Abstract
Let {$P_k$} be any sequence of classical orthogonal polynomials of a discrete variable. We give explicitly a recurrence relation (in k) for the coefficients in $P_iP_j=\sum_kc(i,j,k)P_k$, in terms of the coefficients σ and τ of the Pearson equation satisfied by the weight function ϱ, and the coefficients of the three-term recurrence relation and of two structure relations obeyed by {$P_k$}.
