ON THE EXTREME ZEROS OF ORTHOGONAL POLYNOMIALS

  • Published : 1999.03.01

Abstract

We investigate the asymptotic behavior of the extreme zeros of orthogonal polynomials with respect to a positive measure d$\alpha$(x) in terms of the three term recurrence coefficients. We then show that the asymptotic behavior of extreme zeros of orthogonal polynomials with respect to g(x)d$\alpha$(x) is the same as that of extreme zeros of orthogonal polynomials with respect to d$\alpha$(x) when g(x) is a polynomial with all zeros in a certain interval determined by d$\alpha$(x). several illustrating examples are also given.
