Abstract. Let {P n } n≥0 be a sequence of 2-orthogonal monic polynomials relative to linear functionals ω 0 and ω 1 (see Definition 1.1). Now, let {Q n } n≥0 be the sequence of polynomials defined by Q n := (n + 1) −1 P n+1 , n ≥ 0. When {Q n } n≥0 is, also, 2-orthogonal, {P n } n≥0 is called "classical" (in the sense of having the Hahn property). In this case, both {P n } n≥0 and {Q n } n≥0 satisfy a third-order recurrence relation (see below). Working on the recurrence coefficients, under certain assumptions and well-chosen parameters, a classical family of 2-orthogonal polynomials is presented. Their recurrence coefficients are explicitly determined. A generating function, a third-order differential equation, and a differentialrecurrence relation satisfied by these polynomials are obtained. We, also, give integral representations of the two corresponding linear functionals ω 0 and ω 1 and obtain their weight functions which satisfy a second-order differential equation. From all these properties, we show that the resulting polynomials are an extention of the classical Laguerre's polynomials and establish a connection between the two kinds of polynomials. They are defined by the generating functionTheir corresponding monic polynomials L (α) n n≥0 are defined byLn , n ≥ 0 and satisfy the second-order recurrence relation

In particular, those having some properties that are analogous to the classical orthogonal polynomials.In this paper, when d = 2, under special conditions and well-chosen parameters, we give a family of 2-orthogonal "classical" polynomials which are a natural extension of the classical Laguerre polynomials. These polynomials have some properties analogous to those satisfied by the classical Laguerre polynomials. Their recurrence coefficients and generating function are explicitly determined, a differential-recurrence relation and a third-order differential equation are obtained. We denote these polynomials by P n (·; α), where α is an arbitrary parameter. They are called the 2-orthogonal polynomials of Laguerre type related to the two linear functionals ω 0 ,ω 1 , where ω 0 satisfies a second-order differential (distributional) equation and ω 1 is given in terms of ω 0 and ω 0 (see equations (4.13), (4.14)). Finally, one of the problems is to determine integral representations of both functionals ω 0 and ω 1 . Indeed, applying the method explained in [8], if we denote by ᐃ 0 (resp., ᐃ 1 ) the weight function representing the functional ω 0 (resp., ω 1 ), we obtain that when α > −1, ᐃ 0 (x) = e −1 (x)I * α (x) on the interval 0 ≤ x < +∞, with (x) = x α e −x being the weight function related t...
