An Operator Approach to the Al-Salam-Carlitz Polynomials

By using the q-exponential operator, we obtain a Rogers-type formula which leads to a linearization formula. With the aid of a bivariate augmentation operator, we get a simple derivation of Mehler’s formula due to AlSalam and Carlitz. By means of the Cauchy companio...
