Asymptotics of multiple orthogonal polynomials for a system of two measures supported on a starlike set (Q719356)

The paper is devoted to study the behavior of multiple orthogonal polynomials \(Q_n\) associated with a Nikishin-type system of two measures supported on a starlike set, under some assumptions on these orthogonality measures. Algebraic and asymptotic properties such as the \(n\)th root asymptotics and the zero asymptotic distribution are investigated. In particular, the author obtains that the polynomials satisfy a three-term recurrence relation of order three with positive coefficients and it is also proved that the sequence \(\frac{Q_{n+1}}{Q_n}\) has four different periodic limits. Furthermore, this limit periodic behavior is described in terms of a conformal representation of a compact Riemann surface and several relations are found involving these limiting functions and the limiting values of the recurrence coefficients.
