Nonnegative quadratic forms and bounds on orthogonal polynomials (Q5944132)

The authors show that some nonnegative quadratic forms containing orthogonal polynomials, such as e.\ g.\ the Christoffel-Darboux kernel for \(x=y\) in the classical case, provide a lot of information about the behavior of the polynomials on the real axis. They illustrate the method for the case of Hermite polynomials and use it to derive new explicit bounds for binary Krawtchouk polynomials.
