Asymptotic behaviour of Laguerre-Sobolev-type orthogonal polynomials. A nondiagonal case (Q607249)

The paper deals with the asymptotic properties of the polynomials orthogonal with respect to the Sobolev-type inner product defined in the space of polynomials with real coefficients as follows: \[ \langle p, q \rangle_s= \int_0^{\infty} p(x) q(x) x^{\alpha} e^{-x}dx+ \mathbb{P}(0)^t A \mathbb{Q}(0),\; \, \alpha > -1 \] where \(A\) is a positive semidefinite matrix, \(A=\left( \begin{matrix} M_0 & \lambda \\ \lambda & M_1 \\ \end{matrix} \right)\), \(M_0, M_1 \geq 0 \) and \(\mathbb{P}(0)=\left( \begin{matrix} p(0) \\ p'(0) \\ \end{matrix} \right), \mathbb{Q}(0)=\left( \begin{matrix} q(0) \\ q'(0) \\ \end{matrix} \right).\) If \(\{L_n^{\alpha }(x) \}\) is the sequence of the Laguerre monic orthogonal polynomials and \(\{\widetilde{L_n}^{\alpha }(x) \}\) is the sequence of monic Laguerre-Sobolev-type orthogonal polynomials with respect to the above inner product, then it is obtained the outer relative asymptotic: \(\displaystyle \lim_{n \rightarrow \infty} \frac{\widetilde{L_n}^{\alpha }(x)}{L_n^{\alpha }(x)}=1\) uniformly on compact subsets of \(\mathbb{C}\setminus [0, \infty)\). Furthermore, it is obtained an analog of the Mehler-Heine formula for the rescaled polynomials, that is, if \(\displaystyle Q_n^{\alpha}(x)= \frac{(-1)^n \widetilde{L_n}^{\alpha }(x)}{n!}\), then the asymptotic behavior of \(\displaystyle \frac{Q_n^{\alpha}(\frac{x}{n})}{n^{\alpha}}\) is given in terms of the Bessel functions when \( \det A=0\) and \(\det A >0\). Notice that the result contains the particular cases already known for the diagonal case.
