Let us define the basis of polynomials given by:

P_0=1, P_1=x, P_2=x(x-1), P_3=x(x-1)(x-2),$$ \begin{array}\ P_0=1, \\ P_1=x, \\ P_2=x(x-1), \\ P_3=x(x-1)(x-2), \\ P_4=x(x-1)(x-2)(x-3), \ldots\\ \end{array} $$ P_4=x(x-1)(x-2)(x-3),...

II would like to know if this basis is orthogonal with respect to some measure. Thank you very much!

Orthogonal basis of polynomials?

Let us define the basis of polynomials given by:

P_0=1, P_1=x, P_2=x(x-1), P_3=x(x-1)(x-2), P_4=x(x-1)(x-2)(x-3),...

I would like to know if this basis is orthogonal with respect to some measure. Thank you very much!
