An expansion for polynomials orthogonal over an analytic Jordan curve (Q731271)

The author studies asymptotic behaviour of a sequence of polynomials \(\{ p_{n}\}\) which is orthonormal over a Jordan curve \(L\) in the complex plane with respect to a positive analytic weight on \(L\). It is shown that for sufficiently large \(n\), \(p_n \) can be expanded in a series of certain integral transforms that converge uniformly in the whole plane. When \(L\) is the unit circle, these expansions have been previously obtained in [\textit{A. Martínez--Finkelshtein, K. T.-R. McLaughlin} and \textit{E. B. Saff}, Constructive Approximation 24, No. 3, 319--363 (2006; Zbl 1135.42326)] by a different approach. Then the author derives finer asymptotic results for weights having finitely many algebraic singularities.
