We present in a unified and explicit way all these systems of orthogonal polynomials, the associated special functions and the corresponding raising/lowering operators. This general formalism allows us to extend some known results to a larger class of functions.10 pagesMathematical Physics33C45; 81R05; 81R30Systems of orthogonal polynomials defined by hypergeometric type equationstext
