Asymptotic behavior of solutions of general three term recurrence relations (Q878083)

The authors consider the following recurrence relation \[ w_n = b_n(z)w_{n-1} - a^2_n(z)w_{n-2},\quad n \in {\mathbb N},\;z \in \Omega, \] where \(\Omega \subseteq {\mathbb C}\), \(a_n(z) \neq 0\) and \(b_n(z)\) are analytic functions. Let \(N \in {\mathbb N}\) be fixed. It is assumed that the locally uniform convergences hold \[ \lim_{m \to \infty} a_{mN+j}(z) = a^{(j)}(z),\quad \lim_{m \to \infty} b_{mN+j}(z) = b^{(j)}(z),\;j = 0, 1,\dots, N-1,\;z \in \Omega, \] \[ \text{and }a^{(j)}(z) \neq 0,\quad j = 0, 1,\dots, N-1,\;z \in \Omega. \] The asymptotic behavior of the solutions is studied.
