Sobolev orthogonal polynomials in the complex plane (Q5929299)

Consider \(m+1\) finite Borel measures \(\mu_0,\dots,\mu_m\) with compact supports \(S(\mu_k)\) in \(\mathbb{C}\). The sequence \((Q_n)\) of monic orthogonal polynomials of degree \(n\) corresponding to the inner product \[ \langle p,q\rangle:= \sum^n_{k=0} \int p^{(k)} \overline{q^{(k)}} d\mu_k \] is called sequence of general (monic) Sobolev orthogonal polynomials with respect to \(\langle\cdot,\cdot\rangle\). The authors show that under a certain domination assumption on the measures \(\mu_k\) the zeros of the polynomials \(Q_n\) are uniformly bounded. Moreover, they study the \(n\)th root asymptotic behaviour of the sequence \((Q_n)\) and the asymptotic distribution of the zeros.
