Multiple orthogonal polynomials associated with an exponential cubic weight

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We consider multiple orthogonal polynomials associated with the exponential cubic weight e^{-x^3} over two contours in the complex plane. We study the basic properties of these polynomials, including the Rodrigues formula and nearest-neighbor recurrence relations. It turns out that the recurrence coefficients are related to a discrete Painlev'e equation. The asymptotics of the recurrence coefficients, the ratio of the diagonal multiple orthogonal polynomials and the (scaled) zeros of these polynomials are also investigated.


The authors introduce two families of multiple orthogonal polynomials associated with an exponential cubic weight over contours in the complex plane. As main results, the Rodrigues formula and nearest-neighbour recurrence relations are found. The coefficients of the latter are connected with two sequences \(a_n\) and \(b_n\), which are related to the coefficients of the non-multiple orthogonal polynomials with the same weight and contours (presented also in this article). The asymptotic behaviour of these sequences \(a_n\) and \(b_n\) is also studied. In the diagonal case (both indices of the multiple orthogonal polynomial with equal values) the zeros of these functions are placed over the contour of orthogonality. The authors describe the asymptotic distribution of the zeros in this case, as well as the asymptotic behaviour of the ratio of two consecutive diagonal polynomials as the degree tends to infinity.
