Asymptotics of extreme zeros of the Meixner-Pollaczek polynomials (Q1372050): Difference between revisions

The authors, in this paper study the asymptotic behaviour of the extreme zeros of the Meixner-Pollaczek polynomials (for notation see \textit{T. S. Chihara}, An introduction to orthogonal polynomials (1978; Zbl 0389.33008). A typical result is given by their Theorem (5.1) which states that the largest and smallest zeros \(X_{N,1}\) and \(X_{N,N}\) of a Meixner-Pollaczek polynomial of order \(N\) are numerically given by \[ X_{N,1} \sim b-c_1 (b-a)^{y_3} \left[\left({\lambda^2 +a^2\over \lambda^2 +b^2} \right)^{1/2}- {\lambda^2 +ab \over \lambda^2 +b^2} \right]^{-1/3} \] and \[ X_{N,N} \sim a+c_1(b-a)^{y_3} \left[\left( {\lambda^2+ h^2 \over \lambda^2 +a^2} \right)^{1/2}- {\lambda^2+ ab\over \lambda^2+ a^2} \right]^{-1/2}, \] for some constant \(c_1\), where \(a\) and \(b\) are defined by the authors in their work.
