Ladder operators and a differential equation for varying generalized Freud-type orthogonal polynomials

In this paper, we introduce varying generalized Freud-type polynomials which are orthogonal with respect to a varying discrete Freud-type inner product. Our main goal is to give ladder operators for this family of polynomials as well as find a second-order differential-difference equation that these polynomials satisfy. To reach this objective, it is necessary to consider the standard Freud orthogonal polynomials and, in the meanwhile, we find new difference relations for the coefficients in the first-order differential equations that this standard family satisfies.
