Classical and Quantum Orthogonal Polynomials in One Variable

Coverage is encyclopedic in the first modern treatment of orthogonal polynomials from the viewpoint of special functions. It includes classical topics such as Jacobi, Hermite, Laguerre, Hahn, Charlier and Meixner polynomials as well as those (e.g. Askey-Wilson and Al-Salam--Chihara polynomial systems) discovered over the last 50 years and multiple orthogonal polynomials are discussed for the first time in book form.
