Multiple Hermite polynomials and simultaneous Gaussian quadrature

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Multiple Hermite polynomials are an extension of the classical Hermite polynomials for which orthogonality conditions are imposed with respect to r>1 normal (Gaussian) weights wj(x)=e−x2+cjx with different means cj/2, 1leqjleqr. These polynomials have a number of properties, such as a Rodrigues formula, recurrence relations (connecting polynomials with nearest neighbor multi-indices), a differential equation, etc. The asymptotic distribution of the (scaled) zeros is investigated and an interesting new feature happens: depending on the distance between the cj, 1leqjleqr, the zeros may accumulate on s disjoint intervals, where 1leqsleqr. We will use the zeros of these multiple Hermite polynomials to approximate integrals of the form displaystyleint−inftyinftyf(x)exp(−x2+cjx),dx simultaneously for 1leqjleqr for the case r=3 and the situation when the zeros accumulate on three disjoint intervals. We also give some properties of the corresponding quadrature weights.
