§18.2(ii) $x$-Difference Operators

►If the orthogonality discrete set $X$ is $\{0,1,\mathrm{\dots },N\}$ or $\{0,1,2,\mathrm{\dots }\}$, then the role of the differentiation operator $d/dx$ in the case of classical OP’s (§18.3) is played by ${\mathrm{\Delta }}_x$, the forward-difference operator, or by ${\nabla }_x$, the backward-difference operator; compare §18.1(i). … ►If the orthogonality interval is $(-\mathrm{\infty },\mathrm{\infty })$ or $(0,\mathrm{\infty })$, then the role of $d/dx$ can be played by ${\delta }_x$, the central-difference operator in the imaginary direction (§18.1(i)). …

9: 18.25 Wilson Class: Definitions

… ►For the Wilson class OP’s $p_n(x)$ with $x=\lambda (y)$: if the $y$-orthogonality set is $\{0,1,\mathrm{\dots },N\}$, then the role of the differentiation operator $d/dx$ in the Jacobi, Laguerre, and Hermite cases is played by the operator ${\mathrm{\Delta }}_y$ followed by division by ${\mathrm{\Delta }}_y(\lambda (y))$, or by the operator ${\nabla }_y$ followed by division by ${\nabla }_y(\lambda (y))$. Alternatively if the $y$-orthogonality interval is $(0,\mathrm{\infty })$, then the role of $d/dx$ is played by the operator ${\delta }_y$ followed by division by ${\delta }_y(\lambda (y))$. …
