q-Hahn polynomials

The polynomials are given in terms of basic hypergeometric functions and the Pochhammer symbol by ${\displaystyle Q_{n}(x;a,b,N;q)=\;_{3}\phi _{2}\left[{\begin{matrix}q^{-}n&abq^{n}+1&x\\aq&q^{-}N\end{matrix}};q,q\right]}$

q-Hahn polynomials→ Quantum q-Krawtchouk polynomials：

${\displaystyle \lim _{a\to \infty }Q_{n}(q^{-}{x};a;p,N|q)=K_{n}^{qtm}(q^{-}{x};p,N;q)}$

q-Hahn polynomials→ Hahn polynomials

make the substitution${\displaystyle \alpha =q^{\alpha }}$,${\displaystyle \beta =q^{\beta }}$ into definition of q-Hahn polynomials, and find the limit q→1, we obtain

： ${\displaystyle _{3}F_{2}([-n,\alpha +\beta +n+1,-x],[\alpha +1,-N],1)}$，which is exactly Hahn polynomials.
