Orthogonal polynomials for exponential weights \(x^{2\rho} e^{-2Q(x)}\) on [0,\(d\)) (Q557555): Difference between revisions

This long paper gives a nearly complete treatment of the properties of polynomials orthogonal with respect to exponential weights on (in)finite intervals (bounds, zeros, Christoffel functions etc.). The weights are \[ w(x)=W_{\rho}^2(x)=x^{2\rho}e^{-2Q(x)},\;x\in I=[0,d), \] with \(0<d\leq\infty,\,\rho>-1/2, Q\) continuous and increasing on \(I\) with \(\lim_{x\uparrow d}\,Q(x)=\infty\). The main results are on -- bounds for the polynomials (Theorems 1.2--1.5 on pages 204/205), -- restricted range inequalities (Theorems 5.1--5.2 on page 220), -- Christoffel functions (Theorems 6.1--6.2 on pages 230/231), -- the zeros (Theorems 7.1--7.2 on page 236). This is a very nicely written paper, entirely within the setting of so-called `hard analysis'.
