A new set of polynomials in powers of xh (h > 0) which are related to the Laguerre polynomials , have been defined by a Rodrigues type formula involving the forward difference operator Δh of increment h. Besides obtaining shift operator formulae for , a definition of fractional power of Δh has been given. The definition has been illustrated by establishing known relations of the confluent hypergeometric function.
