Abstract
Motivated by a recent paper by Shashikala [Indian J. Pure Appl. Math. 48 (2) (2017), 177-185] on the extraction four sequences of orthogonal polynomials from generating function from reciprocal of odd numbers, in this note we identify the weight functions and the intervals of orthogonality of these sequences of polynomials. Two of these sequences can be expressed in terms of particular Jacobi polynomials transformed to [0, 1], and other two are non-classical polynomials also orthogonal on [0, 1].
