"On polynomial solutions of certain divided-difference equations"

 
Abstract:

We study the properties of some divided-difference operators such as 
the one of Askey-Wilson, and deduce a method to find polynomial 
solutions of certain linear homogeneous divided-difference equations on 
nonuniform lattices with polynomial coefficients. As Application, we 
show how this method can be implemented to improve the capabilities the 
difference equations solver routines implemented in the computer 
algebra systems such as Maple and Mathematica.
