Dec 9, 2010 at 5:39 comment added Johann Cigler Yes of course. This is a typo.
Dec 8, 2010 at 21:12 comment added Aaron Meyerowitz Well then did you mean $H_n(x,s)=xH_{n-1}(x,s)-(n-1)s H_{n-2}(x,s)?$ Otherwise I am not sure how the $x$ comes in. With that interpretation, More generally, given functions $u(n)$ and $v(n)$ (and initial conditions) let $A_n=A_n(u,v,s)$ be $$A_n=u(n)A_{n-1}+sv(n)A_{n-2}$$ In your two examples $(u,v)=(x,1)$ and $(u,v)=(x,n-1)$.
Dec 8, 2010 at 20:15 comment added Johann Cigler Yes, $x$ should be a fixed number and $s$ the variable in order that the polynomials with even resp. odd indices form a basis of the vector space.
Dec 8, 2010 at 20:14 comment added Aaron Meyerowitz Are you still thinking of $s$ as a formal variable for polynomials with $x$ as a parameter? That could make sense for $F_n$ but I don't see that $x$ does much of anything for $H_n$
Dec 8, 2010 at 16:42 comment added j.c. Is there a nice continued fraction interpretation of these identities?
