Resurgence relation and global asymptotic analysis of orthogonal polynomials via the Riemann-Hilbert approach (Q547396)

The authors present a global asymptotic analysis of orthogonal polynomials for large degree by means of the well known Riemann-Hilbert approach. The authors compute the exact domains of validity of the approximation and find a resurgence relation within the sequence of Riemann-Hilbert problems involved in the derivation. Global asymptotic approximations are given in terms of Airy functions. The authors illustrate their approach by means of Hermite polynomials.
