The special functions and, particularly, the classical orthogonal polynomials encountered in many branches of applied mathematics and mathematical physics satisfy a second order differential equation, which is known as the equation of the hypergeometric type. The variable coefficients in this equation of the hypergeometric type are of special structures. Depending on the coefficients the classical orthogonal polynomials associated with the names Jacobi, Laguerre and Hermite can be derived as solutions of this equation.
In this thesis, these well known classical polynomials as well as another class of polynomials, which receive less attention in the literature called Bessel polynomials have been studied.
