A family of Nikishin systems with periodic recurrence coefficients (Q2842982)

For a Nikishin system of \(p\) measures, the corresponding sequence of multiple orthogonal polynomials satisfies a \((p+2)\)-term recurrence relation, whose recurrence coefficients have periodic limits of period \(p\), under appropriate assumptions. The authors take these limits as the coefficients of a new recurrence relation, and construct the so-called Chebyshev-Nikishin polynomials. These polynomials form a sequence of multiple orthogonal polynomials with respect to a Nikishin system whose measures are absolute continuous on their corresponding intervals.
