Abstract: Classical Jacobi polynomials , with , have a number of well-known properties, in particular the location of their zeros in the open interval (1,1). This property is no longer valid for other values of the parameters; in general, zeros are complex. In this paper we study the strong asymptotics of Jacobi polynomials where the real parameters depend on n in such a way that lim_{n oinfty}frac{alpha_{n}}{n}=A, quad lim_{n oinfty}frac{�eta_{n}}{n}=B, with A,BinmathbbR. We restrict our attention to the case where the limits A,B are not both positive and take values outside of the triangle bounded by the straight lines A=0, B=0 and A+B+2=0. As a corollary, we show that in the limit the zeros distribute along certain curves that constitute trajectories of a quadratic differential. The non-hermitian orthogonality relations for Jacobi polynomials with varying parameters lie in the core of our approach; in the cases we consider, these relations hold on a single contour of the complex plane. The asymptotic analysis is performed using the Deift-Zhou steepest descent method based on the Riemann-Hilbert reformulation of Jacobi polynomials.
