Abstract:

Taking the examples of Legendre and Hermite orthogonal polynomi als, we show how to interpret the fact that these orthogonal polynomials are moments of other orthogonal polynomials in terms of t heir associated Riordan arrays. We use these means to calculate the Hankel transforms of the associated polynomial sequences.
