โฆ Synopsis
Markov processes which are reversible with either Gamma, Normal, Poisson or Negative Binomial stationary distributions in the Meixner class and have orthogonal polynomial eigenfunctions are characterized as being processes subordinated to well-known diffusion processes for the Gamma and Normal, and birth and death processes for the Poisson and Negative Binomial. A characterization of Markov processes with Beta stationary distributions and Jacobi polynomial eigenvalues is also discussed.

In this paper we consider the polynomials {P~'V(x)}~0, orthogonal with respect to a certain symmetric bilinear form of Sobolev type. These polynomials are the result of two linear perturbations to the orthogonal polynomials {Pn(x)}~0, eigenfunctions of a linear differential or difference operator L.
