problem (C) can be affirmatively solved. One is related to the Humbert polynomials, and its general solution is written by kFk-1-type hypergeometric functions. The other is related to a genelarization of the Hermite polynomials, and its general solution is written by kFl-type (k≤l) hypergeometric functions.
