Jacobi-Angelesco multiple orthogonal polynomials on an \(r\)-star (Q2309574)

The authors extend the type I Legendre-Angelesco and Jacobi-Angelesco polynomials to \(r\) intervals. They take a special configuration for the \(r\) intervals by having one common point \(0\) and placing them on an \(r\)-star in the complex plane, with endpoints at the \(r\) roots of unity. The main contributions of the paper are: i) an explicit formula for the polynomials; ii) a proof of their multiple orthogonality; iii) an expression of the recurrence coefficients in the nearest neighbour recurrence relations; iv) an asymptotic distribution of the zeros.
