The symmetric Meixner-Pollaczek polynomials with real parameter

The Symmetric Meixner-Pollaczek polynomials for λ>0 are well-studied polynomials. These are polynomials orthogonal on the real line with respect to a continuous, positive real measure. For λ?0, are also polynomials, however they are not orthogonal on the real line with respect to any real measure. This paper defines a non-standard inner product with respect to which the polynomials for λ?0, become orthogonal polynomials. It examines the major properties of the polynomials, for λ>0 which are also shared by the polynomials, for λ?0.
