On the asymptotic behaviour of functions of the second kind and Stieltjes polynomials and on the Gauss-Kronrod quadrature formulas (Q1198150)

The author studies the asymptotic behaviour of the functions of second kind on the unit circle and on the interval \([-1,1]\). Using the known connection between the Stieltjes polynomials and the functions of the second kind is found that the Stieltjes polynomial \(E_{n+1}(.,(1-x^ 2)w)\) is asymptotically equal to the orthogonal polynomial \(p_{n+1}(x,w)\), if \(w(x)\sqrt{1-x^ 2}\) is positive and twice differentiable on \([-1,1]\). For sufficiently large \(n\), interlacing properties of zeroes of Stieltjes polynomials and orthogonal polynomials are presented. Finally, the positiveness of Kronrod-quadrature weights is shown.
