In mathematics, Meixner polynomials, also called discrete Laguerre polynomials, are a family of discrete orthogonal polynomials introduced by Josef Meixner. They are given in terms of binomial coefficients and the (rising) Pochhammer symbol by .
Meixner polynomials belong to the Hahn class of polynomials, along with Hahn polynomials, Charlier polynomials, and Kravchuk polynomials.
