Estimates of Christoffel functions of generalized Freud-type weights (Q580621)

Upper and lower bounds are found for the generalized Christoffel functions \(\lambda_{n,p}(d\mu;x)\) \((0<p<\infty)\) of Freud-type weights. These weights have the form \(w_ r(x)=| x|^ r \exp (-Q(x)),\) (x\(\in R\), \(r>-1)\) with a singularity at the origin and non-compact support. The proof requires an inequality reducing weighted integrals of polynomials over R to integrals over compact intervals.
