We provide several versions of the corresponding connection formulas, ladder operators, and several versions of the second order q-difference equations satisfied by polynomials in this sequence. As a novel contribution to the literature, we provide certain three term recurrence formula with rational coefficients satisfied by U(a)n (x; q, j), which paves the way to establish an appealing generalization of the so-called J-fractions to the framework of Sobolev-type orthogonality. %K Al-Salam-Carlitz I polynomials %K Al-Salam-Carlitz I-Sobolev type polynomials %K Second order linear q-difference equations %K Structure relations %K Recurrence relations %K Basic hypergeometric series %K Matemáticas %K Mathematics %~ Biblioteca Universidad de Alcala
