Abstract
A limit formula
from q-Racah polynomials to big q-Jacobi polynomials
is given which can be considered as a limit formula for orthogonal polynomials.
This is extended to a multi-parameter limit with 3 parameters, also
involving (q-)Hahn polynomials, little q-Jacobi polynomials and
Jacobi polynomials. Also the limits from Askey-Wilson to Wilson polynomials
and from q-Racah to Racah polynomials are given in a more conceptual way.
Key words:
Askey scheme; q-Askey scheme; q-Racah polynomials; big q-Jacobi polynomials; multi-parameter limit.
