ABSTRACT The classical 2-orthogonal polynomials share the so-called Hahn property, this means that they are 2-orthogonal polynomials whose the sequences of their derivatives are also 2-orthogonal polynomials. Based only on this property, a new class of classical 2-orthogonal polynomials is obtained as particular solution of the non-linear system governing the coefficients involved in the recurrence relation fulfilled by these polynomials. A differential-recurrence relation as well as a third-order differential equation satisfied by the resulting polynomials are given. Many interesting subcases are highlighted and explicitly presented with special reference to some connected results that exist in the literature. The integral representations of their associated linear functionals will be exhaustively discussed in a forthcoming publication.
