Relative asymptotics for orthogonal matrix polynomials with convergent recurrence coefficients (Q5944131): Difference between revisions

In the space of the polynomials with coefficients in \(\mathbb C^{N \times N}\) consider the inner product of the form \[ \langle P,Q\rangle_{d \alpha } =\int_{\mathbb R} P(t)d\alpha(t)Q^*(t), \] where \(\alpha=[\alpha_{i,j}]\) is a positive definite matrix measure. A sequence of polynomials \[ P_n(t, d\alpha)=\gamma_n(d\alpha) t^n + \text{ lower degree terms} \] is orthonormal with respect to \(\alpha \) if \(\langle P_n,P_m \rangle_{d \alpha }=\delta_{n,m} I\). In the spirit of the well-known work of P.\ Nevai on scalar polynomials, the authors establish the asymptotics of the ``ratios'' \(\gamma_n(d\beta)^{-1} \gamma_n(d\alpha)\) and \(P_n(\cdot, d\beta)^{-1} P_n(\cdot, d\alpha)\) when \[ d\beta(t)=d\alpha(t)+\sum^N_{k=1}M_k\delta(t-c_k),\quad M_k \text{ positive definite matrices,} \] \(\delta\) is the Dirac measure, and the \(c_k\) lie outside the support of \(d\alpha\), \(k=1,\dots,N\).
