Description

In this paper, we show that the dilatation operator in one dimension can be used to enlarge the Lie algebra generated by the raising and lowering operators for some classes of special functions. As a result, we are able to derive new recursion relations and addition formulae for these functions. Furthermore, we derive generalized ladder operators for these functions under coordinate stretching and translations
