Related to Bessel functions, [a2], the Bessel polynomials satisfy

and are given by

The ordinary Bessel polynomials are those found with , [a2].

The moments associated with the Bessel polynomials satisfy

and are given by .

The weight equation is

where is any function with moments. This equation has been solved when

where

when (no restriction), and , [a3]. The weight for the ordinary Bessel polynomials was found by S.S. Kim, K.H. Kwon and S.S. Han, [a1], after over 40 years of search.

Using the three-term recurrence relation

the norm square is easily calculated and equals , [a2], where . Clearly, generates a Krein space on .
