For given $n,\ell\in\mathbb N_0$ and $\mu\in\mathbb R$, I am interested in studying the following recursion relation:
$$i \tfrac{j(\ell-j+1)(n-j+1)(n+j+1)}{2(2j-1)(2j+1)}  a_{j-1} - \tfrac {j(j+1)}2 a_j
 - i   \tfrac{(j+1)(\ell+j+2)}2 a_{j+1} = \mu  a_j,$$
for $j\ge0$, assuming $a_{-1}=0$.

The trivial solution is $a_j=0,\   \forall j\in\mathbb N_0$.

Since it is given by matrix valued spherical functions of the simmetric pair $(\mathrm{SO }(4) ,\mathrm{SO }(3) )$ one expects to be solvable by a set of orthogonal polynomials on a finite discrete set.

Does anybody recognize this expression or knows any famous family of polynomials solving this?

From already thank you very much.
