It is well known that polynomials \(p_n\), \(n\geq 0\), satisfying the three-term recurrence relation: \[ xp_n(x)=a_{n+1}p_{n+1}(x)+b_np_n(x)+a_np_{n-1}(x)\tag{1} \] with \(p_{-1}(x)=0\), \(p_0(x)=1\), where \(a_n>0\) and \(b_n\in \mathbb{R}\), are orthogonal on the real line with respect to a probability measure \(\rho\). The zeros of \(p_n\), denoted by \(x_{1,n}>x_{2,n}> \cdots> x_{n,n}\), are simple. They are also unbounded if the recurrence coefficients are unbounded. In this case, they may be contracted with a proper scaling factor to obtain asymptotic results as shown, for instance, by the following result established by the second author: ``Let \(\alpha>1\) and \(A\leq B\). Suppose that the recurrence coefficients in (1) satisfy: \[ \lim_{n\rightarrow\infty} {a_n\over \phi(n)}={1\over 4}(B-A),\qquad \lim_{n\rightarrow\infty}{b_n\over \phi(n)}={1\over 2}(A+B), \] where \(\phi\) is increasing and regularly varying with parameter \(1/\alpha\), that is, for every \(t>0\), \[ \lim_{x\rightarrow\infty}{\phi(xt)\over \phi(x)}=t^{{1\over \alpha}}. \] Then \[ \lim_{n\rightarrow\infty}{1\over n}\sum_{j=1}^{n}f\left( {x_{j,n}\over \phi(n)}\right)=\int f(t)v(t)\, dt \] for every bounded continuous function \(f\), where \(v\) is the Mellin convolution of the \(\arcsin\) density on the interval \([A,B]\) and the beta density \(\alpha t^ {\alpha-1}\) on \([0,1]\). The density \(v\) is known as the Nevai-Ullman density for \([A,B]\) with parameter \(\alpha\). In this paper, the authors caracterize the orthogonality measures which give rise to the Nevai-Ullman density for \([A,B]\) with parameter \(\alpha\) if \(0<A<B\). They obtain discrete measures supported on a sequence of non-negative points tending to infinity, and they illustrate this result by some examples of polynomials which are extremal with respect to an \(L_p\)-norm.
