Al-Salam–Carlitz polynomials

Al-Salam–Carlitz polynomials are a family of orthogonal polynomials that generalize the classical Carlitz polynomials. They appear in the context of q-series and combinatorial identities and are related to various areas in mathematics, including number theory and formal power series. These polynomials are typically defined in terms of parameters \( a \) and \( b \) and a variable \( x \).
