Let $x_1$ and $x_k$ be the least and the largest zeros of the Laguerre or Jacobi polynomial of degree $k.$ We shall establish sharp inequalities of the form $x_1 <A, x_k >B,$ which are uniform in all the parameters involved. Together with inequalities in the opposite direction, recently obtained by the author, this locates the extreme zeros of classical orthogonal polynomials with the relative precision, roughly speaking, $O(k^{-2/3}).$
We use Turan type inequalities to give new non-asymptotic bounds on the extreme zeros of orthogonal polynomials in terms of the coefficients of their three term recurrence. Most of our results deal with symmetric polynomials satisfying the three term recurrence $p_{k+1}=x p_k-c_k p_{k-1},$ with a nondecreasing sequence ${c_k}$. As a special case they include a non-asymptotic version of Mate, Nevai and Totik result on the largest zeros of orthogonal polynomials with $c_k=k^{delta} (1+ o(k^{-2/3})).$
We consider a problem of bounding the maximal possible multiplicity of a zero at of some expansions $sum a_i F_i(x)$, at a certain point $c,$ depending on the chosen family ${F_i }$. The most important example is a polynomial with $c=1.$ It is shown that this question naturally leads to discrete orthogonal polynomials. Using this connection we derive some new bounds, in particular on the multiplicity of the zero at one of a polynomial with a prescribed norm.
This paper deals with monic orthogonal polynomial sequences (MOPS in short) generated by a Geronimus canonical spectral transformation of a positive Borel measure $mu$, i.e., begin{equation*} frac{1}{(x-c)}dmu (x)+Ndelta (x-c), end{equation*} for some free parameter $N in mathbb{R}_{+}$ and shift $c$. We analyze the behavior of the corresponding MOPS. In particular, we obtain such a behavior when the mass $N$ tends to infinity as well as we characterize the precise values of $N$ such the smallest (respectively, the largest) zero of these MOPS is located outside the support of the original measure $mu$. When $mu$ is semi-classical, we obtain the ladder operators and the second order linear differential equation satisfied by the Geronimus perturbed MOPS, and we also give an electrostatic interpretation of the zero distribution in terms of a logarithmic potential interaction under the action of an external field. We analyze such an equilibrium problem when the mass point of the perturbation $c$ is located outside of the support of $mu$.
In this contribution we deal with sequences of monic polynomials orthogonal with respect to the Freud Sobolev-type inner product begin{equation*} leftlangle p,qrightrangle _{s}=int_{mathbb{R}}p(x)q(x)e^{-x^{4}}dx+M_{0}p(0)q(0)+M_{1}p^{prime }(0)q^{prime }(0), end{equation*}% where $p,q$ are polynomials, $M_{0}$ and $M_{1}$ are nonnegative real numbers. Connection formulas between these polynomials and Freud polynomials are deduced and, as a consequence, a five term recurrence relation for such polynomials is obtained. The location of their zeros as well as their asymptotic behavior is studied. Finally, an electrostatic interpretation of them in terms of a logarithmic interaction in the presence of an external field is given.
For the weight function $W_mu(x) = (1-|x|^2)^mu$, $mu > -1$, $lambda > 0$ and $b_mu$ a normalizing constant, a family of mutually orthogonal polynomials on the unit ball with respect to the inner product $$ la f,g ra = {b_mu [int_{BB^d} f(x) g(x) W_mu(x) dx + lambda int_{BB^d} abla f(x) cdot abla g(x) W_mu(x) dx]} $$ are constructed in terms of spherical harmonics and a sequence of Sobolev orthog onal polynomials of one variable. The latter ones, hence, the orthogonal polynomials with respect to $la cdot,cdotra$, can be generated through a recursive formula.
