Some consequences of a symmetry in strong distributions (Q1900646)

The paper is devoted to the study of the polynomials \[ P_n (\lambda, z):= B_n (z)- \lambda B_{n-1} (z), \qquad n\geq 1, \] where \(\lambda\in \mathbb{R}\) and the monic polynomials \(B_n\), \(n\geq 0\), are determined by \[ \int_a^b t^{-n +s} B_n (t) d\psi (t)=0, \qquad 0\leq s\leq n-1, \quad n\geq 1, \] and \(d\psi (t)\) is a strong Stieltjes distribution on \((a,b) \subset (0,\infty)\), satisfying the symmetric (inverse) property \(d\psi (t)=- d\psi (c/t)\), \(t\in (a,b)\), for a suitable \(c>0\). Interpolatory quadrature rules are associated with the polynomials \(P_n (\lambda, \cdot)\) and discussed.
