AbstractThe generalized Stieltjes–Wigert polynomials depending on parameters 0≤p<1 and 0<q<1 are discussed. By removing the mass at zero of an N-extremal solution concentrated in the zeros of the D-function from the Nevanlinna parametrization, we obtain a discrete measure μM, which is uniquely determined by its moments. We calculate the coefficients of the corresponding orthonormal polynomials (PnM). As noticed by Chihara, these polynomials are the shell polynomials corresponding to the maximal parameter sequence for a certain chain sequence. We also find the minimal parameter sequence, as well as the parameter sequence corresponding to the generalized Stieltjes–Wigert polynomials, and compute the value of related continued fractions. The m...
