Strong asymptotics for Laguerre polynomials with varying weights (Q1298552)

The main result is an asymptotic of the kind \(P_n(z)=f_n(z,\alpha _n)(1+o(1)),n\to \infty, \) where the o-term holds uniformly on compact subsets of \({\mathbb C}\backslash [-1,1] ,\) \(f_n(z,\alpha _n)\) are elementary functions given explicitely, \(P_n(z)\) is the rescaled Laguerre polynomial \(P_n(z)=L_n^{(\alpha _n)}(2\sqrt{n\alpha _n}z+\alpha _n),\) and the real sequence \((\alpha _n)\) satisfies \(\lim_{n\to \infty}\alpha _n/n=\infty .\) Relative asymptotics for \(P_n(x)/H_n(\sqrt{2n+1}z),\) \(H_n(z)\) being the rescaled Hermite polynomials and asymptotics for \(P_n(x)\) with \[ x=\frac{1+2n}{2\sqrt{n\alpha _n}}+\sqrt{\frac{(n+1)(n+\alpha _n)}{n\alpha _n}}\cos \theta, \] \(\theta \in (0,\pi)\) is fixed,are given too. Also, the case \(\alpha _n/n\to a\in [0,\infty)\) is considered (without details).
