Abstract

Racah and Wilson polynomials with dilated and translated argument are
reparametrized such that the polynomials are continuous in the parameters as
long as these are nonnegative, and such that restriction of one or more of the
new parameters to zero yields orthogonal polynomials lower in the Askey scheme.
Geometrically this will be described as a manifold with corners.
