Asymptotic properties and Fourier expansions of orthogonal polynomials with a non-discrete Gegenbauer-Sobolev inner product (Q2268565)

The author studies the asymptotic properties of the monic orthogonal polynomials \(\{Q_n^{(\alpha)}(x)\}_{n \geq 0}\), with respect to the following Gegenbauer-Sobolev inner product \[ \langle f,g \rangle= \int_{-1}^{1} f(x)g(x) d \mu(x) + \lambda \int_{-1}^{1} f'(x)g'(x) d \mu(x), \] where \(d \mu(x)= (1-x^2)^{\alpha-1/2}dx\) with \(\alpha> -1/2\) and \(\lambda >0.\) The induced norm is denoted by \(S_2^{\alpha}.\) Mehler-Heine type formulas for \(Q_n^{(\alpha)}\) and \((Q_n^{(\alpha)})'\) are deduced as well as asymptotics on compact subsets of \((-1,1)\) and several Sobolev norms are computed. Finally, the existence of a function in the space \(S_p^{\alpha}\) with \(1 \leq p \leq p_0\) is proved whose Fourier expansion in the Sobolev polynomials diverge in the norm of \(S_{\infty}^{\alpha}\) a.e. in \([-1,1]\).
