On the zeros of subrange Jacobi polynomials

From MaRDI portal





The subrange Jacobi polynomials \(\pi_n(x)\), orthogonal on the symmetric interval \([-c,c]\), \(0<c<1\), are associated with the weight function \(w(x)=(1-x)^\alpha(1+x)^\beta\), \(\alpha>-1\), \(\beta>-1\). In the ultraspherical case \(\alpha=\beta\), it is established that the positive zeros \(x_\nu(c)\) of \(\pi_n(x)\) are monotonically increasing functions of interval boundary \(c\). In the general case \(\alpha<\beta\), monotonicity for the zeros is deduced subject to the conjecture that the quantity \[ \left(\frac{\pi_n(-c)}{\pi_n(c)}\right)^2 \left(\frac{1-c}{1+c}\right)^{\beta-\alpha}<1 \qquad (0<c\leq 1;\;n\geq 1). \] Numerical evidence is given in support of this conjecture.
