In mathematics, the Tricomi–Carlitz polynomials or (Carlitz–) Karlin–McGregor polynomials are polynomials studied by Tricomi (1951),[1] Template:Harvs,[2] and Template:Harvs,[3] related to random walks on the positive integers.

They are given in terms of Laguerre polynomials by

ℓn(x)=(−1)nLn(x−n)(x).

They are special cases of the Chihara–Ismail polynomials.
