In mathematics, the little q-Laguerre polynomials p<sub>n</sub>(x;a|q) or Wall polynomials W<sub>n</sub>(x; b,q) are a family of basic hypergeometric orthogonal polynomials in the basic Askey scheme closely related to a continued fraction studied by . (The term "Wall polynomial" is also used for an unrelated Wall polynomial in the theory of classical groups.) give a detailed list of their properties.
The polynomials are given in terms of basic hypergeometric functions and the q-Pochhammer symbol by
