A generalized Freud weight

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We discuss the relationship between the recurrence coefficients of orthogonal polynomials with respect to a generalized Freud weight [w(x;t)=|x|^{2lambda+1}expleft(-x^4+tx^2 ight),qquad xinmathbb{R},] with parameters lambda>−1 and tinmathbbR, and classical solutions of the fourth Painlev'{e} equation. We show that the coefficients in these recurrence relations can be expressed in terms of Wronskians of parabolic cylinder functions that arise in the description of special function solutions of the fourth Painlev'{e} equation. Further we derive a second-order linear ordinary differential equation and a differential-difference equation satisfied by the generalized Freud polynomials.
