ABSTRACT
In this paper, we introduce a general (p,q)-Sturm-Liouville difference equation whose solutions are (p,q)-analogues of classical orthogonal polynomials leading to Jacobi, Laguerre, and Hermite polynomials as (p,q)→(1,1). In this direction, some basic characterization theorems for the introduced (p,q)-Sturm-Liouville difference equation, such as Rodrigues representation for the solution of this equation, a general three-term recurrence relation, and a structure relation for the (p,q)-classical polynomial solutions are given.
